Movie Reviews of Karen Voight - YogaSculpt
Movie Review: awesome sculpting workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This video rocks! Once again, Karen Voight has made an entertaining and challenging video. I am an experienced exerciser and also a dancer. After doing this video, I felt stronger and more flexible. I definitely felt I got a workout!
I have now done this video three times. Each time, there have been sections that were almost too challenging for me to complete them. I appreciate that in a video, as I have room to grow. I look forward to the day where I can hold downward facing dog through the entire sequence.
This video requires no equipment except an optional sticky mat. It is really great for a road-warrior like myself.
This is a 45 minute video broken into two parts, yoga and a pilates-based abdominal workout. It also includes a stretch and a warmup, as all good videos should. The yoga section is no-nonsense and hard. I can see where this would sculpt your body. At the same time, it has an immense relaxing effect. The pilates section is a great challenge for my core muscles.
Movie Review: Nordstrom of Workout DVDs
Summary: 5 Stars
Karen's workouts will leave you refreshed and invigorated. Once I have completed this challenging video, I feel stretched, strengthened, toned and very peaceful.
If you are just starting out, be patient with yourself. Yoga will develop patience, character and strength. Think of each posture as a goal; by the third or fourth time, you may achieve what you see. This video is a combination of Pilates and Yoga.
Ordering a sticky mat is essential (information is included in pamphlets or amazon sells lots of yoga mats and even bags to carry them in...) so you don't injure your muscles by slipping on a carpeted surface.
Karen's calming voice leads you through the poses in her organized way. The music is very relaxing and almost makes this the Nordstrom of Yoga videos. I recommend walking for at least one half hour before attempting the stretching exercises. This helps to warm the muscles and allow for a deeper stretch.

Movie Review: Fantastic workout to challenge you
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned this DVD for a while now - for some reason I keep forgetting how much I enjoy it and it finds itself left on the shelf. Then I rediscover it and fall in love all over again.
This is a fantastic, challenging yoga/pilates workout. Karen's form and cueing are exceptional - she reminds you to place your weight here, push your foot there, bringing your own form and workout along in leaps and bounds. It will push you - some of the balancing poses will really force you to focus on stabilising your torso so you don't fall, and the warrior/triangle series really makes my legs shake.
The workout can be done as a whole, or you can choose from the 25 minute "Flow Series" or the 20 minute "Pilates/Yoga Matwork" section.
I would recommend this to those with some background knowledge of yoga; although Karen's instruction would probably allow a beginner to use proper form, I suspect it may be too challenging.
Movie Review: GREAT beginning yoga dvd. Great for achy backs.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT yoga dvd FOR PEOPLE WITH BAD BACKS. I feel better after doing this than going to the chiropractor. (My chiropractor didn't like it when I told him that). It is incredibly gentle and the flow of the stretches seem to be in the perfect order. It is much too easy for me now, but I use it whenever my back goes out. Which is only about once per year since I've been doing yoga. I recommend it to all of my friends.
Her ab section is good too. As with all of her videos, her instruction is great. She gives lots of rests so you don't lose your form. And if it's too easy, just skip the rests.
I now do Brian Kest's and Barone Baptist's videos... which I like.
One Warning. This workout is also on another one of Karen's DVD's... check out the other review. It's slightly confusing because the names seem to vary. You're better off buying the other and get a sculpting workout too.
Movie Review: BEST YOGA PRODUCT EVER! Karen is awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have never tried Yoga, this is THE DVD for you!
I had this video on VHS years ago, and was so sad when I lost it. Then I found it on Amazon a few years later, and I was so excited. I purchased it right away, and was very glad. I had forgotten how great of a work-out it is!
I work-out to this video a few times a week. It is a stress-relieving, simple work-out that only takes 45 minutes MAX. It is unlike any other yoga videos I have tried -- no matter how advanced you become (even years later), this routine will still kick your "patootie"! It is a full work-out for beginners or experts! I LOVE IT! It combines strength, yoga, stretching, balance and muscular development. Simply great!
Thanks Karen! You really know how to keep me in shape!
