Customer Reviews: intense but good January 2, 2007 Selene (UK) 22 out of 23 found this review helpful I love this DVD it's a really strong workout and the great thing about it is that it caters for all levels in it, but be aware from the start that this has some very challenging poses in it and the pace is pretty relentless as well. If your looking for a more intense yoga workout that is well thought out and has some postures that you don't often get in a lot of yoga DVDs then this is for you. Highly recommended. MTV Power Yoga April 11, 2008 Mrs. K. N. Green (Kent,UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Having been to a lot of yoga and pilates classes I found this dvd pitched at exactly right point for me ( a fill in when I can't get to a class). It gets straight into the workout, with no long drawn out introductions/ explanations. I would agree with the other reviews that it is not suitable for beginners as the fast pace would certainly lose those unfamiliar with the moves. If you are used to Power (ashtanga) yoga then there is definately enough verbal instruction to allow you to flow through the poses without having to be glued to the screen. The best thing for me was the direction towards the more challenging variations. The Pilates abs session is a good addition if a bit short so would probably repeat this section a couple of times to feel the full effect. Overall a good varied workout, interesting poses, an excellent resource for the intermediate/advanced. Great all rounder February 13, 2009 Semeli (london) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful As a beginner to intermediate level looking for something challenging but not incredibly unachievable, this is the one. Sure some of the poses are quite difficult, but at least they are there, which gives you room for improvement, not to mention good motivation. The stretching poses, again are off the beaten track, which gives you a sense of inclusion as to what is out there for someone like me who does not have time to go to classes. This one tones you, gives you potential without having to go and buy a whole collection of DVDs to keep up with your progress, and is an intense workout. br /Contrary to another reviewer, I think she gives excellent instructions how to get into the poses, how they should and should not feel, and in a stepwise fashion, so one could easily attempt poses they have never done before. Plus on the extra features there also some written instructions for the more difficult poses. br /Finally, I cannot leave out the actual setting of the workout. The location is gloriously sunny, so you can clearly see how to get into the poses, and the music is stylish, loungy without being in your face. Even though there are cynics out there thinking this is too California, I'll take this anyday compared to the depressing artificial studio lighting. Only for the advanced! August 20, 2007 Lila (London, UK) 17 out of 18 found this review helpful I read the review of this and thought a yoga workout that incorporates some of the more advanced positions would be a good challenge. Thankfully I studied yoga some years ago or I don't know how I would have gotten through this! br / br /First of all, there is little to no instruction on how to properly get into the poses. The sun salutations are completed at a very quick pace which doesn't allow you to get into the pose fully before moving on. And, the pilates section (ab workout) is incredibly short. br / br /I like this DVD for the advanced positions (full back bending, side plank pose, eagle pose, etc.), but think I'll stick to my other yoga DVDs! Err....challenging, to say the least... March 24, 2008 Naomi (UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful One thing that surprised me about this DVD was the fact that they managed to turn yoga into quite an exhausting workout! It certainly is challenging, and for a complete beginner like me, really quite daunting. The positions are moved through quickly and there is little instruction on how to do them properly - the majority of the time is taken up with madly working out which arm is where, which leg is in the air and how far over you're leaning, only to realise that they've already moved onto the next position. Overall result - getting extremely flustered, getting carpet burn on your knees and elbows and turning off the tv in defeat. Well, thats just me...I'm sure if you have previous yoga experience and are looking for a workout thats a bit different you'd probably love it!
