boring by M. Putnam-Todd (Boston, MA)

The content is quite good but extraordinarily boring. I was excited about getting to use weights in a yoga class, but this wasn't a class. It was more like a series of exercises with yoga names popped in. I teach yoga and was very disappointed. I think if you have a serious amount of weight to lose it would be helpful but would take a while to be able to do many of the moves--especially the floor moves. Stick with a class where you get to move your body and not just pick up weights. Now what am I going to do with the weights?? I guess take them to the studio. :)

Three unique programs incorporate yoga with strength-building moves by Beth Cholette (Upstate NY USA)

This kit is an offering from lifestyle company Gaiam and yoga instructor Jill Miller. Although Miller's name may not yet be immediately recognizable, she has quickly developed a strong fan base built on both her personally-produced DVD series, Yoga Tune-Up, and her subsequent collaboration with Pranamaya. Miller is known for her knowledge of anatomy and movement and her ability to impart this knowledge while teaching yoga. Here she takes her teachings a step further than ever before by adding a strength training component designed to facilitate weight loss. The Yoga for Weight Loss Workout Kit includes three components: the workout DVD (in a simple cardboard sleeve), two 3-pound purple handled "push-up" weights, and a round purple 8" x 3" foam yoga block (Gaiam calls this a "bolster," but Miller refers to it as the "disk" during the workouts). The DVD contains two workouts, each just over 30 minutes in length. Miller describes the first workout, Functional Strengthening, as a session to focus on toning the buttocks, core, and arms. For the second workout, Kinetic Conditioning, she states that you will be "consciously sweating." Finally, the DVD also includes "Core Connect," a bonus abs segment. All three sessions are filmed outdoors, and Miller is teaching in bare feet, with the only other equipment needed being a yoga mat. This kit definitely offers something from Jill Miller that we haven't seen before. She does an excellent job of staying true to her yoga roots while still providing challenging, strength-focused workouts. I'm not convinced that these workouts would be likely to produce weight loss per se, but they could certainly be the foundation of a beginning strength program. Furthermore, even more advanced exercisers will likely benefit from Miller's skill in taking the body through unique ranges of motion and providing superb functional training. Although some of the moves in these workouts are probably a bit too demanding for new exercisers, overall, Miller is quite accessible, and I would recommend the Yoga for Weight Loss Kit to a fairly wide audience.
