Title notwithstanding, Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss isn't likely to promote weight loss any more than lots of other videos will. But that's not a knock--it merely reflects the fact that anyone who practices yoga regularly and conscientiously can both shave off some extra pounds and significantly reshape his or her body. With four different instructors simultaneously demonstrating a single program, each providing different modifications of the same poses, Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss delivers a thorough, well-organized practice that can be undertaken by users at all levels of experience, fitness, and flexibility. After a gradual warm-up sequence, Suzanne Deason and her fellow instructors lead you through a series of standing asanas, back and forward bends, twists, and so on, with the proper technique and function of each pose explained clearly and concisely. The result is a workout that's challenging but not overwhelming and that should stand up to plenty of repeated use. All in all, another good offering from Living Arts. --Kelly Welldon

 A great, manageable yoga DVD for daily practice November 21, 2008
Irina Dumitrescu (New Haven, Connecticut)
This video spent some time gathering dust on my shelf before I finally tried it. When I finally did, I loved it, and this may well become my "go to" yoga video for busy days.
I happen not to like "flow" videos so much, and it seems most yoga DVDs out there are exactly about that. I love the feeling of breathing into a pose, and the challenge of using my muscles to maintain a strong pose for a little while. Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss gives me just what I need: a good combination of standing, sitting, and lying poses; lots of twisting poses (which I've also found lacking in flow videos); a few poses which gently, but powerfully, build abdominal strength.
The video allows you to do the workout at different levels of modification, which means that you can measure yourself to someone at your level as you check your position. It's hard to know if you're doing a pose right if the only model you get a yoga master, or if the modified pose is somewhere behind the yoga master (hard to see on a small screen). Almost every breath is cued, which I also appreciate, and Deason keeps up a running commentary with advice on what you should be feeling and doing during each pose. Her voice is soft enough that you can ignore it if you wish, but I found her suggestions very useful for working on strength and balance, especially during standing poses.
And, the entire thing is only forty-five minutes long! It really fits into a busy day, and is wonderfully restorative. I'm not sure what it does for weight loss, but I can tell you that I feel physically good after doing the video, with just the right combination of energy and pleasant fatigue.
 Yoga not for weight loss November 11, 2008
Matthew E. Taylor (Arlington, VA United States)
This title is completely misleading, and this video does not feature anything especially arduous--that anyone would think would lead to weight loss (per se).
It is a decent beginners yoga DVD, that's it.
Unfortunate Title, Great DVD September 21, 2008
Grandpa
I'm just finishing up an eight-session introduction to yoga. Since money is an issue, I decided to continue my yoga practice at home rather than at a studio. I searched for a good DVD to follow.
After a lot of on-line research, I selected this as my first DVD. I wasn't disappointed -- this is a great DVD for me. I'm 62 and not overweight. Does it include any advanced work? No. Does it emphasize weight loss? No. Does it give an excellent yoga session, from beginning warm-up and breathing exercises, move on to an active yoga session, then finishes with a cool-down session including relaxation? Yes. It also includes additional backup material to assist the student.
Will this be my last yoga DVD? No, but for now it's perfect.
Tone & Learn September 19, 2008
Georgetta Claburn (Evanston)
This DVD is wonderful if you would like to learn yoga and gain strength/toning. The instructor is clear in her instructions and I was able to follow along. After using it awhile I found the poses were falling to place and felt myself progressing. A very good choice if you want to learn from a fabulous instructor and I am very happy with this DVD.

I love this DVD, i lost it and just had to order another because the other ones i have are not as easy to follow. She is an amazing instructor. If you have never tried yoga before, Suzanne is by far, the easiest to follow.
