This workout is done outdoors by a pool with a scenic backdrop. Lisa and Charles alternate doing the three sections and the person not doing the moves does the voiceover describing the moves. Overall, it is a very gentle workout.

I was drawn to it because I have gotten into stretching in the past year. One of my most problematic areas is my neck and shoulders, where I carry a lot of tension. I read that this workout addressed those areas. And, boy, DID it. My neck and shoulders felt wonderful and relaxed after the first section. The other two sections didn’t give me as much benefit as they did not address specific problems, but they were relaxing.

I decided, however, not to keep this workout because of the high level of “mind-body connection” talk. It was just too New Agey, or something, for me. Keep in mind that I am not a yoga person; I just do a couple of yoga workouts that give me stretches that relax me and I have a couple of beginner-level yoga workouts that I use periodically.

I think anyone already into yoga would find this workout very easy. Someone who wants a gentle, stretch type workout t address specific problem areas in their body may enjoy this workout. It is a hard one to classify.

One comment about the DVD: In the descriptions, this workout was described as having three sections, and it does. However, on the DVD menu, it lists all the moves individually, not the sections. So, for example, you would need to know that the first five moves comprise the first section in order to move directly to the second section. It means, however, that you can skip over any individual move you don’t want to do because each move is a separate chapter point.

Instructor Comments:
They are very calm and deliberate in their moves and descriptions.
