Great way to get started on yoga!
This is the first yoga tape that I've ever done. The workout was challenging, and, yes, truly relaxing. After all the stretching, my body felt less tense. Wai Lana is a very serene instructor; her voice is calm and soothing as she guides you through the poses. I'm not very flexible, and I found the poses manageable. The only part I wasn't crazy about was the musical meditation at the end. I found it more distracting than relaxing. I recommend this video and plan on using it again.

Wai Lana Yoga : Relaxation Workout
I absolutely love Wai Lana's Relaxation Video. There is something soothing about her voice both in her instruction and singing that makes me look forward to my yoga session with her everyday. The breathtaking scenery, music, beautiful outfits along with Wai Lana's personality makes this video unlike any I've seen before. The poses are not too difficult but I still feel like I've had a good workout when I'm finished, making my body feel great and definitely less stressed. I will highly recommend this video to anyone taking up the practice of yoga.

Different, fun, relaxing
This DVD is less strenuous than something like Baron Baptiste or Brian Kest. It moves along though and you aren't just sitting there meditating. There are some different moves in this DVD like bicycling your legs and side leg lifts that seemed strange to me in a yoga practice but when I did them I found that they really relaxed my back and hips. There wasn't much sitting in a pose and holding it--instead you did active things like rolling up and down, or rolling back into a kind of halfway plow pose and then opening your legs into a "v" while you are up there. Wai Lana has a heavy accent but I could still understand her for the most part. At first I thought she is silly with her bright outfits and singing but then I started really liking her because she has such a happy expression on her face and she gives off such good energy. You won't be stretched out and exhausted like at the end of a power yoga workout but instead a feeling of calm and happiness comes over you. I recommend this for a nice change of pace.
