Totally Dissatisfied
The speaker is very bad, the music, not good.
The actual routine goes too fast.
How do they expect begginers to follow this routine?

excelent guide for the foundation of Hatha practice
Not only is this video made with great love and serenity - but technical accuracy and safety. Anyone of any level of experience can benefit from this video. For the beginner, the asanas are explained and demonstrated in a conscise fashion and for the more advanced student, give an ideal study of proper free flowing form. So often yoga styles give pretense to be the only accurate guideline as to proper technique. Sivananda Yoga makes no excuses or apologies - simply offers yoga in its pure form. Relaxation, good health, a loving heart and the growth of the self. Not physical perfection as the goal but as a tool toward greater spiritual happiness. These basic Asanas and Pranayama will give ANYONE a strong foundation of the family of postures and lead one into the logical and progressive understanding of variations in any style. As a yoga teacher, I highly reccomend this video for anyone interested in learning about the experience of Hatha Yoga

too quick for me
This video is good if you already know the moves. It moves very quickly and uses some difficult postures. I've done yoga for a long time and couldn't keep up with it. The breathing excercises were good and so was the scenery but thats all I enjoyed.

Beauty of Yoga and Nature fused in the Bahamas.
Conveys the serenity of the yoga experience in a beautiful natural outdoor setting presented by two very talented practitioners. Second half of the tape contains the same sequence of asanas to follow as a practice session based on the earlier more tranquil presentations and explanations.
