"I purchased this DVD as a beginner to yoga. The instructor's directions are clear and helpful. The feature that allows you to receive more instruction with the poses is a great help for this beginner.
Nicki Doane uses a very monotone voice throughout the series of poses, which I find irritating instead of relaxing. Also, the sun salutation poses do require at least a moderate level of flexibility, which I do not yet have. Overall, I do like this DVD and will continue to use it several times a week. I do feel that the poses will get easier with more practice and patience!

"Wonderful foundation for Ashtanga practice. Even though she only went through sun salutations and some standing poses this is a difficult workout, and is a great building block for the rest of the series."
