Yoga Mind and Body

This was a surprise video for me. When I first viewed it I didn't think I was going to like it at all. I didn't like the chanting music at the beginning or the monotone-like voice of the instructor, but the more I do this video the more I really like and enjoy doing it. The scenery is gorgeous, mostly blue and white and I like the music with the exception of the chants (or moans or whatever they are), the music seems to flow with the poses. I really is not only yoga for the body, but also for the mind. I found myself to be very relaxed and energized and even though I am not very flexible, the instructor tells you enjoy the process and only go as far as you are comfortable. I like the flow of the poses and found they moved slightly quicker than Kathy Smith's New Yoga tape which I thought was too slow for me. I try to do this tape at least one a week but I feel so good after doing it, I would like to use it more often.

Instructor Comments:
You can tell he is a master of Yoga and I find his voice calming (although I didn't think so when I first viewed this tape). Everyone in the video has perfect form on each of the poses.
