sarah is dimwitted and slow talking, spending the majority of the tape rambling on about things rather than just getting to the point of doing the exercises. this tape is perfect for people who want to watch yoga but not actually perform it. i like looking at sarah, and there are plenty of close ups of her face (always the critical part of the body when doing yoga exercise). i am returning my copy, and will wait until sarah does a sequel “Nude Yoga for Complete Idiots” before buying again (. . . )

I haven’t excercised in years & thought this dvd would help me ease back into things. I played the dvd & began to follow along. The instructor gave very detailed information regarding the poses. Too much, she never stopped talking! Once the dvd ended I was left wondering where is the workout? I felt like the entire tape was nothing more than the intro certainly not the workout. This dvd is good to rent or borrow ONCE. After that it is doubtful it will be of much use.

I bought Pilates for dummies and found the level very appropriate to someone who exercise regularly, but is new to a specific type of exercies. The Yoga for Dummies tape was so basic it gives you instructions on how to stand up. The workout was too simple even for someone who has just practiced yoga half a dozen dimes. I would not recommend this tape to anyone

BORING. Too Basic. Dumb Sound effects and animation. if you do not like the “for dummies” books, you definately won’t like this tape. the instructor is good. but the format for a workout is terrible.

I have been doing this video for about two months now and am starting to notice some results. I wish they had a part at the end where she just went straight through the exercises and didn’t talk so freakin’ much, but it’s still good overall.
