The first time I tried to do this tape I ripped it out of the VCR after the first 5 minutes. After arranging to trade it, I went ahead and did it one more time, this time making it all the way through. I am not sorry I am trading it away.

The set is ok, although I kept waiting for all that gauzy fabric they draped in front of the banks of candles to catch on fire. A tad bit distracting. Beth's yoga mat is oriented sideways, which is not the norm in yoga videos. I found it somewhat problematic, because I had to keep turning my head to the side to see what she was doing on screen. And I had to do that a *lot* because the cuing was practically non-existent (and when not non-existent, it's unclear, or even wrong a couple of times.) The moves didn't flow particularly well, went too fast in some parts, and included odd things like this super speedy plank-updog-plank-pushup-updog-downdog series that made my back hurt just watching her. If you're looking for a short power yoga video, Baron Baptiste's Unlocking Athletic Power is, in my opinion, a much better tape.
