Power Yoga: Fat Burner Review



I just got into doing yoga 3-4 times a week during the last 6 months, and I bought this and 2 other dvds to use while my teacher is on a summer retreat.

This workout is quite challenging, and always leaves my heart pounding and my entire body covered in sweat! Like the some of the other reviewers, I liked that Adrienne has a choice of a 20, 40, or 60 minute workout on the tape. I also like that the folks on the video all look like regular people and not like hardcore yogis (which is nice for someone like me who is trying to get back into shape!)

Even though Adrienne is a bit more like an aerobics instructor than a mellow yogi, I like the workouts that she has put together, and that she enhances a lot of traditional yoga positions with some other non-yoga movements to keep your heart rate going. This is definitely not for someone who hasn't worked out at all in a while, or who doesn't know any yoga at all--I think it would be way too challenging for a total novice to keep up with.

The things that I didn't like about this tape are that Adrienne doesn't participate in the workouts, but rather just walks around and directs her students. This isn't a bad thing, but since I'm always working on trying to improve my poses, I like to see people doing yoga who really know what they're doing.

In addition, for the first 5-8 minutes of the dvd, there are commercials for Adrienne's merchandise, and you cannot skip through it. That is EXTREMELY annoying, especially for someone who wants to use this tape many times.

The one weird thing about this tape is that in the "bonus features" section, you see Adrienne by herself in the studio, doing some advanced yoga positions, but it doesn't seem meant for you to follow along--she does it without talking and there's no explanation. It goes on for about 5 minutes and then just ends. Kind of strange, I think.




Power Yoga: Fat Burner Overview


Looking for a yoga workout that will shed those extra pounds and leave you not only looking but feeling great? Adrienne Reed's Fat Burner is the video for you!

great workout - C. Hernandez - Vancouver, WA, USA
This DVD includes 3 completely different workouts, each of them challenging in their own way. They all use sun salutes to warm up, but each workout uses it in a different way. I appreciated the creativity and the challenge. I like Adrienne Reed as an instructor because she is very straightforward, and describes each movement thoroughly, with good cueing before something new is about to happen. I am not into the meditative, chanting part of yoga, just a nice, hard workout, and I love this one.



Great workout - Joyflyer - Townville, SC
While I find the instructor mildly annoying, I LOVE this workout. She covers all parts of the body, so that you feel great afterward. I have a couple of her DVDs, along with several other instructors, that I rotate through. I am always happy when I get to this one.



Power yoga - Joseph L. Eversole - Chicago IL
Everything is perfect. I got exactly what i wanted. I would buy from again. Thanks



Power yoga fat burner - Melania Lopez - San José, Costa Rica
This video is just too fast-paced. I've done (and like) other power yoga videos which are not slow, but this is almost aerobics, no holding of any pose at any time.
You do break a sweat for sure though, but I'd rather then just go for a run...

Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Specialist Training

What should be included within a prenatal and postnatal Yoga teacher training? It is agreed that anyone, who decides to become a prenatal Yoga specialist, should be a competent and certified teacher to start with. If the specialist has a medical background, this is a "big plus," as well.

When deciding to take the journey of education toward prenatal Yoga certification, one should consider the amount of continuing education involved. Much like all the specialist branches of Yoga, there is more knowledge than most of us can absorb within one life time.

At the same time, it should be recognized that prenatal and postnatal knowledge is constantly changing and improving. Since the Internet is readily accessible to a large population, knowledge is being shared in an instant.

This instant access can make it confusing at times, because we can also be sorting through erroneous information, which is wasting our time. Therefore, we have to filter information from reliable sources. Unfortunately, all of the answers to prenatal or postnatal health, cannot be found in one document, DVD, CD, certification, or a prenatal Yoga teacher course.

As a result, Yoga teachers, who teach pregnant students, must continue their educations for life. There are a number of factors to consider, within any prenatal course; but Yoga teachers who decide to pursue this path, should consider the following subjects when teaching students who are pregnant.

I. Dietary information that will benefit the mother-to-be and the baby. Much dietary information is common sense. Information about healthy eating is readily available, but we see the results of poor eating habits quite frequently.

II. Asana practices, that can be modified for each trimester. Within each trimester, postures will have to be modified. There is a misconception that the first trimester requires no safety measures. In a nutshell, during each trimester, there are specific safety precautions.

III. Meditation practices, which may be adjusted for each trimester. To focus on good thoughts is a wonderful practice for mother and child. Good mental and emotional health of the mother is critical to the baby's overall health.

IV. Pranayama (Yogic breathing techniques), which may change during the course of pregnancy. Pranayama techniques have specific roles during pregnancy and labor. Some of the relaxing Pranayama techniques can be practiced anywhere and at any time.

V. Relaxation techniques, which can help an expectant mother throughout pregnancy. As mentioned above, controlled breathing is a major part of relaxation, but stage-by-stage, or body scan relaxation sessions, are healthy practices for mother and child.

Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga ~ Short Forms with Jennifer Wolfe Review



This video was hands down the best purchase I made during my entire pregnancy.

