This is a 1 hour mixed level practice. It is well made with a beautiful setting. (outdoors, Hawaii) The music is Hawaiian slack key guitar instrumental. You can choose to do the entire workout or just specific chapters. This dvd is well chaptered, as follows:

1. Intro

2. Breathing techniques: Here Michaelle goes over proper techniques to encourage proper yoga breathing

3. Basics & Inner Isometrics: quick chapter, very basic

4. Reclining Self Massage & Lower Body Warmups: This is a great chapter! She demonstrates self massage techniques, such as foot massages. This chapter also has great stretches for the lower body. (your hamstrings/quads will love this section)

5. Shoulder openers: poses used to enhance this area

6. Sun Salutations & Standing poses: This chapter includes many different poses. In most of the other chapters she is alone but in this one the scenes flash from her alone to her outside with a class (good sequence, no interruptions found)

7. Back Bends, Hip Openers

8. Shavasana


Again I like that you can pick and choose sequences based on your needs. (experiencing tight hamstrings, choose #4--hips tight, choose #7)
