I am a beginner to yoga and was looking for something to take me to the next level. Although, there are many options on this video, it is all pieced together and not in a class format. Did not like this at all! Instructors voice was also annoying.

I used the ‘beginner’ section. Still moved too fast without explanation for moves. Teacher’s voice I found to have a rather annoying timbre.
The exercises didn’t really seem to flow smoothly. I didn’t like the apparent structure of the different levels. It appears that each exercise was individually taped, then, depending on the level of exercise,the pre-taped exercises were shuffled around and inserted. Basically they were all the same exercises only pared and chopped and repositioned.
It appeared to me that the ‘close-ups’ of some moves could have been videotaped in a way that didn’t feature the demonstrators crotch. I found some of those shots to be very unpleasing to view.
I wouldn’t have bought this DVD had I been able to preview it. It really wasn’t what I was looking for. I still prefer the Rodney Yee Yoga series the best. They are shot in nicer venues with pretty scenery. The music is much more conducive to the exercise of yoga for me. The explanations and flow is much more enjoyable in the Rodney Yee series than this one. Yoga for everybody seemed like it shot by the same people that make health films for high school.

It’s true that this video has more options for routines than any other I’ve known; however, I find the flow of the routines to be terrible. There is no flow between poses, as she recorded each pose individually and then pieces them together to form a routine that focuses on specific areas.

Yoga For Every Body covers a wide range of material for many nice practices. She is a great instructor and the Interview and initial lessons are clear in explaining what to expect and how to work with the DVD.
She takes those into three general areas, Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced where you work on general material like sitting poses or standing poses, or focus on particular issues such as your wrists/hands or hips.
Very nice grouping of meditation that I have enjoyed as it steps you up through each level, and which are very relaxing and calming. Very well done and worthwhile, for some things I am using the easier beginner items and for others I have moved up a bit and it is nice to have it all.

I have been taking classes for years but live now where there are no classes. I needed something to provide structure and variety to my practice, and this does that. there are several options to try each day of varying length, and I can pause a 45 minute routine and complete it the next day.
