Benagh instructs this slow practice with careful attention to the details of breathing, movement, alignment, and transition.

The menu of selections for different level of workouts is very useful. There are 24 practice options that slowly walk every level person through a program. If you are unsure of how to do certain poses, this video is top quality in showing you the correct way to do the posture.
Recommended?
Yes, excellent addition to any yoga library.
Why Five Stars?
COMPREHENSIVE. Although there are some minor drawbacks this video is the best one of about ten I have in my library. I have all the big names and they do not give you enough workouts for your money. Other videos attempt to deal with individual issues by selling you additional videos or multiple box sets. Beware of those highly advertised names that cannot get a good comprehensive workout on one DVD/VHS.
Slight Shortcomings?
1. The pace is a bit slow but you do get a good workout with time to focus on your technique.
2. Most people interested in yoga understand that there are a series of sun salutations. These are a bit repetitive between the different workouts.
3. If they release another version of this they should consider having individual segments easier to access throughout the menu.
Competing Yoga tapes should?
PAY ATTENTION TO THIS FORMAT
Take a look at the format, which gives you options to do different workouts. For example "I have about 45 minutes and want to do a challenging workout." Or "I just have twenty minutes and want to loosen up a bit." Having this option is by far one of the best features of this tape.
BUY THIS DVD, take a few classes from different instructors. Register for yoga journal online (free). There are several good workout programs, if you are serious add a couple of tapes to your collection. If you are new, take your time. If you have some experience, try the challenging level for a good home workout.
Best wishes to you and yor practice.
Good luck, Good will, Namaste.
P.S. I do not author or sell any yoga programs.
