Like the popular “Dummies” books, this is an exceptionally easy-to-follow and non-intimidating program. Sara Ivanhoe is a friendly instructor who keeps it relaxed and informal (“the cool thing about yoga is …”). First, you’ll learn a move with lots of careful explanation. Then, you’ll practice it a couple of times and then move on to the next position. This program is just slightly more intense than the “Dummies Yoga Basics” video. This workout features Sara’s “Daily Dozen” — 12 poses that range from easier classics like “triangle” and “warrior” to tougher moves like “wide leg standing forward bend.” It includes tips, cautions and modifications for more advanced positions (using a split-screen so you can see both levels at once). One-on-one teaching, quiet instrumental music. ©2002. Note: DVD includes a 15-minute “bonus” meditation segment. DVD has:
Chapter menus.

| Great for beginners, or relaxation |
| This video is not a workout tape where you'll sweat, nor is it a flow (vinyasa practice). It's a teaching of the basics. While I find Sara's voice soothing, the dummies format with interjections by another narrator can be annoying, even if it contains useful information. She advances somewhat over her first Yoga for Dummies tape, and introduces yoga breathing. I practice yoga regularly and still find her cueuing useful. Her Cow pose is still a challenge for me as is holding Upward Facing Dog for the length of time she perscribes. Otherwise it's deifinitely easier. I really like it when I brush up on technique or want to relax at the end of the day. - posted by MrD on 1/1/2004 |

| Only if you are really a beginner. |
| I did not like this video at all. It is yoga poses displayed and practised. No sun salutations, no flow. I was looking for a moderate vinyasa flow type yoga video, and this was a big disappointment. - posted by Diana on 4/7/2003 |

| Great Yoga Workout |
| This is a great yoga DVD. Unlike some of the others I own Sara does not rush through the poses but you hold them for "six full breaths". She describes the poses well and also includes modifications. The only thing I don't like is the "tips and hints". After doing the workout several times the "tips" get annoying and you just wish the woman would SHUT UP so you can concentrate and meditate while performing the poses. It would be great there was an alternative section where you could shut that woman up. But all in all this is a TERRIFIC yoga workout. And I love Sara Ivanhoe; she is the best instructor. - posted by Steph on 3/2/2003 |

| challenging but gentle |
| I LOVED the video! The instructor is fantastic and the poses flow from one to another. A few poses are quite challenging like the cow but you take it at your level(she gives you plenty of modifications) I would recomend this video to everybody! - posted by Jo on 1/27/2003 |
