Product Description

""Upbeat, athletic-style yoga class of basic standing and floor postures."" Shape Magazine Two complete yoga workouts led by a friendly, down-to-earth instructor. They both feature a medley of classic yoga poses (e.g. downward facing dog, plank, warrior, cobra, triangle and mountain pose) ""Joy of Yoga"" provides the improved flexibility and relaxation benefits of traditional yoga without the intimidating attitude. Sara's unusually laid-back style makes it unusually easy to do (e.g. ""if your knees are doing this, just flop them out"" or ""now just kinda wiggle your fingers""). Her emphasis is always on enjoying the movement, not perfecting each one. It has more energetic, upbeat music than most yoga videos. The second program, ""Fat Burning Yoga,"" also features classic yoga moves. Sara's solid cuing and non-mystical style makes it an effective and exceptionally yoga workout. And by helping you achieve a balanced lifestyle and a deeper body-awareness, it provides a key element in weight-loss success (but it's really too slow to immediately burn much fat...). It ends with a short, but intense, segment of traditional ab-focused floorwork. Bright, colorful, airy set. ©1997 & 2001. (80 min.). Note: VHS version is only the ""Fat Burning"" program; it does not include ""Joy of Yoga."" Amazon.com description

This DVD was my introduction to yoga. I always thought it would be too boring and not give me the workout I was looking for, but I was completely wrong! I love both of the workouts on this DVD. The Fat Burning Yoga is probably my favorite though. Sara Ivanhoe's voice is very calm and soothing. The workouts also offer the beginner variation, which is helpful on some of the poses.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this DVD to anybody looking for a great workout, looking to try something new, or looking to increase flexibility.

This yoga workout is awesome, i've had it before on VHS, wanted it on DVD...and it's cool that this has two yoga videos in one, I havn't done the other one yet, but it's crunch fitness so i'm sure it's good too.

I simply love this workout! I have been practicing yoga on and off for more than 15 years and this workout left me feeling fresh lively. I could feel that my body was working hard! Thanks for a great yoga DVD - I liked the presentation of the trainer and the details and tipos she provided about breathing is very helpful. I would surely recommend this to any friend.

Cunch Perfect Yoga DVD has 2 workouts that are good for people of any level. The 30 minute length of each make them easy to squeeze into busy days, while still getting a good yoga workout. The only complaint I would have is that as an intermediate level person, the fluffy beginner level explanations throughout workout 1 were a little irritating (things like, "Now we'll go into down dog, I know it's a funny name for a pose but in yoga a lot of poses tend to be named after animals." Other than that, they are good workouts for any level in a pinch and I will definitely keep this one in my collection.

I can't begin to say how much I enjoy this DVD. I do it at least three times a week and it never gets old. I particularly enjoy the pace of the Fat Burning Yoga segment. I find the Joy of Yoga segment to be challenging, yet calming. Sara Ivanhoe is really on-point with her instruction. Her cuing is flawless and her delivery is calm and relaxing yet encouraging. The are appropriate modifications and the background music is not distracting at all. I would readily recommend this DVD to anyone beginning a yoga practice. It's an accessible and wonderful introduction to the practice of yoga.
