Certified instructor description: Six complete programs — from traditional yoga to yoga-with- dumbbells and even yoga-on-a-stability-ball. Sara Ivanhoe’s knowledgeable, girl-next-door cuing is both motivating and encouraging. Each of the five 20-minute workouts has a different focus — from core strength to detoxification. Most of the poses are yoga classics like “triangle,” “chair,” “down dog” and “warrior.” But Sara also includes moves inspired by Pilates and weight training. All five workouts are filmed on a tranquil, oceanside setting. The 42-minute stability ball program is filmed indoors. It has a distinct muscle-toning emphasis, primarily working your abs and legs. Requires 1 to 3 lb. dumbbells and a stability ball. ©2006.

Sara Ivanhoe's Yoga Body Makeover

six workouts!-variety is so motivating!
Sara Ivanhoe is an excellent instructor. She gives gentle, complete instructions on how to move your body into and out of position and encourages you to do what you can - "nobody cares if you can reach your nose to your knees, just do what's right for you" - kind of instructions. The 20 minute length of each workout is absolutely perfect. I'm always surprised when it's over, yet I feel that my body is accomplishing important breathing, flexibility, stretching, and strength exercise. (Incidentally, I have a speckled background of doing Hatha Yoga-though it's not necessary, and I turned 60 last month, so if you have a similar background, believe me, you'll love this.) Thank you Sara! - posted by Rebecca on 4/19/2011
Like This One!
I have another disk by Sara and knew I liked her style. I have tried one of the routines and enjoyed it. She is easy to follow and puts together a good workout! - posted by Anne on 3/2/2011
Awesome trainer
Love this trainer. Sara Ivanhoe creating 20 minute segments is genius. Pick and choose one each day or night. Within 4 weeks of doing 20 minutes 4 days a week I see results. The trainer is positive and teaches like no other trainer I've practiced yoga with. LOVE IT! - posted by Lori on 2/3/2011
Sara Ivanhoe's Yoga Body Makeover
Great intermediate yoga...can be long or short...not too hard, but not too easy. - posted by Margaret on 1/27/2011
Enjoyable yoga
Short, easy to follow, you can modify to your level of fitness. Sara Ivanhoe is pleasant and effective yoga instructor. - posted by Julie on 12/6/2010
awesome
The only way to improve this video/cd would be to be in class with Sara, music is a little hokey but not annoying like some of the other dvd I have watched. - posted by Carole on 4/8/2010
Non-authentic yoga
I tried each of the 20 minute routines. I never did try the sixth one on the balance ball. So my review is just on the first 5. I loved them at first! I thought that it was a perfect short video that really gets you challenged and sweating. It was very efficient. She does, however, incorporate a lot of non-yoga moves into her routine. As my love and appreciation grew for yoga, I eventually wanted to engage in a more authentic yoga practice. - posted by Cher on 1/29/2010
Waste of time (sorry, Sarah!)
These workouts are too short! I didn't even feel like I got a workout when I did them; better to go for a 20 minute walk or hop on the elliptical if crunched for time. I just sold these DVDs. Most of the moves are unchallenging. I do like Sarah and these workouts might be good for the older exerciser who has been sedentary for some time or someone who has never exercised and wants to try yoga. There just isn't enough challenge for me. One pet peeve of mine is "WORKING SO HARD!" Definitely for a beginner. My six year old was very good at these. - posted by Melissa on 9/15/2009
Ok workout, Too much DVD clutter
I agree with Bonnie, although it is a good enough workout that I will hit the fast forward button. The cueing could be better... she had often moved on to another pose but I didn't know because I wasn't looking at the screen. - posted by Sharyn on 9/6/2009
Too Much Intro
This video has an introduction spiel at the beginning of each workout segment. So before you can go on to the next workout you have to hear the same thing over and over again. The video itself is OK, not too challenging. I'm returning it. - posted by Bonnie on 8/19/2009

Reading a Time Graph
X
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.
