Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss (Spanish Edition)

The fact that this was set in Sedona is why I initally chose this dvd. Though it does state that yoga alone won't gurantee you loose weight, I've found it has helped me become a lot more flexible and I feel better after doing less than an hour of the workout. My only complaint is the fact that there is a little icon that pops up on the screen and if you push Enter on the remote it is suppose to take you to another scene where the instructor explains the move in more detail. This option does not work on my dvd play and it's only about 3 years old at the most. Other than that I'd say it's worth the money.

"Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss" promotes weight loss and body reshaping through regular yoga practices. The author presents a single program for all users, no matter their flexibility, experience, or fitness level. Suzanne Deason and three fellow instructors show you a series of moves that along with the proper technique may result in a challenging workout that will give you more energy and help you stay in shape.

The author believes that in case of overweight people there is an internal imbalance between mind and body, so it uses the therapeutic applications of yoga in order to fix this imbalance.

The workout has four difficulty levels. The "Fully Modified" workout is for people who have hamstrings or tight hips, the "Partially Modified" program is for those whose flexibility improved, the "Slightly Modified" program is for building stamina and strength, and the "Complete Workout" is for people with experience in yoga. A ten minutes warm-up and a fourteen minutes cool-down are necessary for all four types of workout.

You also find in this material a mini-nutrition guide, a weight management guide, and tips for healthy eating.

I love Susan Deason's verbal pose cues and commands. However, I was very frustrated that I could not access the Personal Instructor Feature on this DVD. When I saw that logo in the bottom right hand corner, I pressed "enter" (as the instructions direct you) to no avail. Next, I tried every button on my DVD remote - to no avail.

I emailed Gaiam about this 4 days ago and have not yet received a reply. That truly does NOT impress me.

Buyer beware with this video!

I absolutely LOVE this DVD! Along with a healthy 1200 calorie daily diet, I have practiced this DVD every single night since May 22, 2007 and to date have lost over 30 pounds and 12 inches off my waist. I started with ease and have worked my way up to following Suzanne thoughout the session. My back has never felt stronger and it is finally rewarding to look forward to doing a relaxing yet rewarding exercise EVERY night. However, I would like to know what type of Yoga Suzanne is practicing so that I may add a few more difficult poses to my routine. I would also love to know, since I am counting calories, approximately how many calories are burned during this 45-minute routine? I would love to know, as well, if Suzanne has a Power Yoga DVD. I enjoy her as an instructor and would prefer to follow her as I become more and more flexible.

Again, I definitely recommend this DVD! It has brought me confidence and literally makes me stand a little bit taller.

I have both the book and Dvd to this series. I love the differant modifications. It makes it very easy to follow no matter what fitness level. I also love the outdoor setting of the workouts. It is very soothing and beautiful.

Included on the dvd is a great interview with Suzanne. She talks about her family's struggle with weight loss. Her own views on weight managment and of yoga.

This dvd is not designed to help you loose weight. It is designed for people that are overweight or even out of shape a great first step towards exercise. It is designed to help you slowly condition your body to get to the point of being able to do a regular excerise plan. Yoga is also a great way to be build a mind and body connection.

I adore this series.
