This was an early Christmas present for me and I really like it. It is so different from every other tape I have. While I agree that if you are regularly doing yoga already this may not be much of a challenge, if you aren't, it will be. And, while it incorporates some yoga moves, it's not yoga so it may be more appealing to people who have tried yoga and not liked it. If I had to describe it, I'd say it was sort of dance/yoga inspired (maybe pilates but I've never done that) but I think more approachable than yoga.

Having taken ballet for many years up through college, I found that there were a lot of familiar moves, which is not surprising considering Kari's ballet background. I found the tape very relaxing but also found myself using muscles in a completely different way, which is what she intended.

This tape will definitely have a place in my rotation. It doesn't totally relax me, like some of my yoga tapes, and it's not a tough strenth workout - but I think it would be a great tape to do once a week to challenge my muscles in a different way, and to get some added flexibility training.

Oh, and I love the music!

Instructor Comments:
Kari is encouraging, as usual, and very low-key and relaxing on this tape. Her form pointers are good and she goes at a good pace.