I wanted to be "in training" during my pregnancy, as I was hoping for a natural childbirth. Unable to find prenatal classes that worked with my schedule, I listened to the numerous positive reviews for Jennifer Wolfe's videos, and I bought them during my first trimester.

My fitness background: I regularly use other ashtanga and vinyasa yoga videos, and I consider myself to be at an intermediate/advanced fitness level... probably intermediate when it comes to yoga.

I LOVED doing this video. I did either the 30 min or 45 min workout almost every day throughout my entire pregnancy (all 42 weeks of it!) Jennifer's teaching style and cues are great- I found her really pleasant, calming, and easy to follow. I felt as though she knew exactly what my muscles were craving- my husband laughed at all of my "mmmmmms" and "ahhhhhs" while I was working out.

This workout kept me sane and energetic. The modifications for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd trimester were perfect for how I felt during each phase of my pregnancy. I definitely felt a big boost in my mental and physical state on days I did this video.

Obviously feeling good during pregnancy is important, but the strength it gave me during my childbirth experience was priceless. I DID have my natural childbirth, complete with 6.5 hours of pushing. My (highly sought-after) OB now tells all of his patients to use Jennifer Wolfe's yoga DVDs!

Why Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga & Who is Jennifer Wolfe?
*****************

What is Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga?
Whether you're a yoga veteran in search of an active yoga routine, or you're new to yoga, Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga gives you all the tools to make your pregnancy journey the best it can be. Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga is your support system leading to a more comfortable pregnancy, quicker and less painful labor, and a speedier postpartum recovery.

Jennifer Wolfe developed Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga during her own pregnancy when she realized that all styles of prenatal yoga offered, at the time, could not adequately prepare her physically and mentally for labor. She wanted a yoga practice that specifically served the needs of the pregnant woman: one that actively prepares women for the marathon event of childbirth, while helping women discover their power and inner strength needed during this transformative period in their lives.

Jennifer Wolfe found these empowering and strengthening qualities in the soft flow of Vinyasa Yoga. In her DVDs, she adapts Vinyasa Yoga for the unique needs of pregnant women, providing a system that works with your body without sacrificing the intensity necessary to prepare for childbirth. By learning to link your breath and movements in a constant flow, you'll increase your ability to work with your body during labor and childbirth, reducing the need for medications or other interventions; including a decrease in the need for C-sections.

About Jennifer Wolfe

Jennifer Wolfe is a Prenatal and Vinyasa Yoga instructor, Doula, Clinical and Medical Hypnotherapist, Childbirth Educator, Reiki master and a Mother.

"Hello, and thank you for your interest in Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga. I am committed that every woman have the pregnancy and birth experience they desire. In that spirit, I created these DVDs to offer women a safe and active option for their prenatal yoga practice. I have attended nearly 400 births and trained thousands of students in Prenatal Vinyasa Yoga, and I have seen, firsthand, the amazing benefits that this yoga provides. Congratulations on your pregnancy and for taking these steps to prepare your body for this wonderful, transformative experience."
Namaste, Jennifer Wolfe

Experience and Expertise
Jennifer has studied yoga for the past fourteen years with a variety of instructors including Doug Swenson. As a hypnotherapist for the past thirteen years, Jennifer has pioneered the Dolphin Method, a unique methodology she developed using hypnosis for gentle birthing and anxiety reduction. Jennifer utilizes the Dolphin Method and yoga in her doula practice to achieve deep mind and body relaxation.

I use this everyday! - Lynleigh S. Palmer -
I am an advanced exerciser who prior to this pregnancy had started to enjoy vinyasa style yoga. So, when I stumbled upon this video after finding out I was pregnant with my second child, I was excited and ordered it immediately.

There are 3 workouts (15 min, 30 min and 45 min). All of the workouts are wonderful. They are intense and yet so relaxing. I primarily use the 30 minute workout before I go to bed. I have other prenatal yoga workouts but have only used this prenatal yoga dvd during this pregnancy.

At 32 weeks pregnant, I am still using this dvd daily and hope to be able to use it through the rest of my pregnancy.








Worthless - Janice Schwarz - United States
This woman went to the double espresso school of yoga. She zips through the forms rather than having you hold them. Further, you also spend a LOT of time upside down, specifically in downward dog.

For someone claiming to be a doula and to have all this experience working with pregnant women, she should know that all being upside down accomplishes is having baby crammed into your lungs. That is not especially conducive to breathing. Further, she doesn't give you time to get INTO a new pose. When a woman is in her 3rd trimester, there is no zipping through the forms the way she does.

One time she had a 3rd trimester woman adjust a form for a lunge by dropping her knee. Er...that's not a complicated pose even in 3rd trimester. However, a downward dog that is more of a flat back than a downward dog would be a better modification.

Admittedly, the problem may be that perhaps I'm not aware of what Vinyasa means. Probably something like "really fast".

After getting annoyed with the 15 minute workout, I watched some of the workouts and then gave up. I'm sending this one back.



Fantastic! Highly recommend - Yogini mama - Pennsylvania, USA
As a yoga teacher, I found this to be the best prenatal yoga dvd out there; knowledgeable. well paced. good cues and modifications. I absolutely recommend it!

