"The actual yoga practice on this DVD is beneficial but entirely too brief, in my opinion. the actual practice is only 20 minutes. The cover notes say there is a total of 1 hour and 5 minutes of content. The rest is an interview with Susan Deason and a "how to" section for using yoga props. This is a very mild practice and using the props is very easy and really doesn't require any extra help. I couldn't care less about an interview with Susan Deason. The "special edition" DVD I bought was also supposed to include a 60 minute pilates workout with three 45 minute variations. If those on on this DVD, they didn't include a selection button on the DVD menu. A bit disappointing."
My kids beg me to do this with them!

"This little gem has made bedtimes easier for the kids, and life a little less hectic for me. I see some of the ratings are a little low, saying it is boring... well, the speaker is calm... so if you're in it for a work-out, look elsewhere. If you want to get yourself in a calm, relaxed mood, this is the one for you.
Recently, a family member of mine was murdered. Nights before days in court, I couldn't sleep. This really helped me ease the stress of the day, and calmed me to where I wasn't so stressed out about facing the murderer in court & his family. I know most of you won't have that sort of stress going on in your life. But if it worked for a worry-wart like me, I am sure it'll work for you :)"
Wonderful Stress Relief Practice

"This yoga practice is perfect to do after you wind down for the day or before heading off to work (I would suggest maybe starting with a few sun salutations to warm up the body before beginning in order to get a good stretch). The cueing is great and even though the practice is only 20 minutes you go through a lot of different poses: Triangle, forward bend, warrior I, downward dog, side stretch. I would reccomend this video to anyone who wants to unwind and relax."
It Really Works!

"I usually do not have the attention span for or any interest in yoga, but this DVD really does work. I recently went through a very stressful period, and doing this DVD really helped calm my nerves. I feel totally relaxed after doing it. I recommend it to anyone who needs help relaxing. It's easy, it's quick, and it works!!!"
Relieved the stress

"This is a very relaxing video, only issue is there is a lot of prop use and no mention that they are needed on the cover.
Also kind of quick. Would be better if it had a review of the positions first and slowed down a bit."
