"This is the same dvd as " yoga dance fusion". I have already checked this with the Gaian site, So if you have Yoga Dance Fusion, you have this dvd, but with a different name."
A Decent Advanced Yoga Routine

"This is a decent- but not great- moderately advanced yoga routine. Unlike so many yoga DVDs, this isn't your basic sun salutation routine. Moreno incorporates interesting leg lifts, lunges, plank positions, and squats into the lower body segment that I were challenging and enjoyable. However, Moreno's instructional skills are horrible. She is constantly talking- constantly giving instructions that are complicated and hard to follow if you're not watching her (which you're not), such as "swan dive up and back and deep lunge with heart forward shoulders back eyes to knees," why doesn't she just say "forward lunge" or "forward bend" and then give form instructions while you're in that position? Also, the routine can get repetitive after 35 minutes- your muscles start to yearn for something new and challenging. Overall, I'm sore after I do this routine; that is, if I can make it through Moreno's convoluted instructions."
A calming, strong workout for any amount of time

"I was interested in yoga, though I had never seriously tried it before, and I received this DVD as a gift. I decided to try it out and I loved it! I didn't find the instructions particularly hard to follow, and if I was confused I took a second to look up and reposition myself. After the first time through each workout I didn't have a problem following the instructions.
I love having the option of a 30 minute workout or a 50 minute workout, and both are relaxing and challenging at the same time. Overall, I have found this DVD to be a great daily workout for my mind and body, and I'd recommend it to anyone!"
Excellent Yoga Workout

"I LOVE this workout! i started with it on exercise tv on demand and i've already decided to buy it when it is no longer available there. when i started out i could barely get through it but now i find it challenging and refreshing. the music is good, the background is beautiful, and the instructor's voice is relaxing to listen to. my thighs and buns already show more definition. i just wish it was a little longer but sometimes i rewind it and go through the entire routine an extra time.
Update: I was given this DVD off my wishlist and had to change my review to 3 stars instead of 4 because the full workout is very slow and not cardio by anyone's definition (or dance). the workout I had done before was the express workout which I still really like doing. And the bonus yoga stretch is pretty good. But I honestly don't think I will do the full workout again because I didn't care for it. And in the full workout she does have some strange phrases that she repeats a lot. I thought it would be the same as the express workout just longer but it is completely different."
