A.M. & P.M. Yoga Conditioning For Weight Loss (Deluxe DVD Edition)

I'd been thinking about trying yoga for awhile, since I no longer have the time (working full time plus school 4 nights a week) to go to the gym, and my health was suffering from the strenuous schedule and the stress, and the horrendous insomnia. I really wanted something that I could do at home, that wouldn't annoy me so much that I'd watch it once then sell it on Ebay. Also really needed something that I could do at night that wouldn't energize me so much that I'd be even MORE unable to sleep. After alot of shopping around(reading the back of every yoga video at Borders), I finally decided on this two pack set. What a lovely surprise! My favorite feature of this set is the voice-over technique - that is, she doesn't speak to you as she's doing the poses, but you hear her voice. I can't say enough about that. (I bought the Crunch Fat Burning Yoga tape, and was just too annoyed with the instructor talking all the way through it to get too far. Well, also, it's a little too advanced for me.) I'm definitely going to try to stick with videos with voice overs.The workouts are challenging for a beginner (downward facing dog can be daunting the first couple of times) but very relaxing, and she doesn't hold the poses so long that you feel stressed or get bored. I liked the flow of the tapes, although I still have some awkward transitions (I'm thinking I will get smoother as I get better.)I found it amazing that yoga could make me sore! As a former workout junkie (who is admittedly VERY out of shape since starting school), I need that day-after soreness to feel as though I've done something, and these tapes provide me with that.I would highly recommend this set to a beginner. It's relaxing, soothing, AND energizing and she really centers you with talk about softening your eyes, and breathing into the spread of your shoulders blades and the like. She cues your breathing very nicely, and always reminds you to engage your abs or widen your shoulders. She reminds you to experience the moment you're in, and to really feel your body.I can't say enough about these tapes. They've gotten me excited about yoga, and I'm definitely going to be collecting more tapes, and coming up with my own regime. I'm even starting to modify my eating habits a bit.Especially for the price, you canNOT beat this. Well, speaking from total ignorance, having bought this set and the Fat Burning! Decide upon your own grain of salt, but in my opinion: BUY IT! :)

My husband and I do the AM stretch 3 times a week before I get ready for work in the morning. I have never felt better in my life not have I ever felt this flexible and strong. It has also given me so much peace of mind in general. I am happier and calmer and less stressed. Anyone can do these stretches and alternate poses are given if you can't quite do a certain stretch. I love this DVD!! Could not live and be at so much peace without it.

At my age, I felt that I needed a workout that would provide me with an opportunity to perform more stretching and strengthening of my muscles. I felt that yoga would provide that. This yoga DVD is good because it provides a short, but a challenging workout. The scenery and music provides a very calming affect. I would recommend this to a friend.

THis CD has helped me incorporate yoga into my daily routine. It builds strength and is a quick 25 minute practice that you can adapt as your strength increases. I did this 3 times weekly for about a year while on a Weight Watchers and after losing 20 pounds, I could not believe the toned stomach muscles that I had. I love this practice and do it at least twice weekly now along with others and my weekly yoga class. Highly recommed for toning!!

This DVD has two pleasant and well-balanced yoga routines, but the "weight loss" is just a title and a couple of kind words in the introduction. If you have a limited amount of time and want to maximize pounds lost, this isn't the right choice for you.Also, be warned that you do need props (blocks and a strap) to do the poses as instructed.

The morning routine is just the right amount of stretching and strengthening. The evening one helps me wind down but also keep toned and in shape. I have been doing these for 6 months and have noticed a drop in dress size and my upper body is stronger. I gave my daughter in law this yoga tape and she also loves it.

I have been trying to find a replacement for an old yoga dvd that I found somewhere and lost when we moved. While this wasn't the one, I did enjoy Suzanne's calming voice and and move prompts.

When life is hectic and schedules are full, we often forget we need balance and health is key. I ordered this DVD on a friend's recommendation and would in turn, recommend it to anyone looking to breathe easier, feel better, achieve greater flexibility, core strengthening, inner peace, in their lives....a few minutes a day am and/or pm, works wonders, and this is the best of DVD's for all levels.

The setting is nice with the sea in the background, the voiveover is OK and good with breathing advice, but the workout is quite short and a bit too relaxing, I thought it would be a bit more dynamic for weight loss. The workout also doesnt include a sun salutation. Good value though and I will use it occasionally; going to buy another more dynamic yoga dvd to supplement it though.

I have several of Suzanne Deason's yoga dvd's. They are excellent and beautifully filmed to create a lovely atmosphere in your home when doing yoga. Suzanne is an inspiring teacher and I look forward to the 'class' each day.

ヨガには昔から興味がありましたが、初めて買ってみました。初心者だし、朝晩できる分がいいので、これを選んでみました。マウイ島の景色をバックに、朝晩適度なヨガでストレッチができるので、結構気に入りました。話題のRodney　Yee先生の方も気になりましたが、Suzanne　Deason先生のこのDVDもなかなかと思います。またこのシリーズで買ってみようかなと思います。

きれいな場所で多角的にロケされているので見やすい。ただ、なぜか音が・・・？
