Energizing Yoga Workout
I loved this tape! I thought the instructor was motivating and a real person. Fit without being too intimidating. She explains all the moves really well and reminds you to breathe in sequence, which I found very helpful. I didn't think yoga could be "fat burning" but I was sweating and energized at the end of the workout. Plus I was sore in all the right places the next day. I really like the Crunch series of tapes because most of them are 30 - 45 minutes which is alot easier for me to squeeze in to my day. This tape will become part of my regular schedule. I highly recommend it for beginners and intermediates. It probably wouldn't be suitable for advanced yoga enthusiasts.

Good Workout
I really like this video! I think those of us who did all of those aerobic classes in the 80s and 90s have struggled to believe that there are low/non-impact ways to burn fat and tone/sculpt one's body. Practicing yoga does in fact do both of these and all you have to do is try it and you'll like it. This video is a good length and because Sarah, the instructor, takes you through the moves in a "yoga flow" your heart rate will go up and you'll be building muscles at the same time. If you want to balance out those spinning and kick boxing classes like I did, this video works and gives you results! Also if you are a true beginner, who has never taken any yoga classes, this tape may be too much to start with. For beginners, get the Crunch Joy of Yoga or one of the Living Arts beginner videos to familiarize yourself w/the poses and the style of yoga. For those who do know yoga, this tape allows you to use your knowledge and get a good workout.

GREAT for Beginners and Busy People
This video is a GREAT, low-key yoga workout. It is good for beginners and newcomers. Most of yoga poses demonstrated in this video focus on stretching the legs and back muscles (e.g. lunges, side stretches, triangle pose, downward dog, warrior pose, etc.). At the end of the workout, Sara concludes with a six minute ab workout, stretches, and a brief relaxation meditation.

GREAT: Sara starts off this program by focusing on your breath and making you aware of your breathing. This is key in yoga! This program also provides alternative poses so you can start gradually and at your own level...you will actually see another instructor demonstrating these alternative poses. This is great and helps you to modify the program! The video shots are great--you can clearly see all of the poses demonstrated!!

BAD: I think the title may be misleading because it is not an exercise yoga program or an aerobic yoga program. So you may be burning fat but not in the traditional sense.

COMPARISONS TO OTHER VIDEOS:
(1) If you like Gaiam/Living Arts Yoga videos then I would consider this the next level to advance to. If you ever used/watched the Living Arts "Stress Relief" Yoga program then you will recognize some of these poses. And will probably enjoy this rountine.
(2) There is no comparison Bryan Kest's power yoga videos. Kest is for people who are more advanced, want a more challenging yoga workout, and a longer routine.

Moreover, I think all of the videos I mentioned are great. So choose the video that best suits your needs, your level of ability, and fits into your schedule. The Living Arts series is certainly for beginners (programs are usually 20 minutes and easy), the Crunch series is probably the intermediate level (programs are usually 30-40 minutes), and try Bryan Kest's Power Yoga videos if you want something challenging (50 minutes).

RECOMMENDATION:
Buy the "Crunch - Perfect Yoga Workout" on DVD which includes this program + another yoga program entitled the Joy of Yoga. You get two yoga programs for the price of one. Enjoy!
