Should be a staple of your collection. The video features more advanced poses, like headstand, but these can be modified/skipped. This video is my all-time favorite. It gives your muscles a nice stretch and includes creative strength work.

Schiffmann is impeccable. Superb instruction. Don't be intimidated by the word "backbends." You don't have to do a wheel. Lots of asanas to improve back flexibility and strength.

I use this weekly. It's done completely seated. Well-chaptered. I use the 10-min. neck sequence at least weekly. Xllent for desk workers. One of my favorite restorative practices. Gentle. Therapeutic.

Not as intense as Bryan Kest. You do hold the poses for a long time though. I recommend this video for advanced beginners and low intermediate students. The toughest move is a wheel. Lovely cinematography. Soothing.

This is a good "reference work" DVD. It's just under an hour and includes detailed instruction on how to keep the shoulders and neck aligned in several foundational poses like downward dog, warrior, and bridge.

This is a good video for Yoga Zone, which tends to cater to beginners. It's challenging. It has tons of chair twists, good leg workout, and is filmed outdoors. I still use this one occasionally. Drawback: the instructor's giggles seemed artificial and, long term, they are distracting.

If you like Shiva Rea's Yoga Sanctuary, you'll love this. I only did sections 1-4 plus savasana. Sections 5 & 6 were too advanced (handstands, etc.). Highly recommended.

Music only (no workout). There are a lot of mediocre yoga-inspired CDs on the market. This one is worth purchasing though. The music is beautiful and uplifting. Xllent for fast flows. I love this CD.

This is a good video for beginners who are physically fit. This was my first video and I still return to it every now and then. It is not challenging for the intermediate student.

Features the ENTIRE Ashtanga Primary sequence, one of my favorite forms of yoga because it is very challenging and increases strength and flexibility quickly due to its intensity. Downsides: pace is VERY fast, so that I often feel rushed. No music. 90 min. Many moves are much too advanced for me.

Good power yoga workout. Really gets the heart rate up. A little cheesy. Poor production quality, but does the job.

20 min to 1 hr practices on 1 DVD. Vinyasa style. Not bad, but some of the shorter practices don't sequence well. Queing average. Mediocre overall. I prefer Rea, Pyle, Anderson, and Peterson.

Mediocre overall. Lectures not useful. Nice CD with music. Four 15-min. challenging practices. Felt there wasn't enough of a warm-up, esp. for morning practices. These short practices would be fine if you did your own cardio warm-up first.

Very advanced. Didn't care for Blanchard's videos because of his aggressive personality. I got rid of most of my Blanchard Sedona PPY DVDs for precisely this reason. No music. Good as strictly athletic style workouts, but instructor seems artificial.

I didn't like this DVD because it was much too esoteric for my tastes. The DVD is 72 minutes long and Gurutej Kaur talks for a long time between poses. The focus is on breath. Form is not discussed and is not really important in Kundalini yoga. Nothing really physically challenging in this video and Gurutej seemed more vacuous than spiritual.

I decided to give Seane Corn another try. I didn't like this video either for the same reasons.

Ditto. Not too bad. A decent workout, but instructor's peppiness (a la Denise Austin) would bother me long term.