How to Become The Best Possible Yoga Teacher

Once an intern graduates from a Yoga teacher training course, there are many high expectations. Within each of us, these expectations will differ, because we do not all want the same thing. There are many different fields for Yoga teachers to pursue. Physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health will not be addressed equally by any two Yoga teachers.

One Yoga teacher might focus on Yoga as an exercise, while another will address the therapeutic aspects of Yoga, and yet another will address the spiritual aspects of "Union." These are just a few of many potential possibilities, but there is a common formula to be the best you can be.

If you have become a Yoga teacher, you are already doing what you love, but many of your students do not love their occupations. Your passion and inspiration for life should be contagious. Students want to learn from a Yoga teacher who is "full of life."

Make an internal commitment to excellence. This commitment requires constant effort and action. Unfortunately, most of the world gives up and refuses to take action. This lack of action is to your advantage, if you take the next few steps.

Learn as much as you can, and practice as often as possible. This may require you to take more Yoga courses, and visit Yoga teacher workshops. Online and correspondence Yoga teacher courses are a viable option, as well.

Read as much as you can about Yoga. If you can read Yoga books and Yoga magazines for one hour per day, you will have amassed 365 hours of study in one year. If you get tired of reading, watch a new Yoga DVD for an hour.

If you did this every day, for four years, you would easily be a "strong teacher" about the subject of Yoga. If you continued to do this for ten years, or more, you could become one of the most knowledgeable Yoga teachers in the world.

If you study Yoga for life, you will become the best you can be. This commitment to excellence only requires one hour per day. This formula is not complex or difficult, but most certified graduates, of any subject, will not take the action to begin, persist, and endure, because most people are not self-starters.

It is only human to perform better in a structured setting - where deadlines for examinations are set and enforced. This is how we earn college degrees or become a certified Yoga teacher. What separates the top ten percent of any field, from the rest, is the inspiration and motivation, which burns like a fire from within.

Yoga Can Benefit Skiing and Snowboarding

Look around your everyday surroundings when the weather report is a bunch of moaning about a storm front that's coming with lots of snow and the "weather guessers" are warning that travel is going to be a mess. Are there people who are grinning from ear to ear? Do you know what they're thinking? For most, it's about a time in the not too distant future when that snow will be under their downhill skis, cross-country skis, or snowboard. News of snow in the higher elevations is music to their ears.

For many of these folks, the music is not so sweet when they return from their much-anticipated winter getaway. The new "sporting equipment" in their life is a heating pad, ice pack, power massager, knee brace, crutches, or even a wheel chair. They may also be having a new "intimate relationship" with their doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, massage therapist, or all of the above.

This sorry state of affairs is often the result of the person still attempting to ski in that "attack the mountain and moguls" style that was learned when the body was younger, better conditioned, and more flexible. Today, the back and knees are stiffer; the quads are not as firm; we forget to breath, tense up and crash. The outcomes are aches and bruises at a minimum and with luck; the maximum result from kissing a tree is a broken bone.

This is where the benefits of yoga come in as a near perfect discipline to develop and maintain the conditioning needed for winter sports. Yoga develops muscle strength, flexibility and balance. Hello people, these are the same things a skier or snowboarder needs for a body that will allow a continued love affair with the snow-covered slopes. Prior to the ski trip, yoga helps condition and prepares muscles and joints for the stress of skiing. When yoga is used to warm up and stretch muscles right before pushing off on that black diamond, muscles are warm and ready for the test in front of you.

When you match up skiing and yoga, your improved balance allows you to keep your shoulders square and over your boots. The breathing techniques practiced in yoga keep you from holding your breath and reducing oxygen to your muscles. Holding your breath makes muscles tense up so you ski less efficiently and are more prone to injury. The greater flexibility and increased muscle tone in the large core muscles around the legs, rear end and abdomen provide better form and technique. This is because you are bending at the hips rather than bending over at the waist and destroying your balance and weight transfer. Improved balance and technique allow you to ski with grace and to flow with the mountain rather than trying to bully and attack the mountain.

Flowing with the mountain rather than resisting it, means less wear and tear on your joints and back plus you are much less likely to kiss a tree or take a tumble with another skier, unless you want to! It also means you can enjoy your getaway and still be grinning from ear to ear and walking upright when you return to your everyday surroundings.

Tutorial: Learning Yoga

Learning yoga is the second most in thing nowadays, next of course to doing or executing the yoga exercises itself.

There are many ways and measures how yoga is taught to different people across the world.

There are formal classes, and those that are done online. Online classes also abound. There are basic and helpful books that generally offer simple tutorial to people who want to learn yoga.

Online yoga

Relaxation and a quick in touch with the mental and spiritual aspect of one's personality and life makes yoga a worthwhile and distinct type of exercise done by people of all ages around the world.

Yoga has previously been exclusive to the Hindu and other Indian religion. But nowadays, it is to be noted that the practice has also become very popular to everyone world wide.

That is why various and numerous health clubs and fitness membership organizations across all parts of the world are now offering yoga tutorials, sessions and exercises.

