Summary: Just as advertised...
Comment: Just as the title promises, this DVD is great for flexibility and stress release. After doing it, I feel calm, de-stressed and as though I have just had a great massage. The music and lovely tropical setting, with ducks and giant butterflies, adds to the soothing atmosphere.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: This isn't very good. Buy a different one. I didn't think it went smoothly. I think it was too long, and too segmented.

Summary: Excellent yoga dvd
Comment: This is one of the best yoga dvd's I own. Alan Finger has been practicing yoga since he was 13 and is a very good teacher. He focuses on breathing and form, and his prompts come at the appropriate time so you can follow the moves easily. I own several yoga zone dvd's and think they are among the best for real yoga. I'm a beginner at yoga, and I think the beginning and intermediate levels are appropriately named. The poses are moved through slowly and thoroughly, and he encourages you to push but not strain yourself, to work at your level. One assistant performs the poses fully, while another performs them at a limited level for those who are less flexible or have physical problems.

Summary: a really good intermediate yoga workout
Comment: I enjoy doing this yoga tremendously. It's perfect for days when I want a real workout but one that's gentle at the same time. Alan Finger does a wonderful job of integrating the spiritual side of yoga, which often gets left behind in many teachers presentations. His corpse pose is one of the best I've ever done.

Summary: Impressed Again by Yoga Zone
Comment: I purchased several other Yoga Zone DVDs before disccovering those with Alan Finger conducting the practice, and found them excellent. Alan Finger's sessions, which include meditation, did not disappoint. Beginners and experienced practitioners alike will find Alan's instruction easy to follow and extremely informative. One of the "hazards" of gaining experience is the tendency to get sloppy in poses. It never hurts to be reminded -- esp of alignment or proper breathing technique. At 60 minutes, this practice is just the right length, and again (as in my Power Yoga review) reflects what you would experience in a yoga studio class. I loved the Chakra meditation -- found it very soothing and inspiring to imagine the different energy centers of the body being energized while I "let go" in Corpse Pose. Alan also includes a bit of OM chanting at the end, something not inlcuded on the other Yoga Zone DVDs I've tried. Admittedly, this type of meditation may not be for everyone. But after practicing for about a year, I've noticed that I'm the most "in the zone" after a practice that incorporates all of these elements. Try it yourself and see what you think!
