This is my absolute favorite video (of all types.) I give it as a gift to my friends who are fit and flexible and like to exercise their minds, too. I love the music and desert setting. Even the cast and their outfits are soothing. I especially like seeing the older lady doing yoga so well -- it gives me something to aspire to.

The first time I did this, my back muscles were a bit sore in places I had never felt before (probably from "bow pose"), but after that, they haven't been sore again. I've definitely improved my flexibility and balance from doing this and my other yoga tapes. I feel incredible after I do it (the whole thing or in segments. It makes an excellent study break, or something to start the day with. I can understand how some people may not like the music, but it is very unusual and has a spiritual feel. I wish they would come out with a sequel or two for this!!

Instructor Comments:
Erich's voice is very soothing. I love how he says "get loooong" and "get rooooouuuund" "enjoy this part".

It's encouraging to see a man so flexible. I keep hoping my husband will see him doing it and want to join me in yoga!
