Our Analysis

Exercise experts say yoga offers toning and flexibility at a relaxed pace, and they point to the Yoga Zone series as some of the best yoga workout DVDs on the market. The Yoga Zone instructor, Alan Finger, has taught yoga for over 30 years; this video emphasizes the mind-body connection and starts with deep breathing exercises. Each pose is described in detail and modifications are provided. Owners posting to review sites say that this video is an excellent introduction to yoga, but it doesn't offer as challenging or intense a workout as Billy Blanks Tae Bo Amped (*est. $40) or Kathy Smith Timesaver: Lift Weights to Lose Weight (*est. $15).

The Yoga Zone Introduction to Yoga exercise video (and the Yoga Zone series in general) is the top pick of About.com's guide to Hinduism among yoga DVDs. This video series also earns praise from owners posting to Amazon.com.

There are just two very positive reviews by Epinions contributors, who feel the Yoga Zone – Introduction to Yoga for Beginners is easy to follow, fun, and led by a good instructor. After a while, however, both reviewers seem to agree that the routine will feel slow.
