"Since they already wrote all the great & different poses she uses which is different then some yoga dvds, I can add only that it also has the option of 5.1 surround sound so you can hear the Hawaiian ocean waves behind her.
The poses really work on building muscle strength, she really works the upper body with going up/down in chaturanga & her chair pose is 100x deeper, lower & harder to do then any other yoga dvd I've done.
Her personality is great, she's matter of fact with gentle optimism. Some lines are "stay conscious of the back, so you're not overreaching, the lower back houses the kidneys, maintain a fullness in your back to optimize good health & alignment," "You must sink to rise up," "extend strongly though the feet, the inner thighs will follow," "with strength in your arms, lower yourself to the floor," "remember to balance your effort w/surrender" "if you need to modify, it's perfectly ok, you will still build strength," "even the most beautiful lotus grows in dirtiest of ponds."
She is great with cues to remind you to keep going such as what organs each pose helps, not to get discouraged, analogies to really picture what you are trying to accomplish, etc. & to move through it. She's not fake happy, she tells you she understands it's tough, but it's worth it for your health to challenge yourself & do your best.
No,this isn't an advanced yoga workout, this is high beginner/low intermediate workout.
You can see her passion & ability to do yoga in clips on you tube."

"Just too simple for my taste. Too short and not really flowing nor challenging for intermediate level. More of a beginners short practice, no problem with this except it is not advertised this way, specially with the cover, which has NOTHING to do with the actual practice."

"Buy it and you will not regret it. If you are advance level, it will be a nice medium level workout. Newbies will get a tough workout. It is nice intermediate workout and you work up a little sweat, if you listen and follow the cues. Perfect time frame."
