Good one for beginners.
I was a bit disappointed in this dvd. Its great for beginnings, which I am, but I wished it would have either been longer or had more "routines". I think its something I will tire of quickly.

DVD for daily use
It is a good short DVD for AM and PM for people who have busy schedules. It should never be considered an alternative to practicing in a yoga studio with a yoga teacher. It is helpful for when you can't be in yoga studio everyday. Or you come back from office work and need a good refreshing stretch. Those who call the routines simple, easy and boring perhaps need to know the nuances of yoga and I can promise you that many of the poses by Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden are extremely challenging when DONE PERFECTLY, which means breath regulation, having a keen understanding of where your sit bones are, how active are your quads, how you are maintaining stretch in your hamstrings, what is happening to your abdominal muscles, where your shoulder blades are viz a viz your spine, what is the alignment of your hips in a pose, how you increase spine length with inhalation and you settle down further in the pose with exhalation. If you are aware of that (which you can only learn with a good yoga teacher), then you will really appreciate these seemingly simple workouts. I also like the fact that they both don't speak too much as in some of the yoga dvds, you hear them talking so much that you can't focus on your pose.
These workouts need to be done over and over again and with each time, you learn something new about your body. You observe your limitations, and you work with your body and not force upon it any pose.
I do agree that those GAIAM ads are quite irritating as you can't fast forward them and reach your workout sessions.


boring if you're fit at all
I find this yoga DVD not nearly challenging enough. I felt nothing at all happening. Nothing is held long enough and worst of all it was unforgivingly boring. Especially the long commercial they force you to sit through at the beginning. The most excitement I had was trying to figure out why this is at the top of the yoga DVD's on Amazon.
