4.0 / 5.0
I have been doing yoga for about 4 years--first with an instructor, and also with videos when I can't get to class. This is a good intermediate flow workout--challenging but adaptable for different levels.

2.0 / 5.0
Yoga moves are fast paced and do not allow enough time for followers to complete their moves. The Instructor seems in a world of his own. It sounds like a military regimen and the instructions are barked out at a frantic pace. Its very frustrating to try this routine. I copnsider it a waste of money. Yoga should allow for calm breathing during moves. This DVD does not allow for that.

This workout moves way too quickly, hardly for a beginner. If you don't know the basic moves you will be totally lost. Even if you do it is difficult. I hurt after this work-out. I don't recommend this DVD. I wanted a DVD that would be a little more fast-paced than some other yoga I've done but this was awful. Don't buy it.

If you like vinyasa - fast-paced and challenging - yoga, this is a great dvd. It is a good intermediate level workout. It is one of the few yoga DVDs I have seen that is actually interesting to do... I usually end up going to class instead!

5.0 / 5.0
I love this workout. I ride bikes a lot and this helps me stay loose from day to day. I could do it every morning but no single workout does it all so I rotate through other workouts. It is not easy but very doable. No advanced moves like balances or arms/headstands are on this DVD. It took me two attempts to finish. Now I can do it without being too tired. The music is soothing as is his instruction.Half the workout is a standing series of flows and the second portion is more floor stretches and hip openers.I would give it 6 stars.
