I Felt Like A Fish In Water 
Yoga has never been my strong suit, but with this very engaging DVD, I felt I was in good hands. The techniques are presented with much clarity and care and I also had a great time doing this. There is an active quality to this type of yoga which keeps Type A's like me interested. So, whoever you are, beginner or long time yoga person, I'm confident you will find this one extremely useful and that it will never collect dust on your DVD shelf.

Great start for this beginner
I used to do yoga in France, but I never tried to exercise with a DVD. Well, this DVD changed the way I used to practice yoga. I exercise in the morning before going to work and I enjoy the "Deep Relaxation" chapter in the evening. I would strongly recommend this DVD for 2 reasons: easy to navigate through chapters with the matrix menu option and the exercise are easy to follow. Great workout and great music!
Thanks Ravi & Ana for sharing your experience...

Not for me... 
... and not for beginners, in my opinion. I have very much enjoyed the yoga classes at my gym, but they are only once per week, so I was looking for something I could do at home. The instructor is a nurse and well versed on how the poses actually strengthen the body and increase health. This video was more what I would call "new age" or "spiritual" - I definitely should have researched the style before purchasing, as other reviewers have recommended.
I also did not think this would be a very good video for beginners even if this is the style of yoga that you are looking for. The instructor does not explain proper form very clearly (if at all) and moves through many of the poses very rapidly. A beginner might hurt themselves trying to go at that pace and without proper form.

An Absoulte Must-Have for Beginners and Beyond!
I love this DVD! The entire routine is divided into the following-
-Breath Primer (a description of Long Deep Breathing and Breath of Fire)
-Tuning In
-Warm Ups
-Rise and Spine
-The Five Tibetan Rites
-Deep Relaxation
-Meditation
-Closing Prayer
The "Rise and Spine" section would be a good place to begin for those new to yoga or not used to much physical exercise (my category).
On the other hand, the Five Tibetan Rites is where the "Beyond" bit kicks in- after my first time I landed up with a headache and sore muscles. I guess I tried to do too much in one go. The key lies in gradually building up your stamina...so don't give up!
The other great feature about the DVD is the matrix option which allows you to choose a combination of the above-mentioned sets and customize your yoga routine. Just be sure to read all the instructions on the insert.
Peace!

Much Better than a Chiropractor 
Five years ago a back surgeon told me that my L1 disk was so herniated that it was not a question of `if' but rather `when' would I have to have back surgery. Since I started using this DVD a year ago, I do not think I will ever need the surgery.
When ever my back starts hurting me, I throw in the DVD and do the warm-up and the basic spinal series. Sometimes I can feel my spine adjust back into place within the first couple of exercises. Of course the muscles might continue to be sore for another couple of hours, but usually I am fine after that.
I have also noticed that if I practice it on a regular basis my back does not get out of whack in the first place - so I would also recommend as a preventive measure.
I also have the Kundalini Yoga With Gurmukh DVD, but find that I like the more meditative disposition of Kundalini for Beginners and Beyond.
Setting expectations:
1. It's not a hard core yoga DVD, especially the first 25 minutes or so.
2. It's a different kind of Yoga than main stream, focusing on energy development and mindfulness rather than powerful forms.
3. There is a lot of time for meditating and breath practice.
4. Some of the stuff seems a little weird at first, but the benefits are so incredible, I tend to overlook the weirdness of hit.
5. Anna Brett could put on more clothes, but it's really not a big deal - just kind-of awkward when I recommend it my neighbors and people in my church.
