Product Description
Product Description
Suzanne Deason presents this holistic and natural approach to weight loss through a series of yoga exercises. These exercises will help achieve and maintain an ideal weight while increasing stamina and energy.
Set Contains:
Living Arts's Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss is a fantastic example of how DVD features can be used to enhance a workout program. The same workout is presented five different ways, and you may choose the combined (which shows all four modifications), complete, slightly modified, partially modified, or fully modified program. The four modifications each focus on a different instructor, and the audio instruction explains the specific moves for each level. At any point during the 45-minute workout, you can press the "angle" key on your remote to switch to a different modification level, enabling you to get the best workout you can without straining yourself. In addition, at times a small "personal instructor" icon will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. By pressing enter, the program switches to instructor Suzanne Deason in the yoga studio who carefully explains how to do the pose. Each of these poses are explained based on the level you are watching (for example, at the fully modified level, Deason will demonstrate the pose using bricks or straps). All in all this is an excellent use of DVD features and a great way to grow with a yoga program. --Jenny Brown

However, yoga IS the perfect exercise for both mind AND body, and practiced regularly, it WILL provide wonderful improvements in body tone, strength, balance and flexibility, not to mention increased calmness of mind. It was intended to be practiced as a smooth progression of poses, to be held for periods of time, that require concentration, strength, balance and flexibility. It was meant to strengthen both the body AND the mind and to assist connection with spiritual practices.
To me, as an experienced practitioner, this workout is absolutely perfect. The postures are sequenced perfectly and held for a reasonable amount of time. But the big plus over other videos I've tried is that there are other women (of various shapes and sizes) in the background performing each posture at a different level - beginner, intermediate and ultra advanced. They also perform them with blocks, straps or other props that a beginner or intermediate person might need for safe performance of the postures. She also CUES for the other levels so you don't have to keep looking up to see what they're doing.
I bought this when it was released years ago and wore it out - I'm buying the DVD version because the VCR tape won't play any more. It's not too long, not too short, and I love the relaxation/meditation that it ends with.
IF YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT YOGA, THIS IS THE VIDEO TO BUY.
I happen not to like "flow" videos so much, and it seems most yoga DVDs out there are exactly about that. I love the feeling of breathing into a pose, and the challenge of using my muscles to maintain a strong pose for a little while. Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss gives me just what I need: a good combination of standing, sitting, and lying poses; lots of twisting poses (which I've also found lacking in flow videos); a few poses which gently, but powerfully, build abdominal strength.
The video allows you to do the workout at different levels of modification, which means that you can measure yourself to someone at your level as you check your position. It's hard to know if you're doing a pose right if the only model you get a yoga master, or if the modified pose is somewhere behind the yoga master (hard to see on a small screen). Almost every breath is cued, which I also appreciate, and Deason keeps up a running commentary with advice on what you should be feeling and doing during each pose. Her voice is soft enough that you can ignore it if you wish, but I found her suggestions very useful for working on strength and balance, especially during standing poses.
And, the entire thing is only forty-five minutes long! It really fits into a busy day, and is wonderfully restorative. I'm not sure what it does for weight loss, but I can tell you that I feel physically good after doing the video, with just the right combination of energy and pleasant fatigue.
In addition to the poses being clearly explained, the instructor continually reminds you to breathe and focus. The setting (in an Arizona desert) is stunning, and the music is calming and fits the workout well. Specifically, at the end of the workout when you are instructed to stay in Relaxation/Corpse Pose for as long as you like to relax, the instruction ends but the program continues with music so you don't feel any discountinuation.
The only negative comment I have for this DVD is that it is too short. If you do all three sections back-to-back, it only amounts to about 40 minutes of activity. Most advanced students of yoga I know practice for 1-2 hours at a time. I always feel at the end like I could have continued for much longer. I have not been able to find a DVD that lasts more than 45 minutes anywhere, though.
Because the program is short, I have not experienced noticeable weight loss after about 8 weeks, but I have noticed a significant increase in flexibility, strength, and serenity.

Don't know about you, but I'm not terribly fit, or a stick, and that was one of the reasons I got this DVD over others. One of the best things about it is that there are four levels of workout, which one can work through depending on flexibility/ fitness/ how you feel that day. This makes it a fitness DVD with great potential to grow with you as you improve. Plus there are additional tips you can access to improve your practice throughout the DVD.
Suzanne Deason is a very good instructor, she talks through the postures with care and attention, but without being annoying or doing that terrible 'look at me and how supple and fit I am' thing that many fitness DVDs do. Nor is it simply an excuse to wear pretty yoga clothes and look at the scenery as so many are. It's practical and achievable, focusing on mind-body connection to bring well-being as as much as fitness, which is very important for those of us who see gyms, aerobics and treadmills as mechanical processes which don't help us to want to get fit. This is a practice you will want to do, because of the sense of relaxation and being in the body which it leaves one with.
The poses are challenging because they are held for a 60 seconds or longer, I was used to the fast paced Rodney Yee Yoga.
Suzanne gives lots of pose advice along with safety tips (never turn your head in bridge pose) A great DVD for the first time yogi.
