Customer Reviews of Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies

Excellent follow-up to the first
Just when I was getting bored with the routine from "Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies", they decided to come out with a sequel with the same instructor (the always wonderful Sara Ivanhoe) but with a more challenging workout. I had been doing the old routine for about 10 months when I decided to step things up a bit and buy the sequel. This video is a fitting follow-up to the first. While the first routine introduced you to yoga and got you used to practicing it on a regular basis, the second video really gets you into it and presents a good workout for the body. You will be surprised at how fit this yoga workout will make you feel. I've been doing the workout for 6 months now, and I'm more toned and muscular, and I've even lost some weight! (Never meant to, though, it just happened...) When I noticed that my clothes didn't fit as snuggly as they used to, and I had to buy smaller rings, I knew the yoga was working!

Like the first video, the instructor goes through each pose step-by-step to make sure you are doing it properly. If you're a veteran of the first video, you'll have no problem learning the new routine. But even if this is your first time, you will have no problem learning and doing the poses since the instructor makes yoga so accessible for everyone. And the good thing about the video is that you can watch it a few times, memorize the routine, and then do it on your own after that.

With this video, who needs to spend money on expensive yoga classes at the gym? You'll get a great workout at a great price.

A great next step for beginning yogis
Big fan of Sara Ivanhoe here. Her instructional style is pleasant without being patronizing; she looks like she's really enjoying herself and manages to convey the feeling that she is in the room with you. Her instruction creates a very clear picture of what the body is supposed to be doing/feeling/aiming for at any time.

I found it to be not only a great sequel to Basic Yoga for Dummies, but an excellent companion to her two Crunch workouts--many of the poses introduced in the Crunch series are explored in more depth here, which made both the Fat-Burning and the Joy Of Yoga workouts become clearer.

Once I understood the poses I wished that there were an option to run through them with fewer preliminaries, but I like the DVD so much anyway that I had to give it five stars. I'll be working with this one for awhile--there's plenty of room to grow with this workout.

great for beginner
I have started doing Bikram's yoga for a month and a half and was looking for a supplementary program which I can do at home when I am not going to class. After going through almost every yoga video available at Amazon[.com], I chose this one by Sara Ivanhoe.

I like her style. Her instructions are clear, and her tone is encouraging and soothing. However, perhaps Bikram's program is more fast-paced, I generally find her pace too slow. Her instructions become long-winded after you have done the program several times. I wonder if she can do a video for the more experienced.
