Amazon.com Title notwithstanding, Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss isn't likely to promote weight loss any more than lots of other videos will. But that's not a knock--it merely reflects the fact

I hate this
too slow and boring! how are you supposed to lose weight while basically doing nothing?
Having done yoga both with videos and in a class, I found this video to be a step above most other yoga videos. It is arranged in three sections, each having multiple workouts. The first section is designed for beginners, with one section teaching a basic set of poses, and two sections with flow-style practices of varying length. That is, the poses flow from one to the next for continuous, slow movement. The pacing is great – slow enough to allow good form in each pose, but fast enough to allow you to move along with the breath, as you breath in and out. However, it is clearly not “remedial,” and includes poses requiring some flexibility, balance, and strength (e.g., downward-facing dog with one leg raised, as well as some balancing poses). If someone lacks flexibility or strength, I’d definitely recommend starting instead with “Essential Yoga for Inflexible People,” which a friend tells me is perfect for beginners. The second section (the one I use the most) is a little more challenging and also has several different flow-style practices that vary in focus (arms, legs, total body) and length. It’s surprising how much your heart gets beating and you really feel your muscles working. They are the ideal every-day workout. The third section is an interesting twist – yoga along with light weights or a resistance band to get even more strength training work. Again, there are several different practices that vary in focus and length. Very clever and fun. The instructions on how to work in each pose are extremely well done. Usually, the biggest downside to learning yoga from a video rather than a well-conducted class is that you can’t get individualized instruction, and so you can learn the poses incorrectly and not get the full benefit of the practice. However, the instruction is so well-done that I found this video to instead help me refine and improve my use of the various poses. Finally, the filming is simply beautiful, with a gorgeous ocean landscape. This is quickly becoming my favorite yoga video!

Super fast shipping and great product
The video is great, and got to me super quick. This is a great DVD for anyone who wants to try yoga or has been doing yoga for a while.
I have not done a lot of yoga before, but now I’m hooked.
This DVD is fantastic. It has two levels of workouts (and each level has a few workouts) – one level is for beginners and one has some more challenging poses once you are comfortable with the first level.
There is also a third section (again with a few workouts) that incorporates weights and/or a resistance band into the workout.
Not only have I lost some weight and am closer to touching my toes easily, but I have really toned up from this DVD. I would have called this DVD, “Yoga for Getting in Shape” Highly recommended.

Really happy with this DVD
I’m just starting to work out so I’m not in great shape. I didn’t know what I liked so I ordered a bunch of DVDs – yoga, pilates, walking, dance workouts and some cardio…

Great for Yoga Beginners
I am new to yoga and really enjoy doing this DVD. I really liked that for a beginner DVD, it is still challenging that you aren’t bored.

Don’t Waste your Money
This was not my first Yoga DVD, but I so LOVED the 10 minute solution by Lara Hudson, that I thought this might be a nice compliment.
What I love most about this video is that it’s a bunch of videos in one. Depending on the time you have in a given day, you can always fit in one of the workouts – so no more excuses! The instruction is crystal clear and the setting is beautiful. I was skeptical about doing yoga with weights at first, but it works. And this video really teaches you, so you can eventually do the workouts on your own.

Great for toning and flexibility
I recently lost a bunch of weight and wanted to get a yoga video that was a little more active. I got this one based on the description and some reviews. Glad I got it.
