Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Living Yoga succeeds in re-creating its superb yoga programs for DVD with the three-in-one workout The Total-Body Yoga Workout, which combines the individual body part programs on one disc.
The first workout, Lower Body Yoga for Beginners, led by Suzanne Deason, is a fun, short routine that will help you to invigorate and stretch the lower body in a series of flowing postures, working to stretch, tone, and challenge one's muscles and balance. In the second segment, Rodney Yee leads Abs Yoga for Beginners, which is designed to firm and strengthen your abs while providing a soothing respite from your hectic lifestyle. The poses are, for the most part, simple to follow, although the beginner may need to ease into some of the positions. Finally, Yee leads us through Upper Body Yoga for Beginners, a workout that will stretch, strengthen, and energize the upper body. Yee flows through poses designed to develop an open, supported chest, which in turn promotes healthy circulation, breathing, digestion, and posture. For all of these programs, a firm blanket to sit upon is needed.
The extra features on this disc are the same as those on The All-Day Yoga Workout. Once again, the DVD format is ideal for a workout program--the chapter search makes it easy to skip the introduction and jump right into the body work. Or if you're short on time and just need to relax, you can move directly to the meditations. An extra feature, "Learning the Basics," has pictures of every pose with written instructions on how to do them, which is just the thing for beginners who feel befuddled when told to do a cow-face pose or gate pose. A section on props explains how to use straps, bricks, and mats in order to modify more difficult poses for less limber bodies. Finally, the interviews with Suzanne Deason, Patricia Walden, and Rodney Yee round out the DVD, making for a full program. This is the ultimate introduction to yoga; it's a workout regimen that's easy to incorporate into your daily life and fun enough to convince you to stick with it. --Jenny Brown

- Great workoutsI bought this years ago & though they are a bit hard for those who are out of shape, I wouldn't recommend them for novices, but they are still beginner level in terms of physical/flexibility level.
The lower body is with Susanne Season. The music is light, the scene is her near the edge of a cliff with gorgeous mountain range behind her. She is alone & there is no modifications.
There is no sun salutations, but a lot of downward dog, standing fwd bends, chair & mountain. Add is lunges, ... Read More

- I love the lower body workout!!I am not a beginner by any means. I have been studying various forms of yoga for 10-plus years. I had no idea this was a beginners workout when I did it and would never recommend this for beginners.
It has, however, a very lovely, inspiring, effective, lower body workout that I plan to do often. Suzanne Deason is wonderful. Her exercising on the edge of a cliff is a bit terrifying to watch and I don't generally like yoga DVDs with "scenery" but this one works. I skip the Rodney Yee portion because ... Read More

- No, not for absolute beginnersI have pretty good fitness training and have taken some yoga. This has been a good first DVD for me to use to complement outside instruction. The 25 minute routines are short enough to easily fit in to my day, or add on a workout that includes my stationary bike. The difficulty of the poses is not terribly high, but they aren't pedestrian, either. The pace is fairly quick, which I like. I particularly like the instructor for the Lower Body section. I like Rodney Yee, but I often find that I'm not in ... Read More

- Be committed, see results in a few monthsWhen I bought this DVD, I thought that I would be able to do all of the routines right away. But, after the first viewing and attempts, I knew that it would be a challenge. Rodney Yee and Susan Gleason present the routines clearly but quickly. For beginners this is the only fault with the contents. Furthermore, the routines are rigorous. I decided to follow just the abs rountine. After three times a week for about a month, I began to feel an increase in strength, but it was not until I had been doing ... Read More

- Varied yoga practices for toning and building strengthIn this set, Living Arts offers three solid yoga practices, each focusing on a separate area of the body. However, with the exception of the abs video, I definitely would not recommend these practices for the beginning audience to which they are marketed, as the instruction is not overly detailed and the upper body practice in particular is quite challenging. Also, although these are billed as being 20-minute practices, each one is actually a bit longer.
That being said, I have owned these videos ... Read More
