Description / Details:
Beth Shaw's YogaFit® Workout takes you step by step through the popular YogaFit® Classic routine, from breathing and warm-up to heat-building exercises, deep stretches, cool-down, and relaxation. YogaFit® students demonstrate how poses can be modified to meet the needs of beginning and advanced students and how props such as blocks can be used to strengthen and relax tight muscle groups. During the challenging 43-minute video, you'll have the opportunity to try a yoga/fitness routine like you've never experienced before--a routine of three sections or mountains for you to climb. This will be followed by the "essentials" of the YogaFit® program. In other words, you'll learn the right way to perform the six basic yoga poses required. The "essentials" have been placed at the end of the video so you don't always have to fast forward to get to the routine. You can watch the "essentials" section once, and then go back to it only when needed for a refresher. For your convenience, a handy timecard is included with the video so you know exactly where to find what you're looking for! "I encourage anyone striving to reach a higher level of fitness to give YogaFit® a try," says Shaw. "Before beginning the program, however, it should be understood that the word workout is used in its literal sense. YogaFit makes you sweat--profusely at times. But when you're finished, you'll know you've done something good for your body...and you'll always want to come back for more."

Reviews summary: I liked it
Comment reviews: I liked the video. I have a few videos from Gaiam and I think they are horribe although led by some pretty prominent yoga instructors. I like the YogaFit videos because they are more laid back and I like the instructors voice (Beth Shaw right?). Her voice is nice and mellow and motivational to me. I definitely prefer it over my other videos.

Reviews summary: great video
Comment reviews: I don't think I would recommend for someone who has never attended a class. But then again I wouldn't recommend any video for someone who hasn't attended a class. It's impossible to demonstrate every single aspect of a pose in a video when there's no one live to correct you. However, if you already know the poses well and want to practice at home...this is great. It's a lot of fun, the poses are great and challenging, I like the choreography and the music is really good. It's one of my favorite home videos.

Reviews summary: I think it's great
Comment reviews: After all these years and after many videos from other yoga people like Baron Baptiste, Sean Corne, Shiva Rae and Richard Freeman....this one is still my favorite. It's easy to follow while the others are over complex and people like Baron Baptiste didn't do anything but film a yoga class and is now selling it. This YogaFit video makes you feel good and Beth Shaw gives great modifications. I really don't like it when people overly complicate yoga in order to make themselves appear more knowledgable. This was the first yoga video I ever did and it will always be my favorite.

Reviews summary: The Bad Reviews are SO bogus
Comment reviews: I happen to know that these bad reviews are coming from jaded ex-employees who are trying to start their own yoga trainings and studios. They obviously never matured past 7th grade if they feel the need to post negative things about Beth Shaw on AMAZON of all places. She has never had liposuction (obviously someone is very jealous of her abs) and she is not anorexic. Unless you know anything about anorexia...anorexics don't eat enough to put on the amount of hard muslce that Miss Shaw has. So GROW UP PEOPLE.
The book is fabulous and gives a very detailed break down of all yoga poses and the video is just the same. If you're into old fashioned yoga-this isn't for you. If your into yoga explained like a fitness pro and without all the "sanskrit" language...then this is your ticket. I have done yoga videos from everyone from Sean Corne to Shiva Rae and Beth Shaw's yoga video is SO MUCH EASIER and far better because she doesn't act like a "know-it-all" diva.

Reviews summary: Not the Best Buy
Comment reviews: The tape simply isn't motivational for a beginner or even an advanced beginner. The instructions are poorly presented and the alignments are incorrectly performed. Also, the routines don't flow
smoothly from one pose to the next. It's not an enjoyable experience and definitely not recommended.
