Summary: I feel at peace after this workout! One of my favorites!
Review: If you are looking for an instructional yoga video this is not for you. If you are looking for an advanced or power yoga video this is not for you. If you are already familiar with the basics of yoga, need little instruction, and want a moderate level routine to follow that incorporates the spiritual aspects of yoga (including relaxing music and beautiful scenery)...you must get this video.

Summary: This video is 10 years old and still Fantastic
Review: I bought this yoga workout almost 10 years ago on video and had to replace it twice it was used so much. Thank goodness it is available on DVD, because I still use it to this day. Most Yoga videos are so boring, instruction in a studio with a little music in the background and way too much instruction that gets in the way of you really enjoying yoga. Minimal instruction, beautiful landscapes to look at while breathing, and nice relaxing music. I wish she would come out with another!!!

Summary: Terrible Workout - OK Poses
Review: I can't figure out why this video get such good reviews. The poses are OK, but the workout as a whole is terrible. The video is set in a staged desert environment - no mats - so you never know which direction to set your mat at the beginning of the workout. Also, the transitions are terrible - the video stops filming the people and shows the sand and plants - but the descriptions of what is going on is less than useful so by the time they start showing the people again, you are hurrying to get into the position the individuals are in. I much prefer learning the names of poses and then walking through them - with constant video of the individuals so you can see what is going on. This is terrible. My wife agrees.
