I just traded this video away and thought I should put my two cents in. I liked the fact that Karen holds the stretches long enough to increase flexibility, but some of the stretches I couldn't even feel. The ones I do feel are ones I already incorporate after working out (hamstring, hip flexor, etc). I have several yoga videos, and they seem to give me a deeper stretch especially in the side stretches (like Karen does while standing). One of my favorite yoga stretches is a lying spinal twist. The way Karen does it bothers my lower back instead of stretching my outer hip as it's supposed to. I tried following her exact positioning, but to no avail. Alot of this video is good (music, instruction, long stretches), but I still find myself bored with most of the stretches, and wishing I was just doing my own stretch.

Instructor Comments:
I agree with others that Karen instructs well in this video. She has a soothing, calm manner that helps you relax during the stretches.
