Great teachers, good mix of sessions

"I love this collection. First, Yoga Zone tapes are my favorite. They explain the poses, what you should be focusing on, what you should be feeling, how to breathe, and how to make each pose harder/ easier depending on your level. All these sessions are suitable for beginners, and there's a great selection: flexibility, stress relief, yoga for abs, total body conditioning, intro to power yoga, and yoga for weight loss. Each DVD has two sessions. If you want to stretch, tone, relax, or move, there's a session in this collection for it. Plus, the variety keeps it interesting. If you're just starting yoga, buy/rent a Yoga Zone tape to see if you like it, and if you're going to stick with it, get this collection!"
Excellent Yoga Workout

"I began yoga about a year ago. I bought this set about 2 months ago and still absolutely love it. There are a wide variety of types of exercises, from stretching to fat burning, all at the beginner level. Most of the DVDs have 2 - 20 min sessions, so you can mix and match. Their instruction is well done; you can look at the screen to see what you should look like, but listen to understand all the fine details. They really emphasize the breath, telling you when to exhale and inhale, which is something I find lacking in many other yoga videos. If you are not sure you need so many yoga DVDS, I recommend starting with the YogaZone Intro to Power Yoga, the second session is great."
The right length and great instructors

"I would highly recommend the Ultimate DVD collection. I found Yoga Zone while living in Hungary for a year. A british entertainment channel would air a 20 minute Yoga Zone segment at 6am, Noon, and 6pm. I got into the habit of doing Yoga Zone at least once a day and the benefits were noticable after only a couple of weeks. I was more flexible and felt better all around. The way Yoga Zone enhances your knowledge of your own breath and how your breath relates to your body will help you in any situation. (They eventually dubbed the segments into Hungarian and I didn't enjoy them as much when I couldn't hear the instructors talking me through the session)
I also purchased another Yoga Zone 3-pack that includes 3-1 hour sessions. I am currently doing other types of exercise that equals 1-hour to 2-hours per day and I found the 1-hour sessions difficult to fit in. The 20-minute sessions get you going and still have a noticeable impact on flexibility and also provide the ability to progress into more difficult postures.
I am excited to have finally found the 20-minute sessions and almost anybody can find 20-minutes to clear your mind and rejuvinate your body."
The best yoga DVD ever!

"I found yogazone via satellite TV 3 years ago. Sadly it was taken off air about a year later and I only had one tape of off air recordings. When that broke a few months ago I tried various other yoga videos but none compared to yogazone. When I found the ultimate DVD collection I was so happy! The DVDs are exactly like the original programme and are excellent for both beginners and more experienced people. The programmes are easy to follow and I always feel I've had a complete workout after them. The programmes are each 20 minutes in length (two programmes per disk) so it's great to fit into a busy day. This is in contrast to most yoga videos which just have one hour or so long workout. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about taking up yoga as well as those looking to improve the skills they have already learnt."
Excellent for maintaining good health and happiness in your

"This collection is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to practice at home. It works for you if you've never tried yoga before and it's great for the more experienced among us as well. I like the fact that you learn about the holistic benefits of each posture as you go along.
I used to tune in to the Yoga Zone programmes when they aired on Fox Health network and decided that they were so helpful to me, I should get my own set!
Each session is 20 minutes long and the benefits of such a short session are tremendous! Who could not have time for a 20 minute class right at home?
I highly recommend this package for anyone who wants to de-stress and become happier, healthier, stronger and more flexible all at once.