It is to be noted that the enrollees for such tutorials and classes are rising very rapidly nowadays. But because there are more people who do not have the luxury of time to spend freely on tutorials, it is imperative that yoga be offered through different venues and portal.

To cater to the numerous people who are too busy at work and only find a little time after office hours to spare for such relaxing tasks and exercise, there are a number of Web sites now that offer yoga tutorials and classes online.

Online yoga sites are so helpful and have been greatly patronized and visited. That is because some people are almost always too busy at work during daytime and cannot really rush to their gyms after work hours.

Books offering personal yoga tutorials

Because learning yoga is not always learned conveniently through formal classes, here are some recommended readings and books that would help you learn more about yoga. Help yourself and get some of these books. Be in the convenience of self-tutorial.

"Business of Teaching Yoga" by Larry Payne

This book is basically teaching readers who are aiming to teach yoga classes and activities to other people. Because holding classes and teaching yoga to others can be a tough responsibility, it is mandated that the person doing such be knowledgeable enough about the discipline.

Otherwise, the danger would be imminent to the class participants and students. Like almost all forms of exercises, yoga activities can be futile if the proper techniques, posture and form of the body throughout the process would definitely spell out the success and efficiency of the task.

The book is available on your favorite bookstand or online through the different e-shopping sites like amazon and others.

"How to Meditate" by Lawrence LeShan

The book, as the title implies will teach readers on the proper, appropriate and effective way of simple meditation and concentration.

Yoga basically involves and revolves around meditation to provide the natural and well-balance between the body's physical, spiritual and mental faculties.

This book will greatly touch on the issues, concerns and standard practices that would provide greater condition for yoga training and exercises.

"Ashtanga Yoga---The Practice" by David Swenson

The modern yoga is a branch out of the ancient and well disciplinary Ashtanga Yoga, that is why learning it would be of great help when also learning yoga.

The book tells about the recommended practices, procedures and simple tasks when doing or attempting to meditate or do the basic yoga.

Rodney Yee/Mariel Hemingway: 15-Minute Results Yoga Review



Others have wrote great reviews. This is not soothing yoga that Rodney usually does. This is the more conversational style that Rodney has done with Mariel Hemingway on the Yoga Now set, except they are alone together w/o other students. This is not for anyone who doesn't already know the beginner yoga poses by heart, by name.
There are no intermediate or harder poses. It's split into :
Upper Body Toning
Lower Body Sculpting
Abdominal Strengthening
Total Body Conditioning
Almost all have Rodney speeding through sun salutations like power yoga, then goes to more slow/normal held poses. Upper had more plank, etc., lower has more warrior, abs has more boat & holding crossed legs off the ground. Total body is last & actually more the seated & reclined stretching focus. You can easily combine these with only some warrior & a lot of sun salutation repetitiveness.
Also, just like the Yoga Now set, there are fast arm swings up/down, fast mindless hoping & arm swing w/torso turning. Luckily, except for some in the abs workout, there is no going in/out of poses like the Yoga now.
I hated the mindless hoping, arm swings, etc from Yoga Now, but then I realized it was based on Chi Kung/Qi Gong warm up movements. So instead of hoping, I just bending my knees & bounce like on a train/bus to wake up the chi. When they do up/down arm swings, I do it more slowly matching my breath to it which helps the heart. When they do any torso turns w/arms swings, I don't focus on the arm swings, but on turning the waist as much as possible to massage/wring out the organs & let the arms just follow. It makes a big difference.
Again, they don't give enough pose instruction for anyone but seasoned beginners or better, but they do give some sporadic perfect reminders or where to turn more or what not to do, so it's not totally useless chatter, but they don't go very mind/body at all.
This is for people who find the more peaceful dvds too spiritual, or for times they are too jumpy/stressed to enjoy the spiritual slower paced dvds w/o frustration.

Love this yoga workout! - Joyce Ann Jacobs - Jersey Girl
I really love this yoga video. I had taken it out of the library before I bought it and so I had used it several times already. It is the perfect video for short yoga practices - and you can do several of the sessions if you want a longer practice. The teachers work very well together. Everything is demonstrated so that you know exactly what to do.



Friendly and Non-Intimidating Rodney Yee Yoga Training - Bold Consumer - USA
The quality is fine. The training is excellent, as always. I think I just prefer for him to work solo. Others may find the exercise less threatening and more user-friendly when he has a yoga partner.

It also may be that I was bored with this one because I've advanced further and need to stop buying yoga for beginners! I just have a habit of buying anything Rodney Yee puts together. I'm rarely disappointed and this one is okay, especially for those who are fairly new to yoga and are a little intimidated by starting yoga practice. It's friendly and pleasant.



Too high impact! - Avid Reader - St. Louis, MO
I liked the idea of multiple 15 minute yoga workouts, but these workouts are not for everyone. There is too much time spent jumping up and down and that is way too high impact for me due to foot surgery. I have been to many yoga classes at the gym and I have never jumped up and down and I'm OK with that. The other yoga poses are way too quick for me. I understand they wanted to get as much yoga in 15 minutes, but it didn't seem like a good 15 minute practice. The chatter between Rodney Yee and Mariel Hemingway was extremely distracting for me. I could never do this practice more than once since the talk was so annoying. Some people may not be bothered by that.

