This workout is easier than what I am looking for, but I was pleasantly impressed with both the instructor and some of the options on the DVD. The instructor, Natasha Rizopoulos, is one of those people who you just know must be a really nice person in real life. She also instructs very well. I would buy another workout of hers if she made one. The DVD has options for an instructional session, a 20-minute flowing yoga workout, the option to follow an assistant doing modifications, and my favorite – a medical commentary. The medical commentary is the regular workout, but with a voiceover from an MD who is talking about the benefits of the various poses and things to do/not do. You can actually do the workout with this option, but his voice does drown out some of Natasha’s instruction, so you’ll have to look at the TV a lot. Overall, I found this to be very well-done, even though it’s not what I’m looking for. If Yoga Journal comes out with an intermediate or advanced series, I’d by it in a heartbeat.
