Movie Reviews of The Power of Hatha Yoga: Beginner Series

Movie Review: "beginner" hatha yoga review
Summary: 4 Stars

The description does not fit the video content. This was suppose be a beginners guide, but the exercise is a bit advance. Don't get me wrong it's a great DVD but my wife and I needed a dvd that was for TRUE beginners.
The poses were a bit advanced for us.

Movie Review: Relaxing
Summary: 4 Stars

I found this video to be very relaxing. I'm not nearly as flexible as he is but I made it work for me. Overall I think it was a great intro to yoga. A yoga video I REALLY like is Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss with Suzanne Deason. Not too hard, not too easy (because there are 4 people practicing different variations of each pose).Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss - Deluxe DVD Edition

Movie Review: good stuff
Summary: 5 Stars

As good as a yoga DVD can get... keeping in mind that it's difficult to get into position and then keep looking back at the TV.

Movie Review: Looking for relaxation
Summary: 4 Stars

I am 35 with two small children. With little free time, I don't exercise much. I wanted to try hatha yoga because I was reading a book on women and stress. The author suggested, among other things, to try hatha yoga. I needed to find something to help me relax and to start to exercise again. I have tried to start exercising again before, but I get discouraged that I get out of breath and can't seem to keep up with the models in top shape. Although I am not as limber as Naader Shagagi (I would assume most people are not!), I am able to do the yoga. The program did help me relax and my butt is firming up! I am now getting up in the morning to start my day out with yoga. I don't mind getting up because it is a relaxing way to start out the day compared to other exercise videos were I dreaded working out.

I thought the one downside of the video was that he did not tell you what to do if you could not do the pose. For example, there is a triangle pose where you need to bend over and touch the floor. What do you do if you can't reach the floor?

I would recommend this product!

Movie Review: pass
Summary: 2 Stars

I am pretty new to yoga but I already have a pretty good library of dvds. I thought this one offered a good variety of poses, it was a complete workout working on a mix of flexibility and strength. Some of it was a little difficult for a beginner cause he does not offer any modifications. He doesn't seem to practice yoga like anyone I have seen before either. When he moves into postures he bounces. He also over extends his knee on poses like proud warrior. I thought you were never suppose to do that. Most of my cd's are performed in beautiful locations, this one is in a studio. I personally feel the location adds a lot to the practice. Its very relaxing to be looking out at the beautiful beaches of Hawaii or the sands of Death Valley. He is not pleasant to look at or listen to. This was the most expensive dvd I have bought and the most cheaply made. Not worth the money.
