Summary: Love it
Comment: I really love this video. I am 32 and about 50 lbs overweight. I recently had lap band surgery and was anxious to start excercising. I have always wanted to do yoga and every beginner dvd I have ever tried has been to hard. This is perfect. I love it. Not to easy, Not to hard.

Summary: Skip This One
Comment: This DVD is visually very pleasing and the presenter's voice is very pleasant. I've taken yoga classes from a plus-size teacher who was very good at showing the class how to modify poses for a larger body, and I was disappointed that this DVD contained absolutely none of that content. If I were a beginner, I would have found the unhurried pace reassuring, but Megan Garcia doesn't explain any of the movements at all so beginners I'm sure would be lost. For someone with a little yoga experience, though, the pace is a little too slow and basic. At the end she puts all of the moves together so they flow into each other, which would be too hard for a beginner and still not very challenging to non-beginners.

Summary: A GOOD PLACE TO START!
Comment: I wanted to get started with yoga, and went to my first yoga class. It was an hour of very strenous exercise, and some embarrasingly clumsy attempts on my part. Then I saw yoga videos at the local health food store, and thought "Hey, I could try this at home -- without an audience." I bought two yoga videos on Amazon, this was one of them. This is a great place to start. Megan Garcia is very sweet and upbeat, and the exercises are gentle. I still come back to this video twice a week, when I need a gentler routine. The whole set of poses takes 28 minutes. Anyone who is motivated can find 28 minutes in their day! Go for it!

Summary: Enjoyable
Comment: This is a good product for light, body compatible Yoga. Be warned if you have trouble getting on your knees, it isn't for you. You do spend a good time down on the floor. The instructor is informative and easy to follow. I really enjoy this DVD.

Summary: Not for anyone with even a little yoga experience
Comment: I a real yoga neophyte (< 6 months 1 X weekly class) but I found this disk not at all challenging. I was hoping for something that would supplement the weekly class. This doesn't do it.
