I just reviewed this program and I had difficulty following along. This is because the the program is so slow and the narrator has such a calming voice that I kept yawning. There is narration throughout the entire program, had the narration stopped, I may have had a minute to calm my mind as the program encourages. This is a relaxing program, almost too relaxing.

The other distraction in this program is the use of bricks, blankets and a chair. The narration focuses a lot of time on these accessories. It would’ve been nice to have the narration give directions for people who choose to follow along without the accessories.

The overall program devotes a lot of time to holding certain positions and the narration talks through each interval of a position which could be annoying at times. The pace of the programs are a little too slow. Suzanne’s look could also be a distraction for some people. I’m still looking for a program that offers more varieties of positions.

I haven’t actually been able to do this workout yet–not because I haven’t wanted to because I have, but because YOU NEED TO HAVE YOGA BLOCKS TO DO IT. I don’t have those yoga blocks, so now I have to go pay more $$ for equipment. It doesn’t say anywhere on the DVD that you need any equipment. It’s really, really annoying because you should know what you need before you wake up at 5:30 AM and pop the DVD in thinking you’ll get a workout first thing.

when i purchased this dvd, i wasn’t sure what it would be like. . . the reviews were hit-or-miss. . . this only made me more curious about the product. . . well, i tried it and i like it. it has become a regular part of my lifestyle. . . it is easy to follow, it isn’t really difficult, but it does provide me with a sense of accomplishment (especially on those days when i don’t have a whole lot of energy but I still want to do something). suzanne deason is a wonderful instructor. she tries to make yoga accessible and enjoyable so that you want to keep doing it. i always feel balanced after doing this dvd.

I’m overweight, so I bought yoga for weightloss. Well, right at the beginning of the workout the instructor, who is not overweight, launches into several positions that I cannot do BECAUSE I AM OVERWEIGHT. I would have to be at close to a normal weight to fit myself into the positions she does.

What’s the point? I thought this might actually have positions I could do. I ejected the disc five minutes into it and added it to my coaster collection.

Thanks for nothing.
