This Yoga video is great. I decided to get it after I read all the good reviews and was not disapointed. Sara Ivanhoe is a fantastic instructor. You don't need to be straining to look at the TV screen the entire time because her explanations are very thorough and you can follow along by just listening to her. Her voice is soothing and calming as she leads you through the poses. We all know the health and relaxation benefits you get from Yoga, this video has that and a good workout that makes you sweat! What is also great is that you can do this whether you are a beginner or advanced. There are modified poses for those who want more or less of a challenge. At the end of the video, there is a wind down and brief meditation leaving you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. This is the complete Yoga workout that you'd hope for.

I own nearly 20 yoga tapes--and use them, nearly every day. This is my second Crunch yoga video and both of them are terrible, but this one is particularly bad. I am not one of those "deep" yogis--I do it for exercise, mainly, and not really for the breathing and meditation aspects--but this is the most un-yoga-like video imaginable. It treats yoga like an aerobics class. That aside, the workout itself is very lame and has no flow to it, the sequence of poses is awkward, and by the time a vinyasa has finally been pieced together, the tape has ended. The only fat this tape could possibly burn is from your wallet.

Though not a bad workout for beginners, I expected much more from a routine touted as 'fat-burning.' The moves are very basic, and there's very little flow - the whole quiet peacefulness of yoga (which is it's real power) is lost in the too-quick movements. It seems as if what the instructor lacks in difficulty she tries to make up in speed.
And let's talk about the instructor, shall we? She seems knowledgeable, but her weird vocal lilt and incessant giggling is just downright irritating. Her instructions are relatively good, but the moves are so basic that shouldn't be too difficult. I'd recommend the Buns of Steel Power Yoga if you're looking for a good yoga workout, or any from the Bryan Kest series.

Crunch's Fat Burning Yoga mimics Yoga by speeding up traditional poses, as many Yoga-for-weight-loss programs do, but this one fails to provide the gentle stretching essential for any exercise program. And since Yoga is supposed to be stretching, I debate the use of the word in this routine. I have Fibromyalgia and have been doing Yoga for over a year and have never hurt myself...until I tried to keep up with this video. Within the first five minutes of the routine I pulled the muscle in the back of my thigh.
There was also a lack of meditative effects, which is also key for Yoga. It's the benefit I most appreciate.
The workout did, however, raise my heartrate at a comfortable pace, so I assume it would help in weight loss. I would not recommend this to anyone other than the youthful and the fit who are looking for variation in their workouts.

I have used this video many times over the 6 years that I've owned it and, while I will agree with the reviewers that state this is not a pure yoga practice, it is a decent workout for beginners or those of us that may not be as focused on technical correctness. While I do tend to vary widely in my own fitness level, for the most part even at the times that I'm most out of shape, it is do-able. Yes, the instructor does chatter on a bit, but that seems a positive to me as well--it helps me make sure my form is correct.
Having said that, it is definitely not a spirit-renewing sort of practice. At completion, I feel that I've done a decent job of moving my body, but I do not feel trance-like as I would after a David Swenson practice.
I would consider it an intro for a person interested in beginning yoga...you will get an indication of what the poses are like physically, but you may not experience the delightful mental and emotional side-effects of a true yoga practice.
Lastly, Crunch videos are always of good quality--no distractions from poor sound or videography.

I have done numerous yoga videos over the years, but this one by far has to be one of my favourites. For me the principle reason why I think this is such a motivating video is down to the instructor. She is extremely motivating, in a very calm and reassuring way. She has an extremely soothing sounding voice which still motivates you into pushing yourself that extra mile. In fact you feel as though she is right there with you.
Of course, the moves and sequences are great and excellently explained. Don't be fooled if you watch the video through first. It looks fairly routine and basic, but it really does stretch you. I had aches and pains in all the right places the next day, but felt completely rejuvenated immediately after doing the video.
Of course, the video only lasts 45 minutes so is ideal for fitting into a busy day.
Worth every penny/cent/Euro!

This video is very slow and certainly not fat-burning. The instructor is the most annoying I've ever found in an exercise video. I am not a yoga expert but an intermediate and found this too easy and not motivating at all. Don't waste your money.

I just received this video yesterday and I was eager to try it out this morning. The moves provided me with the focus I needed and I came away feeling refreshed. The instructor made sure that proper breathing was the first priority which is so important in making any yoga movement more fluid. The downward facing dog pose was featured throughout which had me feeling slightly uncomfortable in the neck area. However, I believe that is due to tensing the muscles instead of relaxing and breathing. Yoga takes daily practice and with this tape, I believe I will become more grounded. I highly recommend Fat Burning Yoga !

やっぱり同じ身体を動かすなら楽しくて、かつ、効果のあるものをえらびますよね。yogaはやり始めて効果がないとは思えません。簡単そうに見えますが結構きついですよ。でも、楽しめます。
