I bought Penny Smith's Power Yoga Video, as it was advertised on GMTV and looked good, I like Penny as she is a real person and not stick thin, so I thought I would give it a go. I have a spine condition and knew that Yoga involves stretching and keeping you supple.

I felt without having Anton right next to you in your lounge you were courting disaster in the injury stakes. If you did this video and were just slightly out with your posture, you could really do some damage to yourself.
I think the video should be promted to those who already do Yoga and maybe have a warning on it "Not for Beginners" or someone is going to hurt themselves.

Advantages: A great all-over body workout Disadvantages: Not for beginners
