Geri Halliwell's transformation from Spice Girl to hip babe owes as much to her taking up yoga--a step she shares with us in Geri Yoga--as it does to revamping her wardrobe. Where Madonna and Sting have led the craze in this field, Geri has decided to show us all the yoga way. The 90-minute Geri Yoga features yoga teacher Katy Appleton presenting two warm up sections, a core Hatha yoga class, relaxation, along with an interview with Geri on yoga as a lifestyle.
The entire session appears unscripted, which means it captures the spontaneity of a lesson, yet it's presented in a slick manner from a modern airy studio. A former dancer with the English National Ballet, Katy Appleton's confident poise and ease diffuses Geri the star. Appleton manages to balance her instructions and attention between Tina (the beginner in the sessions) and the advanced Geri, enabling viewers to see how they can progress. Yoga aficionados will be impressed by the precision of Appleton's teaching and horrified by Geri's inane babbling. Unless you're a die-hard Geri fan who can forgive the inappropriate references to calories, you'll be waiting for Appleton to release Yoga without Geri.
On the DVD: Geri fans will lap up the extended interview, while non Geri fans will be thankful for the isolated music score. There is also an additional session geared to re-energising and revitalising body and mind. --Lorna V

4.0 out of 5 stars
If she can do it, so can you!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geri Yoga [VHS] [2001] (VHS Tape)
This video / DVD is presented in four easy steps after an initial introduction from both Geri and the teacher Suzy, the warm up section begins, followed by the more advanced sun warm up. Then there is a section called Geri's postures and finally a relaxation section. All sections are easy to follow as Suzy talks through the movements for beginners and more advanced pupils. The video also includes a interview with Geri where she talks about her past eating disorders, her struggle with faddy diets and finally her descion to start Yoga and then the process of making the video. The DVD extras include an extended interview, a customized workout and an energy workout. Even if you don't find the aspect of watching Geri Halliwell doing Yoga very appealing, the video is far more focused on Suzy and her teachings, with Geri in the background adding her comments, "I sometimes forget to breathe." An interesting and insightful video which should be in every yoga collection.

A great introduction to yoga!,

This review is from: Geri Yoga [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
This was the first exercise video I bought, after it was recommended to me by a friend. As someone who is sooooo unflexible, I thought this wouldn't suit me - I was wrong! It takes a few runs of the video before you can master the breathing techniques with the postures, but after 2 weeks of doing the video each day, I could see definite results! The workout is broken into sections, to fit in with all hectic schedules, which is a bonus! Now, my jeans are loose and my whole body is toned! A great introduction to yoga!

4.0 out of 5 stars
a yoga dvd to give a try,
By A Customer
This review is from: Geri Yoga [DVD] [2001] (DVD)
I reccomend Geri yoga to people who wish to give yoga a try. It's fun and there is nice, comfortable feel to the video as a whole, although Geri's comments do get a tad annoying after a few plays. Katy Appleton is an excellent teacher, wery confident + graceful with a calming, soothing voice. I think best part in the DVD is the relaxation section.It is very useful after a busy stressful day. Katy makes you feel very calm and relaxed (plus theres a bonus -Geri does not interrupt!) Sun warm up is also excellent & very benifical. Katy Appleton is a fantastic teacher - very inspiring and she describes how to do the movements very well indeed. The whole thing is easy to use once you have learned all movements - which is picked up quite easily after a few goes. I only wish they would have included a Katy only' section as an extra on the DVD...Overall a very good yoga DVD/video
