 Perfect for the True Hatha Yoga Practitioner December 16, 2008
A. Williams
This is the best advanced 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.
 Not worth it October 13, 2008

I don't like this DVD because it did not flow together. It was broken up into sections and there was no continuous movement like other yoga workouts. I didn't feel too much of a workout because all of the positions were not held very long, and it was frustrating when I started to get into the yoga workout they would flash up another title to signify moving into a new section of positions and he would be in a completely different position than the one before. So I always had to break my concentration to make sure I could follow him and quickly move to get into the position he was in. I didn't like the commentary either. I thought it was incredibly lame and I almost couldn't concentrate. While I think the positions in here are great ideas and helpful in making my own workout, I won't be using this dvd as my workout. I wouldn't buy this dvd because I just don't think it was put together very well and it's not put together in a "60 minute yoga workout" kinda way. After doing it I thought it was more to help people make their own workouts. Don't buy it..I spent too much money on it and probably won't use it again. I bought a book that would help me out much more in making my own yoga workout than the dvd.

Naader understands Yoga so completely. His devotion and love for the practice shines through every move he makes. He is the real deal, and the routines he carefully but naturally explains make it easy to follow and leave you feeling incredible.
I recommend this to everyone, and if you are ever in Pasadena, CA, You should absolutely stop into his studio, Yoga Kingdom Sanctuary. He is unlike any other yoga teacher I've ever experienced- He's the best!
Not good for beginners or experience January 29, 2006

This was described as "Challenging." What I found were very basic poses and not challenging at all. He goes through a limited 5 min warm up of basically putting your fingers underneath your chin and lifting and lowering your arms under your chin. Then, it goes to some basic warrior poses, 1 downward dog, 1 warrior pose w/a twist, 1 balancing pose, and in the middle of it there is a corpse pose. To me, this was a let down - just as my muscles are getting warmed up he wants to wind down. At the end, there are some basic camel, rabbit, and twist poses before a corpse pose.
Additionally, he does not provide much instruction on the poses he is doing. Where your knee should and should not be, etc. So, for beginners - this is a definite no. I would recommend taking a class in person before buying any video.
I would recommend this DVD for people who want a very basic class without being challenged and do not want a work out. I've watched it 3 times now and I have added my own vinyasa when he does the corpse pose in the middle of the class.
I will likely go back to the studio I attend and see if one of my instructors has a DVD.
This is great!!! September 1, 2005

The DVD was wonderful. I do what Naader says, and WOW I am doing so much better than before. My Yoga experience has improved immensely!!! Its all about the breath that Naader instructs through out the DVD.
