This has already been described in detail, so I'll just add my comments.

This is an *excellent* video! I'd been contemplating buying this for weeks, and I'm glad I finally did. In fact, it came in handy just days after I bought it, when I used too much weight or didn't use proper form - I developed a "crick" between my neck & my shoulder. I popped in this tape the day after this "crick" developed, & it lessened the strain.

This would be a great tape to do after a cardio or strength workout as well as on its own. In fact, with the insert you can just select the poses you want to do without having to do the entire the tape.

This tape is very soothing, it'll calm your nerves. I'm only a beginner with this type of yoga (I've done hatha yoga on & off - more off than on - for a few years), yet I felt I've increased my flexibility a bit & have strengthened my abs a bit just from the few times I've used this video.

If you're a beginner when it comes to yoga, but aren't sure you want all that mind-body stuff in a yoga tape (Alan Finger does stress proper breathing though), this video is for you!

What a GREAT tape & a GREAT instructor!

Instructor Comments:
Soothing, relaxing voice. Tells you at the beginning that yoga is non competitive & throughout the video that you should only go as far as your body tells you to. Excellent instructor, you can actually do most of the poses just by listening to his voice.
