Customer Reviews

reminds me of "Swami Bananananda" of SCTV
I got this thinking it would be a good intermediate yoga work out. Instead it turns out it's a series of contortionist stunts and frozen poses you've seen in men's olympic gymnastics on uneven parallel bars. If you can put your foot behind your head is the prerequisite to this DVD. From there, you extend the other leg, lift youreslf up like a pushup on 2 hands and hop around. Also jumping into handstands from a seated position, and various other contortions while doing handstands.

The production quality is POOR, a dark interior background with clay pots sitting around. The video is grainy, like it was videotaped back in the 70s and more recently unearthed and dubbed to DVD.

The photo and intro sequence shows a pastoral scene by a lake - but that ends there. The rest of the DVD is just ugly. I actually felt sick after watching it and trying to follow along and I've practiced yoga for 20 years. It's like watching a master contortinist with no expression or joy. Finally i said why am I doing this. THis is terrible. I can't believe I paid for this DVD.
