 Maybe better for just viewing , 2005-04-09
The constant instruction during the moves was irritating. There was a good bit of talking. I was more tense after my session than before I started. For a beginner who just wants to see the moves and study correct position, maybe this is helpful. Personally, it made me so hyper-aware of form, I couldn't concentrate on relaxing.

 A basic Introduction to Yoga, 2005-01-06
This DVD was recommended to me because I was way into Pilates and Weight lifting at the time. It introduced me to Yoga and I eventually gave up Pilates completely. Sara is a very gentle instructor, wisely guiding you to listen to your body. I have since this introduction adopted daily practice, develved into the spiritual practice of yoga, and included it as part of my program for addiction recovery. Its a gentle, kind, place to start.

 Excellent for beginners, 2004-11-09
Sara does a great job of introducing Yoga to you. She takes her time to show you everything a couple of times before you hold for the 6 breaths. The only bad thing about the video is that once you learn everything it gets kinda annoying to keep having to hear her go over everything each time you use the video. Also the popups can be distracting when your concentrating. Overall great for beginners!

excellent beginner yoga video - just the facts, 2004-08-27
I have been physically active for many years and have been doing cardio kickboxing as my main exercise for a few years. I'm in my mid-40's and decided to try yoga to complement the high-intensity workouts I'm used to. I wanted a no-nonsense approach to learn the correct technique, and I believe this video fit the bill perfectly. Sara Ivanhoe presents yoga in such a way as to make it accessible to everyone, from her knowledgeable, friendly advice to modifications for individuals of different levels. There's nothing mystical or meditative here, just 12 basic poses (the "daily dozen") and breathing techniques. Recommended for the "newbie" or rank beginner.

 Gives the Tiny Details, but Lacking in Routine, 2004-06-09
This tape is -- as everyone else has mentioned -- a good tape for the beginner. What also needs to be mentioned is that it is a technical tape. Not technical as in jargony and difficult to understand, but that it gives the details of how to do and not to do a pose. The upside to this is that it explains to beginners the poses. The downside is there really isn't any flow, so the tape isn't meant to be used for daily practice. It should be seen of as an adjunct and complement to your daily yoga tape, not your routine. A book could fill these shoes just as easily, and there are lots of excellent books out there. Try something by Rodney Yee for beginners instead.
