I know that a lot of people were disappointed in Yoga Sculpt. I think that a lot of that may have been because of the title of the video. "Yoga Sculpt" is really a misnomer. This video is a more athletic (as opposed to spiritual) approach to yoga, and it is also not really intense enough to help with any major sculpting. It's almost like a watered-down power yoga tape. I am lukewarm about this video. It will never become one of my favorites, but I can see myself using it. Sometimes I feel like I don't have the mental focus to do an out-and-out yoga tape, and Yoga Sculpt would probably be good for times like those. I do like the ab and the back work. One reason that I don't think I'll trade this video is that I really enjoy the music. Karen uses a classical track during part of the workout, and I especially enjoy Clair de Lune.

I'd have to say that I do prefer the second half of Streamline Fitness (the abs and the yoga stretch) to Yoga Sculpt. However, I do enjoy this one as an add-on to a cardio workout. It will give you a decent ab and back workout, as well as a fairly thorough stretch.

Instructor Comments:
Karen Voight is similar in Yoga Sculpt to how she is in her other videos. When you buy one of her videos, you know that you're going to get a no-nonsense approach to whatever exercise you're doing. That may suit some types of workouts better than others. As always, she looks fantastic!
