I think this is one of the best yoga tapes available. It's about an hour long. It starts with a breathing exercise which can be relaxing, but I usually want to get started so I often skip the breathing. This tape has a good mixture and progression of postures and I always feel thoroughly energized and relaxed when I finish. It also has the longest and best relaxation of any of the tapes I've done. I'm at about the same level that the instructor shows (probably intermediate) so I just do pretty much what she does, but more advanced modifications are often shown.p> I got married two years ago (for the first time at age 45!) and the morning of the wedding, I was so nervous, I was hyperventilating. I did this tape and it really helped to calm me down.

These instructors have also produced another tape called "Aerobic Yoga: The Flow Series" and it's also good, but definitely more aerobic.

TOTAL yoga is available in most stores (Target, Media Play, Suncoast, etc.) for about $10 so maybe some people think it wouldn't be very good because it's so cheap. Definitely not so. Production is very good as well.

This is definitely one of my favorite yoga tapes. I do it and Kathy Smith's New Yoga the most consistently.

Instructor Comments:
This is mostly taught solo by Tracey Rich, but occasionally Ganga White is shown doing a modification (usually advanced). Tracey Rich has a soothing voice and explains the postures very thoroughly.
