Excellent workout- very relaxing!

"I started with this DVD in an aerobics class that I take. We do a different workout video everyday and this one is by far my favorite out of over 50 we've done.
I'm not very good at fast pace kickboxing type videos and this was the perfect solution for me. I was able stretch myself extremely well and gain a lot of flexibility. I'm an avid tennis player and I've noticed an improvement in my game since I've been working out with this video.
Usually, I'm turned off by yoga. I don't like the "mystical elements" most videos try to incorporate. This workout left that part out, but still manages to be extremely relaxing.
I'd recommend this video to a beginner or a pro!"
Not a good Yoga Video

"I am in the minority, but I did not care for this yoga workout. I found the cueing confusing and uneven. The instructor does not state what yoga pose we are doing either which would be helpful. She never says- this is the triangle pose or warrior I. There is inadequate time spent in the stretches and the transitioning is rocky.
I enjoy many other Firm workouts but this one was a dud. I would recommend Rodney Yee Yoga DVD's or David Swenson and/or Baron Baptiste. You would get a more valuable Yoga Stretch workout and Yoga knowledge from these instructors rather than the Firm's take on Yoga."
Yoga pure and simple

"The Firm has done it again. My core and lower back feel incredible after this workout. I wanted an intro to yoga without all the "jargon" and I got exactly what I was looking for with this video. Anyone who stretches and works on their flexibility regularly will be familiar with the movements and postures in this video, but there's enough of a learning curve to give those who aren't athletic/flexible something to aspire to and keep motivated. I plan to use this video on rest days or on days when I'm too tired to workout at a much faster pace."
