Despite my initial doubts I really do like this workout. I usually avoid 'celebrity' workouts like the plague but this one really is worth taking the time to try it out.
I have been doing yoga consistently for about a year so I went straight to level two as level one looked a bit basic. Level 2 is perfect for me although I am not the most flexible person in the world I am getting there. I am able to do most of the asanas to a satisfactory degree while I still have a way to go to get into a few of the positions fully which provides a nice enough challenge for me and I won't get bored of the workout too quickly. Another thing I like is that Jane is very much in the background, meaning no talking or interruptions from her and Ryan the yogi does all of the talking and his voice is quite soothing. I find his instructions to be very good and aimed at the right level, guiding you through so if you are used to yoga you know exactly what you are supposed to be doing without having to keep turning to look at the TV. I also like the fact that the positions are held for a reasonable length of time. I have a few yoga DVDs where this doesn't happen and you really feel the difference.
I rented this DVD as part of my free DVD rental trial and I'm glad I did. I will definitely buy it and be using it on a regular basis.

At last a Yoga DVD that is just as good and beneficial as going to a Yoga Class. fantastic
My local Bikram class finished last year , and I have been looking for something just as good . This is brilliant .
What would be good is if LoveYoga2 is made ,it can include a few of the Bikram postures as well .
otherwise brilliant , money well spent !

I have a modest library of about 20 yoga DVDs (and growing) and this one has by far the best relaxation session of the bunch. It's long and leisurely, with subtle, floaty music and just the right amount of guidance from Ryan Spielman to induce complete physical and mental relaxation. I find the shavasana lacking in different ways (too short, too talky, music too upbeat, etc.) on many of my other DVDs, and often use this one - it's chaptered as a separate practice - at the end of other workouts.
By the time I get to the relaxation I've usually earned it. Ryan Spielman teaches a strong, well-aligned posture flow. It doesn't say so anywhere on the disc, but there's an Iyengar flavour to the proceedings. He pays due attention to the placement of feet, the angle of a knee, the turn of a neck and so on. Timing wise, his cueing is spot on.
For the moment I'm content at level one - designed for beginners, but fairly challenging. It's a grounded, thorough set of sun salutes and standing poses with long, testing holds. Then floor work - back bends, some powerful hip stretches and forward bends. Level 2 moves on faster and deeper - I'll get there some day, I hope.
I have to confess I hadn't heard of Jayne Middlemiss when I ordered the DVD. I thought she was the yoga instructor. She takes the same approach as Ali McGraw on the (wonderful) Erich Schiffman workout - staying silent, and letting the master speak. Result: two beautifully executed, expertly taught yoga sessions, filmed amid gorgeous scenery. A+
