Time graph for Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies

Sorry, this item is sold out.
It is no longer available for sale.

Certified instructor description:
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, Narrow screen.

Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies

mediocre

I absolutely do not like Sara Ivanhoe. She has made it so I have memorized the positions in the video and do them on my own, without watching the video. Good video for beginners. - posted by krysta on 1/29/2010

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

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Narrow screen

When played on a widescreen TV, this program will show black bars on the left and right sides. On an older 4x3 ratio TV, it will fill the entire screen.
