This video did wonders for me. I have other yoga videos that I like very much. But this video is far superior. The scenery is breathtaking, the music mystical and entrancing. The workout is a perfect length. The poses are challenging but not impossible and flow with a wonderful grace. I had been struggling with the tree pose and in this video Erich Shiffman says something like "if you sway that's all right. Trees sway...". That really helped me not to be discouraged and as a result I have come a long way with my balance. Yoga, Mind and Body just makes you want to do yoga and Ali Macgraw and the other participants have such good form and look so beautiful doing yoga that it is really inspirational. While I wouldn't say this video is for the absolute beginner, it certainly is one to grow in to.

Instructor Comments:
Erich Schiffman's voice is even and calm. Some people here have commented that his voice is monotone and while this is true to a large extent, it seems to go so perfectly with this video. He gives excellent instructions that flow so well that they don't seem to be instructions at all because they aren't distracting or confusing and simply blend with the rhythm of the poses.
