Instructor is an exercise buff, not a yogi 1 out of 5
I can't feel relaxed watching this DVD. The instructor is very distractive. All I can think of is the Terminator... I think she'll be a better instructor doing hardcore aerobics...
Just For Me! 5 out of 5
This is a great DVD. The preview video sold me on this one and the fact that it is produced and directed by Andrea Ambandos, who is very experienced in this field. It has the right tensity and movement I was looking for -- not to fast and not to slow. The movements are not hard to perform, nice and smooth. The music is not bad either, it keeps me motivated throughout the entire video. I've had the video for over a couple of weeks now and I can see and feel the results. I have more energy and it is a great stress reliever.
I recommend this DVD to others who are just starting out or wanting to add on to their current workout routine.
Not for beginners 3 out of 5
You have to be familiar with yoga poses in order to do this workout, as no instruction is offered. It is a fast-paced yoga based workout that I enjoyed, but I found the music really annoying.

I am enjoying this workout. I feel that I have exercised when I am through but I don't hurt.
Easy workout 4 out of 5
I ordered this DVD along with a bunch of other ones, including some Jillian Michaels ones, and right now those are what I'm focusing on. I tried this one once and I found it to be enjoyable and easy.
It's about 35 minutes long once you get started, and it flows from one pose to another. I love Chris Freytag, and she takes time telling you how to do the poses, then picks up the pace once you've gone through them.
I gave it 4 stars because it's not as intense as what I'm into doing right now, but it's still a good workout for a yoga workout. I'll definitely use it from time to time, when I'm looking to do a little extra exercise.
