Product Description
'Everyone wants to feel good, everyone wants to look good. A little while ago I discovered something that did both...Yoga.

Yoga has had a spectacular impact on my life and I hope it does the same for you, much love Shilpa Shetty'. India's gorgeous Shilpa performs Yoga Asanas in the perfect scenic ambiance of Kerala on the southern tip of India alongside the Arabian Sea, surrounded by mesmerizing views. This unique workout aims not only to strengthen and tone, but also to heal; designed to help improve posture you will notice your body changing through a series of calming poses which focus on slow movement and breathing control.

Like some of the other reviewers I would say this isn't a true work out as such. I bought it for stretching and to combat massive stress in my life for that it is BRILLIANT. I am in my 30s and have started to realise the truth in 'use it or lose it'....I just felt that I was a bit less flexible and wanted something that would help me stretch.
This DVD provided a great solution. It is not the easiest to navigate round so I find that I have to make about 30-40 minutes to do the whole thing but it is really worthwhile if you are after just a bit of down time/precious time to yourself etc.
Don't buy it if you want the type of yoga that will leave you breathless and sweaty.....but I would well recommend it for relaxation - and if you are a beginner like me just look at the complicated poses and try them gradually and carefully. The settings are beautiful and the voice over guy and Shipa's voice are lovely to listen to.

I have done a lot of yoga videos with famous people heading them up and this is by far the best one ever. Unlike some it is not the celebrity butting in trying to be funny while an austere looking yoga instructor throws instruction after instruction at you while you try not fall over and feel jealous of the starlets well toned everything. The setting is beautiful different parts of india with calming music which creates a good feeling. Shilpa does an introduction to it and this features shots of her training for the 'miss bollywood' musical. She seems genuine in her love for yoga but not gushing and over analytical about it like some past yoga dvd celebs. The workout itself is quite gentle and you really feel like you can pretty much keep up with it to an extent and no-one makes you feel bad about not achieving the exact position immediately but in your own time. There is no endless repetition of routines which stopped me getting bored. If you like shilpa shetty then you will love this dvd, she moves through each position beautifully and elegantly but still has fun. If you don't like shilpa then you will probably still love this dvd as she doesn't proclaim to be an expert and infact doesn't say anything throughout the workout and instead you have a calm and encouraging male voice narrating each pose and explaining briefly but effectively it's benefits. I am not one for much high praise and i hate exercise but this dvd is fantastic in every way and it's down to earth attitude and dedication to the original true art of yoga including true yogic breathing and movement makes it and you feel much more special. Do yourself a favour and buy or rent this dvd, you will not regret it.

People who are complaining that this is not an intense Yoga workout either need to stop or learn to read. It states quite clearly on the FRONT of the DVD that this is an INTRODUCTION to Yoga.
Firstly, the scenery was amazing. It was a clever choice to film in lush fields and beautiful Indian houses. The locations are truly inspirational.
But not as much as Shilpa herself. Damn does this girl have a gorgeous body or what? I loved her workout clothes. Nice change from the black lycra and other fashion disasters that no one looks good in. She looks pretty and for that reason, she makes you want to work to look pretty.
Another thing I liked was that, though she is in great shape, Shilpa is a normal woman. She has curves and she seems pretty proud of them. Her flat belly bunches up when she does certain moves but there's no self conciousness about it. It's refreshing to see someone focusing on the moves instead of the camera and it makes me believe her a whole lot more when she talks about Yoga being a lifestyle to her.
The workout itself is pretty simple. A smooth voiced man clearly talks you through one repetion of each Asana while Shilpa performs them. There is no mindless banter or chattering---in fact we don't hear from her again until the extras. This is probably the best aspect of the video. Not only is there no one huffing and puffing as they try to explain the postures whilst doing them, there is something entirely calming and relaxing about the singular voice. The whole vibe is isolated, which is exactly the frame of mind that is helpful when practising Yoga.
Others have complained about the lack of repetions but as an introduction, it's perfect. A beginner can move from one posture to the next without becoming bored or feeling deflated when the Bow seems to hard for them. (Always struggled with that one) Plus, there's none of the inevitable "taking a break" while the presenter/performer works through the next three or four reps of the moves that prove more difficult.
Instead of seemingly endless reps of a few postures, we get one rep of a lot of different postures, giving us a more broader taste of Yoga.
The extras were more than likely fan filler but as someone who watched for the workout, I'm not going to take a star away for that.
I will say that I felt the general 'just been the gym' aches the next day so don't be expecting too much of an easy ride.
In all, it's a beautiful introduction to Yoga that makes you want to stick at it while also making it easy to stick to. My advice for people who want to step it up a notch is to actually learn to do the moves without the DVD, then you can do as many reps as you want.
