| Used | pricebuddy | Used, good These come from a 3 pack of DVDs so they are not factory sealed and not the same cover as the individual retail DVD. I'd like to say they are new, which they are, but the covers are slightly damaged. Most of the it is because of the way the DVD case was made. The case has a small groove to make it easy to open the DVD case. This groove creates a crease and sometimes a cut in the artwork which makes these New DVD cases look used. This groove and cut sometimes extend to the plastic cover of the DVD. I have a bunch of these so the degree of damage varies. Some you can barely tell and the others are really not a big deal. All in all this is a great buy for someone looking to buy the DVD for themself. The actual DVD is brand new and never been played, owned, or touched by anyone. If you have this DVD with others on a shelf, you'll never know the difference. Because these are from a box set, there is a clean hole punch over the SKU. It's only on the label and not on the case.

Movie Reviews of Yoga For Every Body (With Over 35 Routines)
Movie Review: Nobody's perfect, but this is a high quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
It is interesting to read what other people have said about this DVD. I agree with some of the comments from reviewers who have given it fewer stars but I gave it five stars because I use it a lot and because I think it deserves a five star rating for being a highest quality presentation and very useful. I do not recommend it for rank beginners. Anyone interested in yoga should try to take a class or workshop from a certified instructor and not just rely on videos. If you do teach yourself from videos though, get several. Living Arts (now known as Gaiam) has some good ones. This DVD is a good supplement to a do-at-home yoga regime.
You can use this video for short or long programs. It's easy to select a program. Some of them target specific areas of the body (for example neck, arms and abs, spine, feet, hands, legs and hips). There are a lot of different postures covered in the video, some I've never seen anywhere such as hand or eye or feet exercises and, one of my favorites, the seven easy pieces. This DVD has headstands on it which none of my other ones do. There are lots of seated, stretching postures and standing postures. Sun salute, moon salute, and heroes sequence are covered, but only gone through once on each side. You can repeat them if you're quick with the remote, though, and don't mind hearing all of the same instructions over again.
There are a couple of meditation segments that she talks you through. These are kind of nice if you don't mind being talked to during meditation. Also there are special exercise sequences for "that time of the month" which is a pleasant feature.
There aren't many instructions about breathing. If you are a beginner you probably won't miss them. I may get shouted out of the yoga community for seeming to suggest that correct breathing isn't an essential part of yoga; shout away. People will breathe anyway. Anyone familiar with yoga will know how to breathe. So, this video doesn't cover breathing well.
Be warned. Some of the reviewers have said that you could hurt your back. They are telling the truth, but you can hurt your back from every single yoga video out there if you try to copy the demonstrator. The instructor on this video tells you with her voice how far to go. Maybe she could scream and shout to make it a little clearer, but we do have brains of own . . .
You don't have to watch the disclaimer that shows up after you've selected your workout. Just press the "next" button on your remote. Practice using your remote with this DVD because you will find that you can skip a posture and repeat a posture, but once it has passed to the next one you can't go back to it.
Main weaknesses as far as I'm concerned: relaxation poses at the end are too short and she talks through them. I don't like that, but when she's done there's a music loop that's fairly long (for a loop) you can use to relax in peace a little longer. I wish there was a printed copy of what's in each program because it isn't always easy to remember where some of my favorites are. You'll have the DVD a long time, though, so you will eventually become familiar with the names of your favorite programs.
