Yoga Made Simple - 4 Bite Size Workouts - for Beginners & Improvers - by TV Sports Presenter Alexandra Legouix - Fit For Life Series [DVD]

Good clear instructions good pace easy to learn and testing to do

Whole DVD is about an hour. I am a beginner and wanted to find something that would be easy and straightforward to follow, but something that could be done in small chunks if I only have 10-15 minutes. This is perfect! There are 4 sections; starting with some stretches, then some Core work, moving onto some poses to Energise and then a great Relaxation section at the end. The latter would be good as a wind down at the end of the day. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow, but challenging enough not to be boring. Some of the Core poses are repeated in the Energise section. My boyfriend has also had a go at the first 2 parts (there are 4 in total) and thought it was quite a tough workout. He says he's going to do it on a regular basis to keep him more supple. You are advised to work to what feels good for you so it can be as easy or tough as you make it - I had a heart incident a couple of months ago, so want to build up my strength more gradually. I certainly felt the workout the next day :)The only thing which would improve this for me, is if the start of the Relaxation section was a 'section' start on the DVD so you could get straight to it without the 'intro' before it, but I will just have to fast forward :)

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys yoga but also if you are looking for an introduction to it. With only a basic understanding of yoga this is the perfect level for me to do at home. There are also lots of moves to work towards getting confident with. It's perfect for dipping in and out of the different sessions when I don't have time to complete the full DVD. I love hearing the official names of the yoga posses throughout and make me want to learn more about yoga. Alexandra's direction is really clear, calming and reassuring. I've been enjoying this DVD and has assisted getting me back into my fitness routine.

I bought two of these by different teachers and I prefer the other. Alexandra takes things slowly which is valuable but I found myself trying to watch the screen and do moves at the same time which isn't ideal. However, I've been encouraged to start a live class.

I have been going to yoga for many years but unfortunately haven’t been for nearly a year because of COVID. I bought this and try and do one session everyday, it’s brilliant, only 20 minute sessions. Buy it now!

NOT FOR BEGINNERS!!!!I was very disappointed with this DVD after reading the five star reviews.The majority of moves are not for beginners. You need to have some knowledge of yoga, a strong core and fantastic shoulder and wrist strength.If you have any mobility problems in your back, neck, shoulders, wrists etc forget about this DVD. There is no way you will be able to do the moves. The instructor does not tell you how any of the moves may be adapted to accommodate possible health issues, and too often does not describe what she means.Example "Come into yourself", but the instructors does not tell what this means.If you are looking for a stretch DVD I would recommend the 10 minute solution Tone Trouble Zones. There is a wonderful 10 minute stretch section, and all the exercises are done with a body band to help aid strength and support. I also recommend Pilates Weight Loss workout for Dummies. The instructor is great, demonstrates before each exercise and has adaptations such as using a chair.As for this Yoga DVD, it will be going straight into the nearest charity shop!

As shown.o

Fantastic dvd.Unfortunately the packaging was just a simple plastic envelope and the dvd case was broken.
