Customer Reviews of Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies
Good for beginners I've just started the practice of yoga. This DVD is easy to follow and I really like the instructor's sense of humor and her relaxing and encouraging manner. This may be too basic for someone who has taken a class, but for those who want a simple home-instruction DVD, this is a good one.
Basic Yoga for dummies
I have been using this product for several years. It had been really helpful for me; because I have a back injury and this has alleviated some of my pain. The poses that Sara Ivanhoe demostrates can be modified for those of us who have little or no experience with yoga. Sara's instructions are not condescending or demeaning to the beginner. I highly recommend these poses to anyone who is starting out in yoga.
Just plain awful for anyone

>Things I liked: She's not half-naked so you can focus on what she's doing and not be worried she's going to fall out of her clothes any minute. There are a few (very few) split screens for showing modified poses. She explains form. She does each pose for the same length of time. It's not dubbed--she's speaking to you as she's doing the pose rather than dubbing it after it was filmed (which is awful).

>Things I hated: SLOOOOOOW. Way too slow--even for beginners. We were completely bored through both sets. All of the poses are incredibly easy and alone are not enough to keep a person fit. Nauseatingly slow so you're very bored only 5 minutes into the program. Each pose is too long (6 long breaths). No free-flow vinyasa moving from one pose to the next in a routine, not even in the intermediate section. Each pose is disjointed and shown alone or with one other pose so that there really is not routine. It's not done as a class. There's a reason that most of the good yoga DVDs are done as classes--it flows, doesn't waste time, and the person at home can follow along watching different people get the pose right. I'd rather watch that than one person spend 10 minutes explaining one pose. Enough already, move on. There are irritating sirens, alarms, and obnoxious noises throughout the DVD to give it that "for dummies" alert which completely detracts from the relaxation of yoga (even in the intermediate section). Yoga was definitely not the right topic for a "Dummies" tape. There are also "for dummies" tests throughout the DVD, which are downright obnoxious. They're in the form of true/false questions given in the middle of each pose. (quite obnoxious).

>I would not recommend this DVD to anyone. I'm not sure how Sara Ivanhoe got her reputation, but this is the third yoga DVD of hers that I've seen and I would never attend one of her classes. She's awful.