Check Out Wai Lana Yoga: Easy Relaxation Workout for $10.95

Wai Lana Yoga: Easy Relaxation Workout Review



I found this easy series just right for me as a beginner. This Relaxation workout energizes as well as relaxes. I have had to do some for less time than shown and have over the last couple months strengthened incredibly. This is really the only exercise I do and my muscles are firm and movement is coming much easier for me. When finished I feel like I've had a full body workout. It is refreshing and energizing.

Wai Lana has a soothing voice that my husband calls monotone, but I find is slightly melodious and very easy to ignore when I'm doing something else, but easy to hear and calming to listen to when I do. She moves between poses rather quickly, but after a while I got used to this. If this is bothersome to you at first you can do the "One Asana at a time" or just do the poses in less time to give you time to rest more between poses. Wai Lana has beautiful outfits that change throughout each session and a variety of beautiful backgrounds. Her outfits are very modest and not form fitting (a plus for men who don't want distraction). She wears an elastic belt around her waist, which helps you see what she is doing with her waist. She is very descriptive of how to do the poses and what benefits you are getting. Because her voice is non-intrusive it isn't irritating that she talks most of the time. She says nothing extraneous that would distract you from the pose and over a long period of time of using the DVD hearing her say the same things each time doesn't get irritating.

On the main menu you have "Start Workout", "Extras", and Introduction (which is the same on each DVD). The "Start Workout" is the entire work out for that DVD. The workout itself consists of about 35 minutes of postures. After that is a time of music and meditation. Under "Extras" it lists "One Asana at a time", which does as it says; "Customize your workout", this lets you do the asanas (poses) in any order you wish with 17 asanas (on the beginner's I didn't count there others) and 20 slots for your choices, so you can do one more than once or some not at all as you don't have to fill all the slots; "Guidelines" this is a basic rundown of things to do and not to do to get the most out of it and prevent injury; and "More from Wai Lana", which covers all the things she has to sell - her other DVDs and tapes, her music CDs, mats, etc. You can also see those things on her website: www.wailana.com.

Each DVD comes with an illustrated book showing a picture of each asana, its English name, and what it physically benefits most. This is useful if you are going traveling and don't have a DVD player, doing the set outside, or if you want to do the set at your own pace.

There is also an option on the main screen of each that allows you to change from English to Spanish.

The Relaxation Workout includes: Three-Step Leg Lift, Rock & Roll, Sitting Eagle, Arm Circles, Shoulder Rolls, Shoulder Lifts, Reaching Backbend, Windmill, Tree Pose, Easy Camel, Alternate Leg Stretch, Biking Pose, Drawbridge, Side Leg Rise, Locust Lift, Sacrum Massage, and Meditation.

Side note: the asana Wai Lana is doing on the front of each DVD cover is not included on that DVD, so don't pick the DVD(s) you buy by the asana pictured on the front.



Wai Lana Yoga: Easy Relaxation Workout Feature


  • Running Time: 50 minutes
  • Level: Beginner
  • Includes exercises to help loosen muscles, learn to leg go of stress, massage your entire spine, increase flexibility in the elbow and shoulder joints, and strengthen your thighs, abdominals, and lower back

Not What I Was Expecting - Spiritualist Enthusiast - Saratoga, CA
It wasn't what I was expecting.
Maybe my grandmother would enjoy this production, but for a mom-on-the-go, it wasn't up my alley.
Needs to more updated with other products available on the market.



Great - Lena, LMT - Nassau, NY
Wai Lana is very true to her art, her stamina & flexibility are amazing. She holds each pose for a good length, describing in details exactly how to move, when to breathe at all times, what to watch out for if your body tries to "cheat", modifications for each pose. The most important thing she does which most yoga DVDs lack is that she tells you the BENEFITS while you are holding them to keep you inspired to try your hardest to get the health benefits. She also uses some moves that are Qi Gong style to increase energy & blood flow. In all her videos, she always works out at beautiful beaches & other landscapes.

From Grass Tiger's review of Wai Lana's 3 disc set, the Relaxation disc has: Three-Step Leg Lift, Rock & Roll, Sitting Eagle, Arm Circles, Shoulder Rolls, Shoulder Lifts, Reaching Backbend, Windmill, Tree Pose, Easy Camel, Alternate Leg Stretch, Biking Pose, Drawbridge, Side Leg Rise, Locust Lift, Sacrum Massage, and Meditation.


My legs, especially hamstrings, were stiff & hurting me before the workout & felt great after. On a pose to fix poor back posture, I pushed myself too much & was in slight pain during & my back was muscularly sore after. The interesting thing was, if I slouched, it hurt more, if I kept my back straight, the pain disapeared instantly. The pain was gone in a few days without any pain meds, heat or ice or anything which I normally never bother with.
The only cons are that some people have said her accent is hard to understand, but I, who usually do have trouble with accents, did not. She speaks in a unrushed, calm tones. She also uses gaudy makeup & very colorful outfits. But those complaints are shallow, and all that matters is the teaching ability for a safe workout.
I wish more yoga videos taught you benefits as you did the poses to keep you inspired.

