I absolutely loved this yoga dvd! The actual flow sequence of the dvd is about 35 minutes long with a lovely, relaxing sequence that achieves what it claims on the tin. It is really a rescue for anyone suffering from stiff neck and tight shoulders!!! After the practice I felt like I had a good neck and shoulder massage and I also felt my back a lot more relaxed and free.
This is not a workout that will assist weight loss or tone the body. It is purely a lovely stretch which focuses particularly on relieving the neck and the shoulders. Having this purpose in mind, it's also challenging at times, requiring one to increase strength in the back and shoulders and thus providing also a long-term cure and relief in these problem areas, rather than just being a band-aid. One small drawback is that the instructor, although really likeable and pleasant, often speaks in a way that I could not understand - and I am no stranger in New Age talk or yoga instruction. This however can be overlooked as it doesn't really affect the actual workout.
I also liked the format of this dvd a lot better than that led by the same instructor which focuses on back relief (although that is also quite good). The tutorials for each pose of the workout are in a different segment of the dvd rather than incorporated into the actual workout, which makes a lot more sense as it does not upset the flowing sequence of the workout.
Although a bit expensive for just over 30 min of actual workout, I would definitely recommend it to people who suffer from neck and shoulders' tightness.
