Product Description: Trying to learn yoga from a videotape could try the patience of a bona fide yogi. How to know when your form is correct versus when you are risking injury? If you can't do that downward-facing dog with your legs as straight as the model on the tape, what's the best way? This beginner's boxed set solves the first problem through detailed and careful explanation of the asanas, then sidesteps the second by having two different instructors demonstrate both advanced and beginning version of each pose. It's a thoughtful, responsible, safe approach, one that reminds students to go at their own pace and to pay attention to their own bodies. Soft-spoken, non-intimidating Alan Finger begins each of the Yoga Zone's programs by demonstrating proper breathing technique. He then guides students through a clear, logical, and appropriately paced sequence of poses, emphasizing correct placement rather than throwing or forcing the body into position. The Introduction to Yoga program covers most of the basic asanas used elsewhere in the series, including the potted-palm series, cat, dog, mountain, and triangle, while subsequent tapes move on to more advanced variations on these fundamental yoga building blocks. The Conditioning and Stress Release program systematically relaxes every muscle in the body, and the more vigorous Flexibility and Tone uses standing exercises like sun salutations to build heat in the system and promote flexibility. Finally, the two sessions included on the Meditation tape provide a welcome reminder that yoga is about much more than just working out. Unlike many videos that bill themselves as "introductory," these Yoga Zone tapes will leave neophytes feeling relaxed and renewed rather than clumsy and confused. This is the boxed set to buy if you're looking for a nuanced understanding of how yoga works rather than just sweat-drenched intensity. --Mary Park

Customer Reviews
Yoga Zone
I have had excellent results after using this program for three weeks. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning a Yoga practice.

Absolutely the Best Yoga for Beginners
I've only been through Yoga Zone's Introduction to Yoga and it is by far the best basic yoga instruction that I've seen. Alan Finger teaches in a simple, easy to follow manner and his team of Yoga practioners demonstrate the moves from basic to advanced. I've never seen anything like it on TV or anywhere else. Before I got this set I used to have Introduction to Yoga on VHS and I swear it kept me away from the chiropractor. I fully recommend it for anyone seeking to relax muscle tension while improving muscle tone. There's not a better way to start practicing yoga. I'm psyched on trying the other DVDs in the Premier Collection, but the "Intro" DVD just rules.

Yoga Zone-Beginer
I think this is a really good yoga video. The yogi is excellent at explaining the poses. My husband is a beginer, I bought it for him, and he actually uses it! I participate with him at times and find the video as a really good review for my more advanced home practice. Namaste!

LOVEN IT
"I have been taking a once a week class that I find to be "follow me" more than instructional. Being new to yoga I found this set to be great for a beginner and am looking for more DVD's with Alan Finger as instructor."

Starting the right way
I had started yoga using various different videos & DVD's, but I wasn't sure I was actually doing any of it the correct way. The Yoga Zone series was a new beginning that was welcomed with open arms. From the beginning, you are walked through breathing & the importance of how it is being done. The poses were taught with things to look for so that you were learning & understanding the correct way to do them. I absolutely love doing yoga with the DVD's & I can feel my body aches improving the more I do the series. I highly recommend this series!
