Beyond Basic Yoga for Dummies
BEYOND BASIC YOGA FOR DUMMIES – DVD MovieBeyond Basic Yoga for Dummies presents 12 yoga poses that skilled instructor Sara Ivanhoe calls the “daily dozen.” Ivanhoe is calm, clear, warm, and patient, demonstrating each pose as the screen flashes easier and more challenging modifications. The too-frequent voiceover “tips,” “mythbusters,” and “warnings”–announced by sound effects–are louder than Ivanhoe’s voice and become disconcerting interruptions. Since they also appear in print on the screen

A few tips…,
I have found both Sara’s DVDs useful and fun. I will not repeat information from other reviewers that I agree with, but I will offer a few tips to those who have a concern over the length of time and “patter” in this series (Beyond Basic and Basic). These tips will work for both DVDs.
If you have gone through the daily dozen with Sara several times and know everything she’s going to say, do one of the following…
1. Mute Sara and just watch her do the poses with you while you put on a calming CD. You’ll still feel like she’s there with you and she’ll keep you moving from one pose to another.
2. Don’t use the DVD at all, but put the daily dozen list in front of you and just follow it at your own pace. (Also listening to some calming music.) You can increase or decrease the amount of breaths you take in each pose to modify your session. We do this a lot.
3. Do the intermediate session on the Basic DVD or the meditation on the Beyond Basics. Those 2 rotated make a great session on their own!
When you want a refresher course on how the poses should look and feel, just turn Sara back on and review with her.
Don’t be scared off by other reviewers’ comments! I’ve been using this series for a year now, and it’s the one I’m happiest with! This new DVD is a great companion for the first.
Namaste.

|Excellent follow-up to the first,
Just when I was getting bored with the routine from “Basic Yoga Workout for Dummies”, they decided to come out with a sequel with the same instructor (the always wonderful Sara Ivanhoe) but with a more challenging workout. I had been doing the old routine for about 10 months when I decided to step things up a bit and buy the sequel. This video is a fitting follow-up to the first. While the first routine introduced you to yoga and got you used to practicing it on a regular basis, the second video really gets you into it and presents a good workout for the body. You will be surprised at how fit this yoga workout will make you feel. I’ve been doing the workout for 6 months now, and I’m more toned and muscular, and I’ve even lost some weight! (Never meant to, though, it just happened…) When I noticed that my clothes didn’t fit as snuggly as they used to, and I had to buy smaller rings, I knew the yoga was working!
Like the first video, the instructor goes through each pose step-by-step to make sure you are doing it properly. If you’re a veteran of the first video, you’ll have no problem learning the new routine. But even if this is your first time, you will have no problem learning and doing the poses since the instructor makes yoga so accessible for everyone. And the good thing about the video is that you can watch it a few times, memorize the routine, and then do it on your own after that.
With this video, who needs to spend money on expensive yoga classes at the gym? You’ll get a great workout at a great price.
