 Invigorating
Cyndi Lee has created an invigorating 80 minute yoga workout for beginners and intermediates. However I think this is much more for intermediates to advanced practitioners. The pace is fairly fast and I was only able to do 45 minutes and I'd consider myself intermediate. You really need to know how to do all the poses which makes this too complex for beginners. Most of the time I was not watching the screen because the cuing was so good I was able to follow along quickly. I don't see how anyone who is a beginner would manage to do the exercises without becoming completely frustrated. Intermediates will however find lots of fun challenges. The flowing sequences energize the body and if you get too worn out you can always take a break in child's pose. The 80 minute workout starts with breathing exercises and then focuses on poses like cat/cow, tree, downward dog, mountain pose, plank, cobra, upward dog, awkward chair, warrior 1 and warrior 2. The sun salutations are fairly fast and quickly heat the body. There are also inversions and backbends. If you decide the main class is too long there are seven other options including one specifically for relaxation. So again, this is NOT a beginner workout, this is not relaxing - this is invigorating! I would only try this DVD if you have a few years of yoga experience.
~The Rebecca Review
 Challenging and Mindful Yoga Class!
This is the perfect DVD for when you are between studios, when you have decided that you have had enough of spiritually-tinged "workout yoga" or "power yoga"; and, judging by the prices of their classes now, the feeling just might be mutual. This one is mellow but it rocks your socks ... gets ME to sweat, anyway !
This is also the DVD that supplants the studio (... so where has it been all my life?) ... Although I do have a quite serviceable - if I may say so - self-sequenced home practice class that I have preferred over the years, THIS is the one yoga DVD that gives it a lot of competition. And as one reviewer mentioned, it does grow with you as you progress ...
I am no beginner, having practiced yoga regularly for over 3 years, and I tried the entire 80-minute session. It was amazing ...
Cyndi Lee is quirky and endearingly droll in her presentation. There is plenty of encouragement in using props and modifications; and, just as I do, she subscribes to the middle way between stillness and action.
It's a most centering practice ... and I feel the wonderful effects for hours afterwards ...
I love this DVD!
Cyndi Lee is one of my favorite instructors and I own most of the products that OM has created. She is a sweet and playful instructor that has created a great blend of yoga that almost anyone can do. There are modifications for some of the more challenging poses in the series which can be very helpful to a beginner. DVD contains some fun extras too - a tour of OM, an intro by Cyndi where she goes through a yoga sequence, shorter class options, etc. Overall, I think this would be a good addition to anyone's yoga collection.
 OM Yoga
This is not a beginner yoga dvd. There is not enough instruction on how to do each pose or proper breathing techniques. She rarely smiles! I would not recommend this video.
Great Asana, Cyndi Needs to Shut Up
Overall, this is a great Asana with challenging pose sequences.
A few gripes:
1. The instructor (Cyndi) will not shut up for 5 seconds! It's hard to get into the poses when she is constatly speaking (often times not about yoga at all).
2.It gets old. There is really only one class on the DVD and it gets old fast.
