This DVD features 3 short yoga workouts. If you like Suzanne's other workouts, you will probably enjoy this one also. If you are more of a Power Yoga person, these yoga practices may not appeal to you. This series is supposed to be an add-on to her original Yoga for Weight Loss video. Like that video, the yoga doesn't have anything specifically to do with weight loss. It is more about the ability of yoga to help you connect your mind and body. The dvd includes a bonus interview where Suzanne talks about this. It all makes perfect sense to me, but there is nothing special about this yoga as opposed to any other yoga practices in terms of tapping into that benefit.

Suzanne gives good form descriptions (although no mirror cueing) and I like the way she leads a yoga workout. This workout is not as nice or as thorough as her hour long Yoga for Weight Loss, but it is nice to be able to get finished in 25 minutes. These workouts are beautifully produced.

Overall, there isn't anything super special about these workouts, I just personally like having a bit of variety. Also, I most often reach for SHORT yoga workouts, and these all clock in at under 30 minutes.

AM:
I like this routine because it has a lot of poses that stretch the lower body (lunge, triangle, side stretch, down dog, forward bends). The props in the video are just 2 blocks, but you really don't need them. It isn't radically different than Suzanne's other workouts, but I appreciate having the variety.


PM

This is a nice relaxing workout that gives me a nice 25 minute stretch. It has a little something for many areas of the body, but includes a lot of poses that will stretch your hamstrings. I find it similar to some of Suzanne's other short yoga workouts, but different enough for me.

Bonus - Breathwork:

A third short workout on the dvd that also works well for stretching. The purpose is supposed to be to focus on breath, but it doesn't seem different from any of Suzanne's other workouts in terms of focusing on the breath.
