Namaste Yoga: Season 1 Part 2

After getting a few different Yoga DVDs I saw this and, remembering the series from TV a while ago, bought the first season.Hands down, this is the best Yoga DVD I've seen. The production quality is outstanding, the models are fit and competent at the moves, the instructor's voice is clear pleasant and keeps up extremely well with both the movements and the breathing.The workouts are good for beginners to at least intermediate viewers. They have challenging poses that beginners may have a little trouble with, but nothing like another "beginner" DVD I have where the second session has you propping your shins on your elbows and balancing your entire body on nothing but your two hands (I'm drawing a blank on the name of that pose at the moment). They poses on this DVD set are challenging without going overboard.If I could change anything on these the only thing I that comes to mind is that I'd like them a little longer. They're about 28 minutes for warm up, workout and cool down. It's not really difficult to run two episodes back to back, but I'd love it if these were about an hour long.I still give this series 5 stars and highly recommend it.

I feel this sequence is a little fast, but preview the sequence more than once before doing. It's great!

When I first found Namaste Yoga, I loved it! It was just what I needed for my sciatic nerve & plantar fasciitis. I was sad when they stopped airing it, finally I went tp purchase it. I wished they had advertized what positions where goign to be covered in each series. I really wanted to have the swan positions but it was not in the Season One Part One, but I am still happy to be doing my yoga again!!!! Nothing has been to difficult to conquer!! bridgewater, ma

This DVD is really excellent. It is very well done with beautiful scenery and a very soothing audio. It is a gentle yet challenging workout, focusing on mind, body, and spirit. I always feel so much better after practice as it is relaxing, invigorating, and inspiring. I plan on using it portably with my computer outdoors in the privacy of my backyard where I too can enjoy practicing in the peace and beauty of my garden.

This is my favorite for yoga. I want every season. Very calming. Easy to follow. Smooth moving throughout the instructions

I benefit tremendously both in flexibility & tone (I'm 70), and by accenting the breathing - ending sessions a different person, at least 4 days per week. I don't follow the screen once it's familiar but the pleasant presenters & Vancouver scene changes set it apart. But year two has a little nicer narrative, is more inspirational, and the movement-poses are less athletic versus two demanding sessions of Season One.

This is not a difficult workout (the last couple are a little tougher), but there are a number of 20 minute-ish "shows" which are well done. The scenery is nice, and the cuing is fairly good. When I'm not in the mood to workout, I do this, as it's not extremely taxing. I do plan to order another part of the series.

This is what an exercise dvd should be. I'm now more puzzled and displeased than ever as to why almost every exercise dvd is so poorly produced. I would recommend these dvds to everyone. Rather than giving you a full review, I am sure they have some of the sessions on youtube. Check them out and then support the makers of these videos and purchase a copy yourself.
