Yoga Journal: Fitness Challenge 3 DVD Set



not so good
I really like Alexandria Crow, but this dvd isn't a good representation of her ability as a teacher/instructor. This is run of the mill "exercises" instead a mind body connection of wellness~which is the entire reason for practicing yoga; in fact that is what yoga means "yoking" all of that together.

Good for supplemental fitness, but not an exclusive program
These workouts are nice, but at 20-30 minutes each, they are not long enough to give me the sense of a thorough workout and total body relaxation that a 60 minute, rigorous vinyasa/power yoga session gives me. These workouts might be good for an advanced beginner/ beginning intermediate level yoga practitioner who wants to build endurance, or for someone who needs shorter sessions due to time constraints, or for someone who is interested in less intense forms of asana-based yoga. The presenters are pleasant and the workouts are well-cued, with a nice variety of asanas.

More like calisthenics rather than yoga
This is not my favorite YJ video. I much prefer the strength and toning one. I was looking for something with shorter practices to do on days where I am short on time, but the practices in this set are not very inspiring. Too many yoga poses are used to do "reps". Made it seem more like an exercise class rather than a short, intense yoga practice. I didn't really feel like I was building heat or strength in any of the practices.
