Total Yoga

Ganga White, Tracey Rich
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Yoga


Total Yoga is the perfect name for this video. This practice session has more variety than any other yoga tape I currently own. I like that it has different poses than most I've tried, and it makes my back feel great when I'm done.

Total Yoga is long (70 minutes) with a breathing session and long relaxation at the end. It has no frills, so it isn't for everyone. No backdrop & there is little music, which is more like soft sounds and isn't always present. You can often find this for sale used for $3-$5 due to this, I believe. I've seen it in stores for $8, a good bargain for the length of the tape.

There are sun salutations, but not the typical boring kind. Each one is unique. Also, not only your hamstrings get stretched, but the quads and glues with pigeon pose, pose of the dancer(?), boat, and when you do downward dog with a leg behind you in the air. There are many more, as noted in previous reviews. I even feel stretched out in my arms, unlike other yoga videos.

I highly recommend it & would also like to see this video become a VF Favorite.

Instructor Comments:
She has a really nice voice & shows excellent form. Ganga's voice interrupts occasionally, which breaks the feel of Tracey's more soothing voice-over.
