This is really a very good video of Ashtagna Vinyasa Yoga. The instructors are very pleasant, explaining well each posture. Video is suitable for all levels. If you are a beginner you can easily follow Annabelle. Intermediate and more advanced people can follow William whose workout is really exeptional. The program is divided in several sections. First William explains the phylosophy of yoga. Then comes a warm up following by Sun Salutation, Standing Postures, Sitting Postures and a little session for the very advanced ones. At the end there is a 5 minutes relaxation and meditation (which you can extend as long as you like). You can expect to sweat during the practice. I also liked a lot the music, so calm and relaxing. It is really a great yoga video.

The workout last about 1hour and 20 minutes,(excluded intro and relaxation), consist of warm up, sun salutation, standing postures, seated postures, and finishing postures. It covers most common asana. The sequence is fluid, fast paced, requires a lot of up-body strength.
Although I started to practise yoga at 17, there is a 12 years gap before I re-start it half-hearted about 2 years ago. It is my 3rd video/DVD acquisition. It is very daunting, even I was familiar with most postures to start with, and keeping up the pace was not easy. After 7 month practice 3-4 times per week, there are about 6 postures I still can't achieve.
There are lots yoga exercise programs in the market, but 99 per cent of them have no use for anyone has practiced yoga for more than 2 years. I have bought so many yoga DVDs in the past year, include some shipped from states. This one still is the most thorough, advanced Yoga DVD I have encountered. It is a rarity which not only provides a platform for those intermediate levels to progress, but also provides enough scope to advance and to challenge.
The monotonous whilst concise instruction uttered by both practioneers became such a bore very quickly, for anyone can stand it, this DVD has a long life span to suit one’s yoga needs. Good buy.

Very good, most certainly not for beginners.

Being a beginner Ashtanga practitioner myself and the owner of several videos on this style of yoga, I can safely say this is the best of my collection. The instructors take you through a complete work out, all the way from warm up (at the beginning) to relaxation and meditation (at the end). You have the advanced and beginner routines running side by side and you don't have Geri Haliwell interrupting the commentary :-) I have found the pace to be a little fast, but as I've mentioned earlier, I am a relative newcomer. But who knows, by using this video between my regular classes I'm hoping to be able to become pretty good soon !!!

As its title suggests, this is an advanced course with some prior knowledge of yoga needed. Beginners may find this form of yoga too fast paced, as may those with some experience. Read more
