Denise Austin Yoga Body Burn

I just did this DVD this morning and I know it will be one of the DVD's I keep coming back to. What I love about this DVD and other Denise Austin yoga DVD's (Fat Blasting yoga, Power Yoga Plus) is that her yoga is DYNAMIC...meaning moving instead of just holding a pose for a long time. I know many do not enjoy this way of doing yoga and they feel that Denise moves too fast. They would rather have the traditional type of yoga that is more meditative and holding poses longer. That is understandable and that kind of yoga is wonderful, too...but on most days when I want to feel energized (in the mornings) and get a good yoga workout in quick, and in a very fun way, I choose Denise Austin's yoga DVD's. The more meditative, restorative, holding the postures for longer I do in the evenings when I have more time and want to relax. There is a lot of value in this DVD. There is the basic body burn (20 minutes), yoga abs (10), yoga legs (10) and yoga relax (10). Today I did just the body burn and yoga abs and I felt I got a great workout and was ready to face the day. I really appreciate how I only needed 30 minutes to feel great. I also like how I can do any segments I want and get a nice, quick, refreshing work out in. All the segments are interesting and fun. I believe in all of them there were new ways of moving I have never done before. I love that. If you like dynamic vinyasa...flowing fun yoga...then this DVD should not disapoint. Read more

I first bought this DVD around 2008. I’ve kept the same one for years until a couple months ago, when I looked everywhere but couldn’t find it. I don’t need to watch, but still listen to the direction. I was so glad to find it available on Amazon! It’s just the perfect yoga workout!! I’m currently on my 9th day in a row of yoga and loving it!! Read more

Really nice video. It has a 3 20-min sections: one cardio, one abs and one legs; and one 10 min section of stretching. It has a cool feature that allows you to select which sections you want and plays it consecutively, so you don't have to stop and select the next session to start in the middle of your work out. I also like that you can chose to play it with music only, or with the spoken instructions. At first I though Denise sounded a little to perky and obnoxious, but it works well in the work out. I'm young, but not into exercise, and half way through the cardio section and I was out of breath. I thought I did enough work for legs in the cardio and and haven't felt the need to do the legs section yet. The only thing is that it is a bit fast for yoga, not very true to yoga tradition, in my opinion. So it's more of a workout than a yoga video. If you are really into yoga, and looking to deepen your practice, this may not be the video for you. If you kinda like yoga, and want a workout video, I think this is great! Read more

Just finished these workouts for the first time, and I love it. As always, Denise's instructions are very good. This is not for the beginner though, learn the basic yoga moves before moving on to these routines. She flows at a very nice pace and believe me, you will break a sweat. I completed all four workouts one after the other, and felt great after. The relax/cool down is just enough. Each routine is not too long, but enough to get a great workout in. I purchased this to change up my routines during the week, and now I can complete more yoga workouts. I workout hard, aerobically, weight training, yoga and walking, and wanted to add more stretch to my weekly activity, and this dvd surely does just that. Those who enjoy yoga, will benefit from this workout. Read more

I was already fairly familiar with this one, as I had seen the online version. I ordered the DVD because I was tired of internet lag. (Always seems to happen in the middle of difficult positions!) I like the fact that Denise Austin encourages you during the entire workout. Love the fact that she emphasizes that yoga is about what YOU can do. I LOVE the fact that the workouts are customizable. Feeling ambitious? Add one of the 10 minute workouts to the original 20 minute workout. The original workout is what I call a "Goldilocks Workout" Not too short, not too long, just right. All in all, I'd say this was a good workout for people with a little yoga experience already under their belts. Read more

This is in my workout rotation and I do it 2 to 3 times each week. This is not the typical yoga workout; I consider it a yoga cardio workout. I like that I get a chance to do several different yoga moves (instead of doing only 2 or 3 moves for the entire workout), and I like how she moves quick to "generate heat." You can do one full workout or 3 individual workouts with a bonus relaxation workout. The main workout is 20 minutes and the others are 10 minutes each. I enjoyed doing the main workout on youtube and decided to purchase the DVD. I don' t think this is for beginners, but if you like yoga and have some experience and want something other than the typical yoga workout, go for it. It's a great price for what you get out of the workout. Read more

My dvd was delivered with a very flimsy case that was cracked Read more

I really like the fact that you can choose your workout individually or do all four together, depending on how much time you have. I've always liked all of Denise Austin's workouts. They're the right pace and are identical to the classes I've taken. She does a great job of demonstating and encouraging. Read more
