A Must for Begginners and Intermediates!! 5 out of 5
Sara Ivanhoe is truly an inspiration for learning the healing art of yoga. She has excellent cueing, her explanations with the flow of the exercises is thorough, and she has a pleasant personality.
In case you are wondering how you may begin your yoga practice, please start with her in any of her DVD's. I recommend this DVD because it has five 20-minute chapters that you may use individually or create a combination. The 6th sequence on the ball is easier starting off, though it's twice as long as the other 5 chapters.
Short but Sweet 5 out of 5
I really didn't think that I would get so much out of these short work outs but I have lost 3 pounds. and because they are so short I don't have any problems fitting them into my busy day
Easy Yoga at a Great Price 5 out of 5
I have been practicing yoga for over 2 years, but I still tend to prefer instructors who are slow and descriptive. Sara Ivanhoe definitely meets my needs. Her instructions are very thorough and easy-to-follow, and she really exudes a sense of warmth. This DVD offers several options for quick work-outs. I have enjoyed them all. It is a great deal and an excellent option for anyone just learning yoga.
Love it for tone and dropping inches 5 out of 5
My youngest baby is 9.5 months old, and my oldest is 2 yrs. I've been trying to drop those last few pounds since before I got pregnant with my second. The high impact workouts (aerobics etc) were too much for my recovering prego hips, so I thought yoga would be better. Plus - any time in the past that I stick to yoga a couple of days a week, my back and core always feel much better.
I love the variety that this DVD offers, and Sara is my favorite yoga person yet. I started back up again (since before my second baby) last week (I did four of the workouts), and I've already lost two of those annoying pounds. Of course, I've combined with diet, but I've lost inches from my waist already, and my legs are already more toned.
Love the variety, love the instructor, love the results, love how I feel....love it.
Excellent for beginners and great price! 5 out of 5
I have been looking for a good yoga series that will challenge me by working different sets of muscles in each one. I get bored if I do the same video repeatedly, so I figured I would give it a try. I absolutely love it! Sarah is an excellent teacher, VERY easy to follow, very precise in what to do and how to do it. She knows just when to remind you to breathe and loosen the jaw (when it is getting tough!) and is a very comforting guide. It is a little like working out with a friend.
Pros:
1) excellent instruction in breathing and explaining the poses
2) 6 different workouts that each work a different part of the body - doesnt get boring too fast
3) not a whole lot of "cosmic" yoga - mostly focuses on the workout
4) workouts are only 20 minutes long, but you can easily go from one workout to another and change up the routine to keep it interesting.
5) great price!
Cons:
1)Workouts are too short to do just one. To get a full workout, you would have to do at least two of them.
2) You have to sit through the introduction at the beginning of every workout... cant just skip straight to the workout
3) The Abs workout isn't nearly as good as I was hoping...
This is the best yoga DVD that I have come across so far. Excellent for beginners and the poses can easily be made more difficult if you are closer to intermediate.
