Best Yoga Workout Ever! - Rating: 5/5
Finally someone got it right. I have about a dozen yoga DVD's at home and this is by far the best. Bethany Lyons really takes you through all the steps for a great workout. She is a great teacher and brings a whole new concept and energy to my Yoga workout. I can't wait for her next one.
Very good :-> - Rating: 5/5
I'm really getting the hang of Yoga now; I never really liked it before until recently and this is another great workout to add to my fast growing collection of Yoga workouts. I like Crunch and guessed that this might be another good dvd and luckily I was right.
It is more geared for the beginner to intermediate, so I found it non-intimidating and not so hard to do. Bethany is a good instructor and she's friendly and encouraging. She lets you know that it's OK if you don't quite get the moves down perfectly - there are options if need be. I find that very appealing because I sometimes feel like I HAVE to get it right and her saying that, makes me relax more. It's a workout more geared towards core and lower-body, and you get a fantastic stretch at the end.
If you normally would pass on Yoga, do give this a try. I always found it 'difficult' and while it isn't always easy, this is a great way to begin and before you know it, you'll find the moves easier and easier and then you'll be ready to try more difficult routines. This is definately a good place to start and I highly recommend it.
