Format:VHS Tape
This is a fantastic introduction to anyone hoping to start practising yoga for the first time. As a complete beginner I found it easy to follow and was delighted to be able to keep up! The video/DVD gently takes you through a series of yoga positions including standing and sitting postures, shoulder balance, spinal twists and the Sun Salutation which can then be put together to provide a complete work out. I really like to way the video provides ideas for adapting these poses to specific needs and abilities and think that the list of health benefits and cautions is useful. A great video to get you started.

Format:DVD
As a person who has practised Yoga over the last 18 months from classes and DVD's, I found that this DVD stuck to the original principles of Yoga. It went at a slow but steady pace through the postures, describing these in detail with breathing instructions, so that they could easily be followed without having to try to watch the screen all the time. In between postures there were explanations as to the benefits of each movement, but this did not interfere with the practice. Relaxation was also included, this is missed out of many DVD's on yoga these days and is an important part of the practice. I would recommend this as an excellent Yoga class for all levels.

We were very disappointed with this video. It doesn't explain each move clearly, they just appear in them without telling you how to get there! The man is very annoying wiggling his fingers all the time. His voice is quiet, which would be a good thing if it wasn't for the sea in the background. It would be better if Penny explained the benefits of each move before we do them rather than after. Barbara Currie is much better!!!

good yoga dvd but music very distracting
I liked this dvd but found the music annoying. At times it was very hard to hear what Howard, who has a very pleasant, gentle voice, was saying as the music was quite loud. Read more

Being fairly new to yoga, I found this video to be excellent! The poses are challenging without being too difficult, the instructure's voice is soothing and relaxing.
