Certified instructor description: Each workout features a different relaxation technique: yoga, tai chi or meditation. It's a comprehensive series that lets you discover the stress-reduction method that works best for you. The yoga program is led by Suzanne Deason and filmed on a quiet beach. It uses poses specifically selected to minimize tension and increase flexibility. The tai chi workout is led by David Dorian Ross and is filmed in the Arizona desert. It utilizes slow, gentle movements that focus on balance and mindfulness. The seated meditation program features peaceful outdoor scenes like clouds and waves. It emphasizes mental calmness and thoughtful breathing ("let your mind be absorbed into your breath"). A yoga block is optional. ©2011. Previously released on VHS in 2000-2002.

Relax & Restore

Wonderful :)

This video is absolutely fantastic! I loved it from start to end. My boyfriend also did the lower body chi segment with me and he had fun also! Thanks so much, keep up the good work! - posted by Lara on 1/26/2012

Good

I really love the yoga workout on this, and wish it was a lot longer. The setting is gorgeous (Maui, at sunset), and the yoga is relaxing with a good flow. I've been trying to get into meditation for awhile, but am never successful on my own. That portion of the DVD is useful for me, and the time flies by. - posted by Jamie on 10/13/2011

Purchased for meditation purposes

I enjoyed the meditation and yoga portion of this DVD. I'm not a big fan of Thai Chi, so I really can't make a comment on that portion of the tape. I liked the yoga because it wasn't too long and it felt good. - posted by Kirsten on 10/8/2011

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.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Athletic: Traditional sports-style, all-physical stretches. It is the least mind-body focused.

Yoga: Carefully designed poses that emphasize breath, concentration and mental awareness. It also includes the more flowing yoga style – Power Yoga.

Tai Chi: All-standing, very fluid poses (it looks like a person moving in slow-motion). The Chinese called Tai Chi "meditation in motion."

Stretch: Yoga

Definition: A flowing series of movements and "poses." Includes yoga and power yoga (a more intense yoga variation). Both types have a strong emphasis on breath, body awareness and mental focus.