Teaching Hatha Yoga - Creative Networking

For Yoga teachers, who work as independent contractors, this economy is a test of creativity. Although there may be class cutbacks, at your local health club, a local chiropractic clinic may be searching for a Yoga instructor to work "in house."

Alexander Graham Bell stated, "When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us." We wait for things to happen, and when they do not fall into place, we dwell on the negative outcome.

We practice preventative health methods and teach others to be pro-active toward health, but we neglect being creative about networking. Some of us are entirely content to teach Yoga in isolation. There are many reasons for this, but most of us, who teach Yoga, tend to be very independent in our thinking.

In the words of John Donne: "No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee."

This does not imply that you should give up your own free will, but feel free to "test the waters" of networking. Opportunities are good only when you recognize their potential. Everyone needs to consider opportunities in this economy.

Please consider your viewpoint in all matters. Are you optimistic, middle of the road, or slightly cynical? At this point, I have never met a pessimistic teacher of Yoga, so that option has been by-passed.

If you are optimistic or cynical, you need to hear the opposite opinion from a trusted friend. Even if you do not agree, a logical and honest opposing opinion can help you make a sensible evaluation.

Now, let's get back to the heart of networking your Yoga teaching services. An independent contractor can afford to take his or her time making a decision. There is usually very little overhead to worry about, no employees to pay, and creative independent contractors are in a strong position in any economy.

However, if you are a Yoga studio owner, you must move forward now. You must network to find services that your students are seeking. Therapeutic massage, Ayurveda, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Reiki, and Pilates are examples of services that your students may desire.

If you have the space or time frames available, you might find the networking opportunity of a lifetime. Many of these networking opportunities come and go, but some of them are perfect long-term matches.

Hatha Yoga for Stress Management: Creating Your New Year Yoga Plan

Are you ready to make a life changing resolution? What is a daily Yoga plan? How can a daily Yoga plan reduce stress and change your life?

You can make a change at any time of the year, but New Year's resolutions are the most popular. Yet, we often see that New Year's resolutions do not make it past Valentine's Day. So, if you are ready to make a change and add Yoga to your life - let's look at a way for you to be successful for the long-term.

Get a journal and prepare it for writing. I prefer to write things down, but you may prefer a lap top, personal digital assistant, or your computer. Either way, you should write your goals down - especially the amount of time you plan to practice Yoga in a studio, at home, or on the way to and from work.

You can practice Yoga all day long. When you consider the many aspects of Hatha Yoga, you can easily incorporate them into your life. Here are some examples, but remember to incorporate these habits gradually. Do not make Yoga into a task, but take the time to enjoy the aspects, which help you deal with stress and add quality to your daily life.

In the morning, upon waking, you can practice Pranayama in bed. There are many Pranayama techniques to choose from, but you may find Dirgha breath or natural breath to be easier at this time of the day. You could practice meditation upon rising, for ten to twenty minutes, if you have the time.

Once you are up and about, you could practice asana warm-ups or Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar). If you do not have time, you could be mindful of what you eat by eating in moderation and making wise choices.

You can work on your posture as you sit, stand, walk or perform any physical task. Is your back straight when you eat? Do you take the time to enjoy your food? Are you breathing correctly or are you already short of breath? Does coffee make you short of breath? Which foods cause you adverse reactions?

This self-observation is just another exercise in mindfulness, but will cause you to open a form of consciousness, which will improve your daily life.

In order for us to make changes, we must first want, plan, observe, take action, and practice Yoga each day. Yoga is not a physical exercise to be counted by the minutes you practice on a Yoga mat. Physical exercise is just one aspect of Hatha Yoga.

To bring your life in balance, you must identify what you do that causes your stress. This will not eliminate all of your stress, but it will identify stressful situations, which you can prevent.

This is just one example of Yogic methods applied toward better health and a less stressful life. Writing down your Yoga plan is just the start of a good habit for positive change.

The Ancient Ayurveda Yoga Series Review



In sanskrit, Ayurveda means the study of life. According to ancient Hindu texts, all healing systems stem from Ayurvedic medicine. This Ancient Ayurveda series dvd, led by Sarah Tomlinson with clarity and insight, provides a blueprint for increasing self-awareness through the use of asana, symbol and metaphor. Tomlinson, acts like a loving guide to going inward and discovering new self-truths. To effectively bring about change in our bodies and minds, we must change habitual patterns in the body. The poses in the series takes us through a full range of challenging movements, and Tomlinson illuminates the wisdom of this practice by brilliantly threading together how the poses evoke certain states of mind and spirit. Filmed against a simple, soothing background, Tomlinson wisely avoids distracting bells and whistles. Instead, the accompanying chanting by ayurveda master Gandharva,directly relates to the series in it's use of each of the planetary mantras.
Tomlinson's has a great depth of knowledge about ayurveda, and she weaves many subtle suggestions and information about the benefits of each pose into the practice. This dvd is appropriate for beginner and advanced student: beginners will feel supported and encouraged, as well as exhilirated by the practice, and more experienced students will appreciate the multi-level aspect of Tomlinson's class.
L. Landau, teacher and student




The Ancient Ayurveda Yoga Series Overview


In this DVD, Sarah Tomlinson presents a revolutionary yoga practice created to connect you with your optimum vitality, tranquility and mental well-being. The 21 Postures of the Ancient Ayurveda Yoga Series are a re-discovery of an ancient and powerful form of Hatha Yoga that integrates all levels of the personality-from the physical to the spiritual.

