| DVD Description Clean white sand and a cool predawn sky are the backdrops for this stunningly produced video, complete with an upbeat New Age soundtrack. Don't be put off by the MTV-like camera work, as this video constitutes an excellent, well-balanced workout. Ali MacGraw and a supporting cast of something-for-everyone models work through this 50-minute routine, overseen by yoga master Erich Schiffman. The first minutes focus on ujjayi breathing, then MacGraw leads us through a complete practice of shoulder stretches, sun salutations, back bends and twists, and standing poses. No equipment is required, but a sticky mat is recommended. Unlike other videos targeted for beginners, Yoga Mind & Body does not offer modifications for difficult poses and so is best suited for practitioners with some previous experience. --Jhana Bach |

Very High Quality The torrent of highly favorable reviews speaks is silent testimony to Ali Macgraw's Yoga video. This reviewer agrees with most of the following comments but includes some cautionary remarks: My VHS version had very high production values indeed. The music was clear and peaceful, as was the desert scenery. The verbal commentary is helpful and calming. The cautionary news is that I found the workout too advanced. The stretches were held for too long and the poses too challenging. I have had back problems and was afraid to use the full range of motions offered here. I retreated to my admittedly very basic Rodney Yee tape. That stated, those previous positive review comments should stand. Ali's tape should be a very safe purchase for most folks- it just did not work out for me. And by the way, those looking for the preppy, collegiate Ali of "Love Story" and "Goodbye Columbus" won't find her. Time has moved on -- but the years have made Miss Macgraw an even more attractive lady than she was in the 70s. More power to her! Ali does take the lead on camera here, but shares part of the spotlight with four other individuals. This tape is apparently only available via 3rd party purchase. This reviewer can state from experience that amazon handles these transactions very capably. No one should hesitate to buy on that account.
You'd better be darn good... This DVD is visually stunning. It's beautiful. But you'd better be a very advanced student of yoga to even think of being able to keep up.
Want to Learn Yoga A worthwhile purchase to anyone who wants to learn the basic steps in yoga.I recommend this DVD to anyone interested in Yoga, but not sure how and where to begin. Practising some of the asanams in this DVD is quite rewarding. |
