Firming: Great advanced soothing yoga workout for energy
I had trouble finding this & barely knew she had this advanced "fun challenge series".
This VHS suggest you master her 3 dvd beginner "easy" & 3 dvd intermediate "hello fitness" series first.
From other reviews on her other DVDs, you know she has a soothing voice with an accent that I didn't have trouble understanding, the views are gorgeous & she always tells you great info about body placement, even chinese medicine/martial arts/qi gong terms. She also tells you what organs or parts or systems of the body each pose works on as you do it to keep you going. Her soft speaking never intrudes your concentration. The music is light new age, mostly dominated by piano or string instruments.
The poses done are: extended side laying leg stretch, stretching dog (upward dog w/o torso on ground), locust, bridge w/1 leg up, bow, plough, shoulder stand w/o arms, lying angle pose (plough w/wide legs), half locust fish (fish w/one foot in groin), threaded seated spinal twist (arm under bent knee), side angle, standing forward bend, warrior 3, crane, a short light meditation, 5 step lotus stretch (stretching foot to chest, face, outward, groin & then ends in her signature seated chant song.
Reviewer's only complaint in her other series is too much makeup & colorful outfits. Some had trouble with her accent, but I who usually do, did not.

Very effective video
This video is very effective and does firm buttocks, legs, chest and abs. As with all Wai Lana videos, the instructions are very clear, progressive and best of all, you never feel rushed to keep up with the instructions. The session ends with a seated meditation. When you're done with this workout, you really feel great! It has several asanas that are not common on most other yoga tapes out there which is a nice break from the routine poses. They are more difficult that in the beginner tapes so I would not recommend this video for beginners. This is more of an intermediate or low intermediate tape. The scenery is breathtaking, the music soothing. Overall a high quality tape.

A Great Workout
I have been practicing yoga for a little while but I can't always make it out to a class due to my busy schedule. I find that using videos at home is an excellent way to keep up my yoga practice and I have to say that the Wai Lana yoga videos are the best I've ever used. They are the closest thing to being in an actual class. They are beautifully produced with clear instruction, wonderful music and lovely scenery.

I just did the Wai Lana Firming workout video and found it to be a challenging and very productive workout that employs yoga poses to help firm and strengthen your body. I'm looking forward to doing this workout again and I definitely feel that with regular practice, this Firming workout will really help you firm up and get in shape.

Thanks Wai Lana! You are a great instructor.