Interesting - Fitness Organica - Missouri USA
A unique yoga practice based on the principles of Ayurveda. The 70-minute intermediate/advanced-level practice is divided into three sections: relaxing, harmonizing, and energizing. You have the option to do the entire practice, or select a single section. You also have the option to have the mantras on or off. There are 21 postures in the Ancient Ayurveda system; 7 in each of the 3 sections. Each of the postures corresponds to both a planet and a trait. For example, Forward Bend, one of the relaxing postures, corresponds to the planet Mercury and the Intellect. Sarah Tomlinson has included a very nice laminated 5x7 card with the DVD that can be pulled out for reference. Sarah is the co-director of the Ayurveda Yoga Institute in New Jersey, and is the only Ayurveda Yoga instructor/presenter in the USA.



Soothing Yoga for a Hectic World. ..... - Antoinette D. Maclachlan - New York City.
For me the wonderful thing about Sarah Tomlinsons' Ancient Ayurveda Yoga Series is that here is a yoga sequence that challenges us to slow down and observe the inner workings of our bodies. The calm and mindful presentation of this DVD reflects the quiet mindfulness with which we are invited to practice. Resting between each of the first 7 postures gives the practitioner the chance to internalize and notice the bodily sensations, a chance to move with awareness into the more complex postures that follow.
I have found it very easy to follow and practice with the DVD. With the musical quality of Sarah Tomlinson's voice acting as a soothing guide I have even found myself able do some of the more challenging postures, like Swan, that I was previously unable to do.I also find it fascinating the way each posture is connected with a beautiful Yantra and Mantra.
Here at last, is a mature yoga DVD that gets away from the frantic 'aeroba-yoga' fanaticism of recent years. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a soothing yoga experience.






Worst yoga routine ever - M. Waterman - glen mills, pa
This is the worst yoga tape I have personally seen. The production value of this tape is horrible. First problem, the entire tape was shot with one camera. The whole time you just get a side view of the instructure. For thirty dollars I would like multible angles. There was moment I thought she was going to stop her pose to adjust the focus. Secondly, it looks as if the whole tape was shot in the instructures bedroom. And a small bedroom at that.

There is nothing new as far as the routine goes. There are no new poses, or an ancient mind, body practice. The insructure seems bored with the routines as she is talking, very monotoned the whole time. And her voice is very nasal and just shall we say not soothing. This is just a badly done yoga routine that is horribly overpriced. If you want an excellent yoga routine try Shiva Rea or Baron Baptiste. STAY AWAY from this routine. It is the first Yoga tape I returned in three years!!!

Yoga for Health: Basics/Headaches Review



One thing I can say about this DVD is that it is very relaxing! The setting, the background music, is just great. The first reviewer is sorta right saying that it's "almost amateurish"- it is in the respect that it does not seem like a typical commercialized exercise/yoga dvd. And at first viewing I was a little put off by that, wondering if it would be any good. But I got into it after part of the way through anf actually loved it! And that is just what makes it feel more real and relaxing to me- many of the typical commercialized ones have instructors that have this fakeness, or just a big ego, about them, and often I don't even like the background music. But this one makes you feel like you're in a real yoga class. There are about 5 people doing the yoga including the instructor. I want to mention also that the instructor has a euro accent- which I happen to find a plus because for some reason it's a really relaxing sounding one- but if you don't like accents at all, then maybe this isn't for you. But I can still understand her perfectly fine, and the background music is not too loud or too low, just the right volume.

I don't know why the first reviwer is complaining about the editing- it's fine and the instructor explains the moves perfectly, no confusion for me.

So overall this is a great yoga dvd. The setting and instructor is what can make or break for a good yoga experience. Here is a short summary:

-the intructor spoke in a perfect soothing yoga voice
-moves were clearly explained/demonstrated
-the choice of background music was perfect, including the volume of it
-the ambience in the room was very nice and relaxing
-doesn't get weird or "out there" like some yoga instruction can be

And I'm not one who is easily relaxed, so this is alot coming from me. I so recommend this!

BTW- I havent used this enough yet to see if it actually helps my headaches/migraines. But I'm sure it does somewhat (at least tension headaches) because of how relaxing it is. I'll update this when I do this enough times to have seen if there is any effect on my headaches.

