Dynamic Yoga DVD

Advantages: Good for health
Disadvantages: Possibility of injury

...I started practising yoga last January. Geri yoga was the first yoga DVD that I brought, and it offered a good introduction to many of the yoga postures. The introduction is useful to learn the breathing, and principles behind yoga. For the first few weeks (and months) flexibility was a major obstacle. However, if you listen to your body, and only do as much as you can without pushing yourself, then your overall fitness level will improve from yoga. Last year, I was unable to do many of the postures. Through regular practice, I can now achieve all of the poses. After practising yoga about 2 or 3 times a week, I soon began to feel the difference. Never force your body to do anything in yoga, if it hurts then stop. If you don’t listen to your body you will cause yourself serious injuries. Yoga can be practised everyday. If you do...

Advantages: You gain a few tips for positions to try in birth
Disadvantages: Most of the dvd to be honest.

...With my first 2 children i didnt really do much exercise apart from alot of walking but now iam 18 weeks pregnant i decided i wanted to stay as fit as possible for the coming months. With this in mind i looked around the internet at different sites such as amazon and play.com for some good pregnancy workouts.

Advantages: Advanced positions, lovely scenery
Disadvantages: A bit boring

...I bought this DVD because it was on a "bargain bin" offer from Amazon and to be honest, I can understand why. It is a highly advanced DVD and should not be attempted by anybody who cannot wrap their legs around their head. Being Ashtanga yoga, the sequences are reasonably fast-paced, although not as fast as other DVDs I have used. It's obvious that these two are incredible yoga masters, and they take it in turns to narrate the positions to a backdrop of an Ibizan beach and soothing music. The DVD is divided up into segments: warm-up and the Sun Salutations, standing poses, and sitting poses. After the Sun Salutations, I tend to give up, and I've been doing yoga for several years. I doubt there are many people on this planet who can perform some of the eye-popping balancing acts as featured in the DVD, and those that can surely won... Read review
