Yoga for Beginners Review
Exhilirating practice in the SOLAR and LUNAR. Half hour duration for both, I have used it daily on an alternating basis. Satisfying addition to my regular rotation of short on time DVDs, I like Desi's sweet sounding voice (on the voiceover) crystal clear sound, she adds helpful info and sighs when she repeats "to exhale." Excellent production and direction. You'll be on the floor mat for SOLAR practice includes strengthening and re-energizing poses. But, you'll do the sun salutation (Vinyasa Flow) with other poses such as my newly found favorite, "dolphin pose" which goes into the boat pose plus challenges thrown into such moves as the bridge pose with leg lift. Continuing on the floor mat with LUNAR , it's all about stretch & the release of tension here. Included is a lunge series with side bends, front fold (forward bends) series, then alternating with backward bends such as the bridge pose. Honestly, I've been practicing yoga for some time, but only on occasion, and this was appropriate for my level. Not recommended for basic beginners, only because formal practice will give you the expert feedback on your poses.

Not a beginner DVD - Kate - WI
I purchased this DVD because I practiced yoga over 5 years ago and wanted to start doing it again. I don't feel that this DVD is for beginners. It is way too advanced and she does not go into any detail to explain the poses, plus her voice is taped over the segments.
I like exercise DVD's where the instructors' voice is talking throughout the DVD like you are in a yoga class in your own living room, she does not do this.
Actually the thing I find the most distracting and unprofessional is her choice of clothing for the sun portion of the DVD. .... Desiree is a beautiful, very well endowed woman and her yoga top is cut just way too low. Others may not have a problem with it, but I certainly don't think it honors her as a yoga instructor. Maybe it was done to increase sales? Fortunately the second half of the DVD she has on a different top, so no problem there.
Great dvd for beginners - D. Metcalf - Columbia, MD
When I first got this cd, I was 177 lbs and very out of shape. I started doing both Solar and Lunar every day and at first I could not keep up with the video, and would have to stop and start the dvd. But I kept trying and by the end of the first week, I was able to keep up with her (although dolphin pose is still a problem for me).
After using this video and adding 1 mile of jogging per day, I have lost 30 lbs in 4 months, and have never felt stronger. I highly recommend this dvd to people who are just starting out with yoga and want to see results quickly. I will keep using this video because I really like the production quality and Desi's instructions are greeat and her voice is very calming. It's like having yoga and meditation in one dvd.
Yoga DVD - Super Secretary - Cleveland, OH
I am very happy with this yoga DVD. I am doing the lunar part and am able to perform all of the postures. Desiree's voice is very soothing and gives excellent cues so that sometimes I can do the postures with my eyes closed even though I just started doing it. EXCELLENT PRODUCT!
