Customer Reviews

A lovely yoga routine which suits almost everyone
This is one of the best yoga DVD's I've come accross. I have concerns about beginners and those with little experience of yoga trying to learn postures from a DVD but the postures on this are easy to follow and perfect. I find it challenging physically but also very relaxing which some of the more "power orientated" yoga DVD's are not.

I would recommend this for beginners to intermediates.

I like this dvd
I bought this a couple of years ago after having a baby and I'm still doing it now. I found it very relaxing and pleasant to do and its good you can choose a section depending on your mood/time issues. Another good thing is that you can do the postures without having to constantly look at the tv as Leah's commentry gives an adequate description without spoiling the ambience of relaxation. I'm sure I will be doing this dvd for many years to come, the novelty still hasn't worn off yet unlike many other fitness videos I've tried.

Relaxation at its best
I have previously been a big fan of Barbara Currie's Yoga workouts, but fancied a change, and decided to give Yoga and You a try. I did not expect to enjoy this DVD as much as I have. It is very different to Barbara Currie in the way that the moves are so unhurried and (seem) effortless! Each position is repeated several times but rather than seeming repetitive and boring, it is extremely relaxing and therapeutic.
I particularly like the way that the narration and breathing instruction are run over the top of the DVD, rather than Leah talking whilst she's carrying out the exercises, and her voice, the music and the settings are exceptionally relaxing. The instructions and clear, relaxed and simple and the attention given to the breathing is excellent.
When following the DVD for the first time, I was concerned that I was perhaps not getting much out of the Yoga, other than winding down and relaxing. However, I put this to the test and can honestly say my flexibility had improved greatly by even just the end of the first 2 sections. So, not only was I getting a good stretching workout from the DVD, I was also totally relaxed by the end of it too.
I will definitely be looking out for Leah's next Yoga DVD, and cannot recommend this one enough.
