 Good DVD!Jun 26, 2010
I like this DVD a lot. I'm new to yoga, so this was a good introduction. The setting is really nice on the DVD and the woman is easy to listen to understand. The woman offers easier options for the more challenging poses, which is nice, especially if you're new to yoga.
I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 stars, because as with any exercise DVD, you have no idea if you're doing the pose correctly or incorrectly. I will admit after doing the DVD a handful of times and then going to a yoga class, I did realize I was doing some of the poses incorrectly. Also, it's bit challenging to engage yourself in a specific pose, while having to watch the TV.
 great for beginnersJun 22, 2010
This is the best yoga for beginners. I am going to order more for my cancer survivor friends. It has really helped during the treatment to keep me centered and calm.

Very helpfulJun 15, 2010
I decided to buy a yoga DVD after taking a yoga class and becoming distressed at how weak and stiff I was. I bought this DVD because of the many positive reviews.
The DVD is good for absolute beginners. It's challenging, but not discouragingly so. You can do it even if you're not strong and not flexible. I like the fact that there are different sequences, one as short as 10 minutes, so that I can mix it up a little and don't get really bored. Also, I can squeeze a sequence in even if I have very little time. I especially like the backbends one.
Barbara's voice is calming and her directions are very good. Sometimes it seems like she's there in the room, since her comments always seem to be on target. She's not there to dazzle you with her agility or to shame you into injuring yourself, but to teach you how to do the poses properly. She gives adequate time to transition from pose to pose. She gives alternatives for those who are more and less capable.
So far, I have only done one sequence in the Extended Routines section of the DVD. I don't recall which one, but I admit I was a little disappointed; it was longer, but not harder than the ones in the Getting Started section. However, some of the other ones may be much harder.
I don't think this will be the only DVD I ever use, but most likely, no DVD could play that role. If I lived near Barbara, I would not hesitate to study with her. Since that's not possible and since I do get bored (I've been using the DVD every morning for weeks now), I will probably soon purchase something that has even more targeted sequences (for arms, glutes, abs, or even another strength one that's just different). However, I think it's excellent for encouraging someone who may be apprehensive and/or at a very beginning stage while still teaching "real" yoga.
