I absolutely love this video. It is definitely for beginners to the yoga routine. The background scenery and music is soothing and the instructor is very easy to follow and shows the moves so you are doing them correctly. Even though the voice is overlayed onto the movements her voice is not annoying and is actually quite soothing. Can't wait to get good enough for the next leve.

Having done yoga both with videos and in a class, I found this video to be a step above most other yoga videos. It is arranged in three sections, each having multiple workouts. The first section is designed for beginners, with one section teaching a basic set of poses, and two sections with flow-style practices of varying length. That is, the poses flow from one to the next for continuous, slow movement. The pacing is great - slow enough to allow good form in each pose, but fast enough to allow you to move along with the breath, as you breath in and out. However, it is clearly not "remedial," and includes poses requiring some flexibility, balance, and strength (e.g., downward-facing dog with one leg raised, as well as some balancing poses). If someone lacks flexibility or strength, I'd definitely recommend starting instead with "Essential Yoga for Inflexible People," which a friend tells me is perfect for beginners. The second section (the one I use the most) is a little more challenging and also has several different flow-style practices that vary in focus (arms, legs, total body) and length. It's surprising how much your heart gets beating and you really feel your muscles working. They are the ideal every-day workout. The third section is an interesting twist - yoga along with light weights or a resistance band to get even more strength training work. Again, there are several different practices that vary in focus and length. Very clever and fun. The instructions on how to work in each pose are extremely well done. Usually, the biggest downside to learning yoga from a video rather than a well-conducted class is that you can't get individualized instruction, and so you can learn the poses incorrectly and not get the full benefit of the practice. However, the instruction is so well-done that I found this video to instead help me refine and improve my use of the various poses. Finally, the filming is simply beautiful, with a gorgeous ocean landscape. This is quickly becoming my favorite yoga video!

I love this DVD for many reasons.. 1 is because it is just plain beautiful to watch and to listen to. I love hearing the sound of the ocean in the background -- It is so much better than the awful music that you sometimes hear in these videos.
I also really enjoy the flowing aspect of the video. So many of the yoga videos I've seen make you stop and start your workout...They show you one pose and then they stop to talk about it. I find this annoying because if you want a continuous practice, you have to fast forward through the explanations. Maggie Rhoades incorporates the explanations into the poses, for example, while you're holding downward facing dog for 5 full breaths, she talks about the benefits of the pose, moving more fully into the pose, etc.
I am a beginning yoga student so some of the dvd was too advanced for me but I tried the more challenging vinyasas nonetheless and will keep practicing so that one day I'll be able to do them.
Maggie's cueing is excellent. You can follow along even if you're not watching the dvd. This is very helpful as you move through the poses.
I do wish there were a more specific menu so I could pick my practice easier. The items listed on the menu are very general.
I would definitely recommend this dvd.

Maggie Rhoades is an excellent teacher and leads a safe workout practice. The videographer did a nice job of filming her movements from different angles so that the viewer can follow the practice accurately. My only downside comment is that those viewers with no knowledge (or limited knowledge) of a yoga practice might find this practice frustrating and/or too challenging. However, beginners and others should find this to be a good workout.
