 Not yoga July 26, 2010
Amanda
This video is not yoga. There is no focus on breath, a yoga video should explain when to inhale and exhale in sync with the poses. He does not use the yoga terms associated with a lot of the poses, which will not help you when you go to a yoga class. There is no focus on spirituality and relaxation. I only did the first workout, so I can't comment whether they get any better.
Bob is obnoxious as a yoga instructor. This isn't an aerobic workout, I could do without all the pumping up..."Your arms will look just like this!","You are going to be burning fat!" He talks too much and doesn't help you understand how to do the poses well...or how to modify the poses based on your skill level. He doesn't mention using blocks for beginners. For example, he brings you into extended side angle (without telling you the name) and then tells you to put your hand flat on the floor, which is a more advanced version of the pose. He does the same with side plank...tells you to stack your heels, which is pretty hard for a beginner. It's easy to hurt yourself without good instruction.
It's also not helpful to be watching people who don't know how to do the poses correctly. If you copy the people in the video, you will be doing the poses wrong.
Pass on this one.
 LOVE this yoga workout! July 22, 2010

Bob Harper has done it again with this yoga workout!
I am an avid yoga fan and have practiced yoga for a few years. I'm always looking for a yoga workout I can grow with as well as a yoga workout that makes me feel great. This is it.
I really like that you can customize this workout by adding a warm up, levels 1-3 and a cool down to make it your own workout. My recommendation is to start with the level 1 yoga practice, as it definitely offers a challenge, unless you are already a yogi. But for everyone else, start with level 1 and grow with the yoga practice from there.
I also like that Bob has some of the "students" show modifications as well. There are 3 who do the modified versions of the poses, which is great. Or, if you're up for a challenge, follow Ali an Bill all the way through.
I have found that, after working with this yoga workout, I am much more flexible, able to go deeper in to the poses and find a great deal of satisfaction with this workout and yoga practice.
Also, I am a type II diabetic and anything that keeps me moving, motivated, and managing my diabetes, without medication, is a hit for me!
Thank you Bob and BL cast for this awesome yoga DVD!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!

I wanted a yoga workout to change up my exercise routine a bit. And I specifically wanted a DVD with good instruction for a beginners a long with a trust worthy trainer. This fits the bill!
I love that you can select and mix which work outs you do, with the time each takes indicated. It makes exercise easier to do on a busy schedule.
 Just like my yoga class May 20, 2010

Pretty basic moves- definitely makes me sweat though. I have only done levels 1 and 2, which are for beginners. This DVD is very much like a yoga class I had taken in the past. I really enjoy this DVD.

This customizeable workout will make you sweat. The DVD is good for beginners and experts alike. There are enough Big Losers on the DVD so beginner modifications and expert modifications are depicted with each exercise. I have been using this DVD for about 2 months now and have lost 3" around the waist, 2" on biceps, and 4" on my thighs.
