Erich Schiffmann, Ali McGraw
Year Released: 1994

Categories: Yoga


I don't have any problem with the yoga moves or instruction in this video. I also thought it was an excellent workout -- but I hated the music. The background music drove me nuts. The music varies from some sort of humming and chanting with drums to single drum beats. I found it very annoying. The music had no calming effects on me whatsoever. In fact, because of the music, I won't be doing this video again.

I like Kathy Smith's yoga tapes the best because she takes an athletic approach to yoga -- rather than a spiritual approach. This video takes a much more spiritual approach -- which really bothers me.

Instructor Comments:

Ali is just a participant in this video, with Erich Schiffman doing all the instructing. He does an excellent job of instruction and makes the moves very clear - so much so that I barely looked at the T.V. doing this video for the first time. He voice, however, is too monotone for me and fairly quiet.
