This is Gentle Yoga, but not for beginners.
I loved this video. But, I must say if you have never done Yoga before anywhere you would have to watch this video maybe 2-3 times before trying it. Without any previous Yoga experience this would seem like the wrong video. But, once you are accustomed to it I think it is a great video.

I wore this video out.
This video was my first real introduction to Yoga and I love it. I didn't have a problem with the pacing. If I had problems with a pose I just backed the video up, watched her carefully then tried it myself. Everything takes practice and yoga is no exception. I hope the reviews by the people who had problems with the pacing won't turn you off to this video. Please keep in mind that this is not an introduction to yoga video. Just because it says beginner in the title, it doesn't mean that it's an introduction to the basics video. If you have most of the basic down then this video would be a wonderful addition to your home practice. I, personally, don't use this video anymore - I wore the tape out. I considered repurchasing it but instead, I took it as a sign that it was time for me to move on in my yoga practice. I would purchase it again though.

Rocket Speed Yoga
I was originally only purchasing a YogaKids tape when I saw this "Gentle Yoga" tape. So without any research, I purchased this tape. Instead of being a relaxing 30 minutes, the host rushes the viewer from pose to pose and all the while she constantly says breath in and breath out- she also doesn't say whether you should be breathing through the nose or mouth.Finally, the picture quality of the tape was grainy. Save your money or at least find another tape.

Excellent with a little practice and patience
I was troubled when I began to use this video, because of the confusing pace and the constant reminding to inhale and exhale, but after a week or so of practice, I began to see the benefits. It takes a little practice, but if you stick with it, you'll find that Ms. Deason's instruction is perfect for those who plan to use this video on a routine basis. If she had gone slower, or added more instruction within the workout portion of the video, I would quickly become annoyed with having to listen over and over again to how to perform a pose I'd been doing for weeks. Don't give up! You'll find that you no longer need to look at the TV at all, and the gentle instructions (especially "inhale" and "exhale") keep you calm and centered, and in the rhythm of the practice. I am trying to lose a significant amount of weight, and although some poses are more difficult to attain due to my size, I have found that this exercise puts me more in touch with my body than any other I've tried.

Definitely NOT for Beginners
I have purchased other videos from this company and been extremely pleased with them. That's why I decided to buy this tape for my sister when she inquired about video recommendations to start a yoga practice. Fortunately I tried it out before sending it on to her. I never did. It is definitely not for beginners. I have had a regular yoga practice for three years and it was too much for me. I found the verbal cuing impossible to follow. And it is highly undesireable, if not impossible, to have to constantly look up at the tv screen while trying to do yoga.
