Summary: Fabulous Yoga Video - Perfect Amt of Time - Gentle yet challenging
Comment: I absolutely love this video - so much so, that I have been through 3 copies from wearing them out. It is the only practice 1) i can fit into my schedule, it's the perfect length to make time for 2) that doesn't result in injury or aggravation of back/hip issues.
Says total content is over an hour - there's tips for using props etc, but I just go straight to Stress Relief Practice --> Gentle Stretch and then the rest of the core practice goes from there - total time is 20 minutes which is perfect for me.
I very highly recommend this video and can't say enough. It strengthens, stretches and relaxes. It is perfect for am or pm. love it!

Summary: I always recommend this practice as a good place for beginners to start
Comment: I have had this DVD for years and used it religiously for quite a while when I was first beginning yoga. I always recommend it for beginners who want to try yoga because the poses she uses are not too difficult, and she uses a brick and a strap (good for those who are not very flexible).
I still enjoy doing this DVD now, from time to time, and feel very relaxed and refreshed - although I find it is not challenging enough for me anymore. But if you are looking for a good introduction to yoga, I recommend this DVD highly. Another good DVD for beginners is AM/PM yoga with Rodney Yee and Patricia Waldon.

Summary: My all time fave!!
Comment: I first used this DVD 8 years ago and still use it to this day on a weekly basis! There's something very soothing about the background music and the sunset and the tempo. For me, it's great stress and tension relief for my shoulders and upper back, where I carry a lot of my stress. I think 20 min is PERFECT, especially for beginner's or right before bed or in the morning when you want to start your day out on a good note!

Summary: Great Pick-Me-Upper
Comment: I LOVE this one. It was my first video - my introduction - to yoga several years ago. As a beginner, it took me a while to get used to these new moves. As with anything else, it got easier with time and practice.
Fast forward several years and I still find myself reaching for this one. It's gentle, yet very effective, and I always get a good stretch out of it. It's also a great pick-me-upper in the middle of the day when I feel stiff from sitting at the computer for one too many hours. Being only approximately 18 minutes long I have NO excuse for not taking the time to do this.
The setting is beautiful and the music is relaxing. Suzanne does it at a very comfortable pace, though I wish she would hold child's pose a little longer. I've bought it for several friends who voiced a desire to try yoga. Great for everyone - beginners and experienced alike.

Summary: Useful Short Practice
Comment: This is a good 20-minute all-around practice, useful for squeezing in when you don't have much time for yoga practice. I've got where I prefer it to both the a.m. and p.m. videos in this same series.
It includes everything a good yoga practice should: a warm up, standing poses, twists, backbend, forward bends and relaxation. Emphasis on loosening the shoulders, and opening the lungs.
Naturally, in trying to include so much in such a short time, there are parts that feel a bit rushed, which is the video's main flaw. However, it's not so fast that I can't keep up. If I have a leisurely morning ahead of me, I will generally choose something else -- but I'm happy to have this for mornings that aren't.
