 Good toning workout
This workout is execllent for toning. If a person is trying to lose weight, I would recommend to combine it with aerobics and weight training exercises. One important thing to keep in mind is that this dvd is not for beginners or people who are new to yoga. Sarah Ivanhoe is one of my favorite instructer, and her cueing is perfect. After sometime you don't need to look at the tv screen..
 You will sweat and still feel relaxed!
Its a very good video to follow and has enough exercises. The instructions are easy and you can follow without looking at the video. Along with the main instructor there is an additional instructor who does the workout in a less strenuous manner.
Just do this 40 minute workout everyday and you will see results quickly.
I would recommend it strongly! Thank you Sarah Ivanhoe!
Not what I expected
I have been a fat, fat person. But through walking and eating right, I have lost over a hundred pounds, but still, I was needing flexibility and conditioning. I was afraid to try a fat burning video for fear I could not keep up. I rented the Candlelight Yoga video from Netflix and loved it. I bought this video too, but was still intimidated, maybe I could not do it. I finally tried it and love it. The pace is just right. The poses are not impossible, in fact they incorporate options for any person's conditioning level. And the music is nice. There is no religious aspect to this video, and I like that. This one is one I will enjoy for a long time. You can check out my progress at http://just-a-mom-thats-more-than-enough.blogspot.com/
OK workout for the casual user
I have used this video many times over the 6 years that I've owned it and, while I will agree with the reviewers that state this is not a pure yoga practice, it is a decent workout for beginners or those of us that may not be as focused on technical correctness. While I do tend to vary widely in my own fitness level, for the most part even at the times that I'm most out of shape, it is do-able. Yes, the instructor does chatter on a bit, but that seems a positive to me as well--it helps me make sure my form is correct.
Having said that, it is definitely not a spirit-renewing sort of practice. At completion, I feel that I've done a decent job of moving my body, but I do not feel trance-like as I would after a David Swenson practice.
I would consider it an intro for a person interested in beginning yoga...you will get an indication of what the poses are like physically, but you may not experience the delightful mental and emotional side-effects of a true yoga practice.
Lastly, Crunch videos are always of good quality--no distractions from poor sound or videography.
 Good for Quick Workout
This is a good, quick workout if you're new to yoga or if you're not looking for a full yogic workout. This is more of an intro to vinyasa or for someone wanting a cardio workout without a lot of holding or flexibility practice. My heart rate was definitely up and I broke a bit of a sweat, but I'm spoiled by a typical 90 minute class with lots of poses and challenges. This a good "teaser" when you don't have time for a full 90 minute session.
