"I have been trying to find a yoga DVD that is broken in short segements so that I can slowly try to incorporate yoga for flexibility training. I have some experience but am a beginner. What I wanted most was a morning routine that included sun salutations so I could easily follow along. That is exactly what I found. I purchased this DVD for the "awaken and energize" segment and it's what I was looking for--a 10 minute segment of breathing, streching, and sun salutations.
Susan Grant is easy to follow, she cues well enough so I'm not constantly looking at the TV and can instead focus on my form. There's some voice-over narration for extra information along with the occasional inset to show modifications. The set is sparse but does not detract from the workout. I've only done the first segment but I've previewed the entire disc and plan on trying the other workouts at some point. Thus far, I'm pleased with the disc and look forward to using it frequently."
Great for intermediate level

"I love this video. Susan Grant's cues are excellent, and the pace is perfect for me. The short segments are great when I don't have time for a full workout. If I do have extra time, after doing one segment, I always want to do more - it is very positive and energizing. I would not recommend this video for absolute beginners, because if you don't know basics & modifications, you could get hurt trying some of these poses/moves. I have been slowly learning & practicing yoga, mostly from books and videos, over about a 2 year period and from this video I learned some great variations on poses that have really enhanced my practice."
Just what I was looking for...

"I am a beginner, and this is concise and easy to follow. I tried another DVD that was hard to follow and complicated-this one is just what I was looking for. It relaxes me in some parts, challenges me in others. I feel so good after doing even just one 10 minute segment."
I find this DVD fun and easy to use, one of my favorites!

"I own several yoga instruction DVDs, and this is my favorite.
Unlike some other series with lot more limited routines, this one has wide enough variety of poses available, and they really address pretty much every part of the body.
And unlike other routines, that feel too stuffy, rigid and 'non-fun' to pay attention to, this one is presented in flowing and logical sequences, that is easy and fun to follow.
The tempo is sometimes little too fast for me, but hey, that's what Pause button is for, and I use it a lot. Not just to hold the different positions longer and repeat them more often, but the variety and sheer number of poses also inspire me to stop and stretch in many different ways in-between the presented routines, so most of the time each 10 minutes (well, more like 12-13 minute) recorded segment takes me half an hour or longer to go through.
