This DVD has been in my library for a while now and I find different uses for it all the time. With the individual programs running from 15-60+ minutes, I can use the DVD for whatever my needs and time constraints are for that day.
I often find myself using the "weights and resistance" programs without the additional equipment just because I like the poses and time limits in that section.
The instruction on this DVD is great for a beginner and there are modifications given for the poses. I am not a beginner (but not an expert either), but I use this one all the time.
This DVD is great for learning yoga and includes practices as you advanced to help further tone and help lose weight.
The Getting Started section is an assortment of routines to start you out with. Good selection and variety of poses. As You Progress continues on with further routines while the ending section adds some very nice extras to the mix - weights and bands for a good variation.
The instructor is very clear and and explains the poses step by step throughout the routines, when to breath, where and when to move your arms and other advice along the same lines. I enjoyed the Sun Salutations and with a little work and time I was able to improve and stretch further so I know I am making progress. Some sections I found a bit easier to pick up than others because some parts of my body needed a bit more work, but they have come around. Definately worth it for the learning and results.
I bought this DVD because it said "for beginners". I watched most of it, but got frustrated because since I am a "beginner" they used terms that I did not understand and moved very quickly. I am quite disappointed in this DVD. One more stress to ad to the stress that caused me to buy the DVD in the first place.
