"Since I'm only just becoming a fan of yoga, I bought several new workouts to try and this was one of them. It's fantastic and makes me enjoy yoga even more. Stacy is a great instructor and makes this easy to follow.
This workout is very well cued and contains classic yoga poses. You're supposed to be more energized by this and it helps to increase your flexibility and improve your strength. There are modifications if you need them and so almost anyone could do this. I especially love the relaxation segment at the end (there is also a bonus 'power yoga' segment too).
I really do think that you get better each time you perform yoga and I have noticed a slight difference already in my flexibility and posture. I find this really relaxing especially at the end of a long hard day and I truly think that if you give this a go, you'll learn to enjoy yoga too. It's not always easy at first, but it gets easier and you will be calmer in your day to day life and be able to deal with stress better too. I love it."
A welcome addition to personal fitness libraries on DVD

"Stacy McCarthy's Yoga Body: Lean & Defined Total Body Workout is a fitness DVD offering a yoga routine of postures designed to promote strength, flexibility, stamina, and balance. Though accessible to viewers of all backgrounds, the series of yoga poses do get progressively more difficult, in a routine designed to work the entire body and boost one's metabolism. The standing postures and leg exercises, expertly demonstrated by certified yoga teacher Stacy McCarthy, are meant to provide a genuine workout as well as an introduction to the wonderful benefits of yoga. A welcome addition to personal fitness libraries on DVD. 60 min., color.

Depends what you're looking for

"This DVD wasn't quite what I was looking for. I've practiced Yoga for nearly 2 years and recently moved to a place where there are no yoga classes nearby. I was hoping, that with a few yoga DVD's I would have a fun way to mix up my daily yoga routine, while still following appropriate form. While Stacey stays true to many roots of Yoga, I found her voice rather intrusive. The moves are along the beginner lines of Yoga. Don't expect any thing challenging on this DVD if you have practiced in a studio. With that said, Stacey is well organized, and explains the moves very well. I would recommend this for those who are new to yoga and want to get their feet wet. My husband (who has never practiced yoga before) enjoyed the addition that this gave to his workout, without confusing him while he learned the moves.
Overall, a good quality DVD and high production quality. In the future I will look to see if Stacey has DVDs available for intermediate-advanced."
