NOT beginner, please don't buy July 23, 2010 Sarah I am a beginner to yoga and it was recommended to me to start with Hatha. I started taking classes at a studio and they have been great! For each pose we are given options. Sometimes I need the pose altered so that it is easier, and sometimes I need it to be more challenging. This is important for people just getting started with yoga. I have since fallen in love and cannot imagine ever not doing yoga. It's fantastic. I wanted to buy a video so that I could continue practicing at home in-between taking classes. This video seemed like a good option, but PLEASE do NOT buy this if you are just starting. ESPECIALLY if you are not also taking classes at a studio. I truly believe that if I was not taking classes, and had only bought this video to get started, that I would not still be doing yoga today. I would have thought that I was not capable of doing yoga and I would have given up. This video is NOT for beginners. It is nothing like taking a class, and obviously no video can be like taking a real class, but this video is just not geared towards helping beginners. Some of the poses are difficult and he does not offer any alternative if you are unable to make the pose he is doing. Please don't waste your money. I do HIGHLY recommend Hatha yoga. It is changing my life and how I feel every day. I feel calmer and healthier. If you can, take beginner classes at a studio, and look for a different DVD. I wish I had one to recommend but I too am still looking for a better option. Good Luck!

Perfect for the True Hatha Yoga Practitioner December 16, 2008 A. Williams 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Great for beginners! This is the best Hatha Yoga tape that I have experienced. I have been taking Hatha Yoga classes off and on for over 8 years and I was looking for an in-home program. If you want true Hatha Yoga instruction this is the video for you. I say "true" because today's/Western yoga just gets you through the postures. Hatha Yoga is not just moving through different postures, one is supposed to hold the pose and meditate in each posture for several seconds and eventually minutes. Hatha Yoga is the practice of bringing together the body, mind and spirit through breathing, the postures and meditation and this video is the next best thing to a Hatha Yoga class.
If you want a real Eastern Hatha Yoga experience in the comfort of your home get this video.
Awesome!!! October 27, 2008 Mary C. Holmes (Long Beach, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
All of Naader's DVD's are stupendous. Just make sure and pick the one that's right for your level of practice, and you can't go wrong.
"beginner" hatha yoga review May 9, 2008 S. Ramirez (Austin, TX) The description does not fit the video content. This was suppose be a beginners guide, but the exercise is a bit advance. Don't get me wrong it's a great DVD but my wife and I needed a dvd that was for TRUE beginners.
The poses were a bit advanced for us.
