A workout that balances both the body and the mind can be foundin the Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies. Fundamental postures areexplained and demonstrated slowly with an emphasis on breathing andmotion. Sara Ivanhoe teaches 12 basic poses that are termed the 'dailydozen' and offers challenges and modifications to each of these moves.Ivanhoe presents these concepts in an approachable and calming mannerthat adds to the overall relaxed feeling that this session exudes.Newcomers to the practice of yoga will learn jargon, essentialpostures, and focusing techniques. Experienced participants may findsome information redundant, but Ivanhoe offers such thoroughexplanations about each posture that you can't help but expand yourexisting knowledge of yoga. As the mountain pose, standing forwardbend, and downward facing dog are explained (not to mention the nineother poses within the 'daily dozen'), proper body alignment becomesthe focus. Meticulous attention is given to the connection betweenbreathing and body movement with several reminders to keep the spine in'neutral alignment.' This session ranks great for safety and contentand makes yoga accessible to anyone who 'always wanted to, but neverdid.' This is a substantial program that can introduce the basics andbuild your understanding of yoga. --Olivia Voigts
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Ummm... Dummies.. No, VERY beginner? YES
This is a great addtion to the beginners library of yoga... however, after you've watched it more than 2 or 3 times you're going to be ready for something new. The teacher does an excellent job discribing the postures, however this may become TOO much once you're ready to start flowing in your postures. Being able to choose from the chapters what postures you want to work on at any given time is a great also. ASIN:B001DDY6RG TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION]]
Rating:  - Best for beginners
I borrowed this from the library because of the reviews stating it was so basic that you might only watch it a few times. I plan to buy it now though because it is so helpful to an absolute beginner like myself and the slower pace is more relaxing to me. I believe the Yoga for Dummies will better prepare me for the Yoga Journal DVDs which I also enjoy, but am not quite ready for yet.
I'd also mention that my eight year old loves to do this with me and asked me to purchase more of Sara ... Read More
Rating:  - Great tool for beginners
The best way to learn yoga would be in a class setting with an instructor there to guide you. This is second best! Sara does a great job of explaining what to do and what not to do. The tone remains light - you don't feel like you have to be perfect. One complaint would be that after you get comfortable with the poses in the first practice, you will likely find the detailed instructions slow the practice down too much.
Rating: - Easy, Simple, Fun
This is a great selection for those who are beginners. The host is fun, easy to follow, and very nice in personality. You won't be left behind or in the dark. She explains everything and you will know what you're doing before you begin. Very relaxing.
Rating: - Yoga for anyone!
I am more than 100 pounds overweight. In my desire to get into shape, I was searching for a gentle program to help me stretch and maintain flexibility. This DVD is perfect - the basic workout is slow paced, with plenty of instruction. If I can do it, anyone can! There is also an intermediate program that will challenge you and get the sweat going, as it is faster paced. I love it!