Very soothing/relaxing easy poses for light days - Lena, LMT - Nassau, NY
This dvd is like her Depression & Gastro-Intestinal but I would say the Depression one has more poses & requires more energy then this one. This one as the basics name shows is much more mild for light days when you are tired, have injury, etc. There is a lot of child's pose & lying down after each pose & there aren't as many. I still like this as I enjoy Jenny's soothing style which you can feel even as she talks to her students where other yoga dvd's can't do the same even in voice over. She doesn't go into how to do the poses correctly, so this is best for beginners who already have taken a few classes or have more instructional information dvds.
Jenny Corneo is very calming w/a nice Spanish? accent which I had no problem following. This is done in a large industrialized space w/concrete floors w/white walls w/interesting windows & beautiful, simple decorations. There are 4 other students, all in different shapes & ethnics and 1 man. The production could be better, but the camera angles have artistic sweeping shots, zooms in, move around to different angles slowly throughout. The music is VERY light, almost don't hear it, but it's very soothing & beautiful.
Jenny has a relaxed style, she goes in/out of each pose w/you, and then during helps fix other students postures. She tells the benefits of each pose as she helps other students. She usually has a relaxation after each pose for several seconds. She has great body awareness & the session really flowed. The music is very light, almost don't notice it, but the session was healing.
Poses used for both sessions which are very similar - alt. nostril breathing, reclined simple stretches, sun salutations, reclined leg stretches, shoulderstand, plow, bridge, fish, sitting fwd single & both leg bends, cobra, cat/cow, seated twisted pose, standing fwd bend, savasana.



Decent workout for most levels, despite low production values - Mian Bao - Mountain View, CA
While a previous review by pinar calls this video "almost amateurish", I would disagree with this statement by instead calling the video "very amateurish". However, despite the low technical quality, the yoga instruction itself is quite suitable for almost any level. If you are as inflexible as I am you just won't push anywhere near the level that they do on the video, but you'll still get a good stretch in.

I haven't done the exercises when I've had a headache, but you spend a fair bit of time inverted, which I'm assuming is to help with headaches. You shouldn't get this if you are preggers or have high blood pressure. Jenny does get a bit "out there" by my reference, since you start by alternating plugging one nostril and breathing through the other. It might actually work to de-stress you, though, if you aren't overly distracted by having a finger up your nose. At one point she delivers the classic line "this is a great position for releasing gases from your stomach" which brought the value up a lot for me by itself.

In summary, if you want to do some basic poses, some relaxation poses, and possibly release some gas (and who doesn't?) then this is the video for you.






like a home video - pinar -
The almost amateurish production of the DVD initially did not bother me (although it may bother some!). What I found to be most disappointing about this DVD is that the two parts ('basics' and 'headaches') are almost identical. Why bother calling one 'basics' and the other 'headaches' if there ie almost no difference (if there is. it should be explained to us)? The order of the moves are changed ever so slightly and one is 3-4 minutes longer than the other. The producers did not even bother with two takes, just edited one take and placed under two different headings.
The editing overall is not good, the instructor starts explaining one move and then the editor cuts to another move. The sound is also bad, it is difficult to hear the instructor.
Overall, if this was a home-made video a friend of mine had passed on to me, I would have probably appreciated it. But not as a DVD for which I had to pay this amount of money!

Pilates is all the rage in just about every gym and health club across the USA and the world. It is an excellent method of exercising that helps you get into shape without making you sore. Whoever came up with the slogan 'no pain no gain' obviously wasn't thinking of Pilates when they said it!

Pilates exercise was named after Joseph Pilates. During the early 1900s he was a boxer, living in England. During WWI, Pilates a German prisoner of war and he came up with his exercise system based on yoga, Zen philosophy, and many exercises he had found in Roman and Greek history. His method become a whole body approach to health and benefited many of his fellow prisoners of war improving their health and chance of survival.

The modern version of the Pilates prison camp workout is a series of exercises that improve the strength and flexibility of your body through a series of coordinated stretching and balancing exercises.

The Pilates Method can improve the following areas or conditions of your body:

Improved Muscle Tone, Energy & Mental Concentration.

Pilates is recommended by chiropractors the help strengthen the back and spine. After using the Pilates system consistently for several weeks a person will notice increased mobility in the joints, improved circulation, a flatter stomach, and a thinner waist and thighs. Pilates can also help strengthen the body from the inside out by focusing on the whole body and whole body movements which help blood flow to almost all of your organs which in turn helps to relieve stress and anxiety.

Perhaps the best part of Pilates is the fact that it can be done from the privacy of your own living room. That's right, with the quality of Pilates DVDs you can pop a disc into your player, move the coffee table out of the way and you are exercising before you know it.
Going to the gym is great but many people feel self conscious and people look over at them and watch them exercise. This is especially true of people who are shy or perhaps a little overweight or maybe a lot overweight to the point where they don't want to go out of their home.

With a Pilates DVD, you don't have to go out of your home which makes it much easier for people to work out. Sometimes people who want to work out don't live close to the gym or it takes 15 to 20 minutes to get there. Before you know it you have spent an hour commuting back and forth to the gym and who has that kind of time?

Because Pilates is such a low impact routine, it is very attractive to those recovering from an injury, the eldery, and the overweight. By increasing circulation Pilates helps to reduce weight gradually.

The benefits of Pilates are many and the best part is it can be done right in the privacy of your own home with a high quality Pilates DVD.
