Crunch: Yoga Body Sculpt |
  review from a grandma |
| I'm 62 and have been using collage video for years. Love the Crunch series. This one is a bit fast for me. The other Crunch yoga videos are more my speed. - posted by joyce on 12/8/2011 |

| great instructor |
| I am fairly new to yoga....this workout really helped me do the more basic moves and work my way to the advanced. The instructor is clear and concise with her words and moves. i was pleasantly surprised to feel a good soreness after doing yoga! My flexIbility and balance have improved as well as my strength. There is another individual doing the basic moves so you can start there and work your way to the more advanced. Delightful workout. Results happen with a more toned, flexible and balanced body. 5 stars. - posted by nurse4141 on 5/17/2011 |

| Bad & unhelpful camera angle |
| Why on earth would a yoga video be shot looking straight at the instructor and participants with them facing toward the camera so that you almost never get a side view of how the pose should look from the side for proper posture and with modifications? This seems a bit idiotic. The closest they come to getting a good angle is the rare pan where you are looking almost diagonally at the instructor. If you are a beginner, I don't recommend this at all because form is everything and it's very hard to tell form from the angle they've shot this. If you're not fairly new to yoga, then maybe you can do without a proper angel. Overall, it's a good beginners video with a variety of poses that a few other beginners workouts do not have. I haven't decided if I'm returning it but I likely will because I can't stand that it was shot from an angle that I cannot see proper form. It's like facing the wrong was in a yoga studio, away from the mirrors and instructors. Who would do that? Actually, I just made up my mind. It's going back. - posted by Ariel on 4/11/2011 |

| Good for Beginners |
| I am a beginner at yoga, and I found this workout to be excellent. The cues are clear, and it doesn't move so fast I can't keep up. I certainly don't do every move perfectly, but each time I do the workout, I get better. The last 9 or 10 minutes are a very good stretching sequence. - posted by Pat on 3/6/2011 |

| Do-able even if you're overweight! |
| This is the 2nd yoga video for beginners I have tried and it was the best. It was great for beginners. I could actually participate. I am very overweight and inflexible, so it was nice to be able to actually do the moves (most of them). It was hard on my wrists at first, but I just kept at it, and after a week, I can almost make it through the entire video.. not with as much grace as the ladies on the video, but it still feels like a great accomplishment. So I recommend this to anyone of any shape, size, or form... and just say... persevere! You can do it! Thanks Collage Video for having such a variety to choose from. - posted by Sherri on 2/24/2011 |

| One of My Favorite Yoga DVDs |
| I love Bethany (the instructor); this is one of my favorite yoga workouts. It is perfect for a good stretch after an intense kettlebell routine or lengthy cardio. I appreciate her enthusiasm and the poses are good. I will look for more of her workouts. - posted by Anita on 3/24/2010 |

| Not a keeper |
| I ordered this DVD because of a favorable magazine review. However I found it to be TOO EASY! I really enjoy yoga but with a one year old at home I don't usually get the quiet that I like to pop in a yoga DVD. Sometimes after not doing yoga for a while I will feel particularly challenged holding the poses & I can usually really feel the stretches. Not so much while doing this. If you want to tone your legs & butt don't do this one. Try Yoga Sculpt with Karen Voight. It is really good. This hurt my knees as well. If you want relaxation and no challenge this will work. I sent it back. - posted by Melissa on 9/15/2009 |

| I Like It |
| I have tons of yoga DVDs, and power yoga is favorite. This is really enjoyable-challenging without being impossible, and the instructor is very friendly. I like the 40 minute length, because I can't always fit an hour of yoga into my day. - posted by Jamie on 7/30/2009 |

| the single best yoga workout I have ever done |
| I love yoga; yoga doesn't love me. I have fibromyalgia, and I find that most classes really HURT my hands, wrists, shoulders. This DVD was perfect for me. The down-dogs are spaced out; likewise the planks. Very well-sequenced, great pacing. I enjoyed the 'crunch' feel, recognizing some of the class participants from other DVDs. The music is enjoyable but not intrusive; the 'crunch' fitness studio familiar. For me, this is a perfect all-levels workout (beginner modifications shown). Thank you Collage, for bringing this workout into my life. - posted by Bertha on 6/20/2009 |

| I Will Definitely Do This Workout Again |
| I work out regularly (5+ days a week), but usually stick to cardio and muscle toning excercises. I have attempted to get into yoga numerous times, but have been bored by every other attempt. Bethany's instruction is a nice blend of relaxation and upbeat attitude which will get me to do the workout again. Even though this exercise is rated a begin/inter level, I did feel some burn too. I highly recommend the DVD to anyone trying to get into yoga. - posted by Maria on 5/14/2009 |
