Great Value.......2007-06-11
I have to say this is probably one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon.com. Sara Ivanhoe is an absolutely charming instructor. I enjoy Yoga, but sometimes I just don't have time for a 45-60 minute routine. These routines fit perfectly into my workout schedule. I can do my cardio and then do a quick Yoga routine.

I would recommend this set to the advanced beginner and above. I really think you need to have mastered basic Yoga before attempting these workouts.

I love these DVDs. I find them to be a really easy & quick way to include yoga in your workout schedule. Sarah is a very competent yoga instructor, and her attitude is encouraging. The time flies by, and every workout is effective. Weight Loss and Power Beauty Sweat are my two favorites.
Great Yoga Workout DVD's!!!.......2007-05-18
I have bought a dozen (or more) workout tapes and dvd's in the past and used each of them maybe once or twice. But I LOVE these 20 minute workouts and do them faithfully nearly every day! I have a 5 disc dvd player, so I put them all in and alternate between them. I usually do 2 or 3 discs each time but sometimes if I have time I do all 5. I still try to go to the yoga studio at least once a week but when I can't these are perfect!

I've always been a bit skeptical of yoga, preferring instead to lift weights and run. But I got into yoga at a recommendation of a friend of mine in the military who says its one of his preferred activities. I found Rodney Yee's beginner DVD to be a little too slow. I've also tried live classes, but didn't dig the chanting and meditation too much.

Sara Ivanhoe's DVD's are a good solid introduction to yoga, and if you're in average shape, you can keep pushing yourself and notice real improvement in balance and flexibility. Now I'm totally hooked and do it several times a week. I would recommend her DVD's for someone who's looking to learn more about yoga and to push themselves into something a bit more challenging and that will help you build real strength and flexibility.

My wife says this is a great supplement to her daily workout. It strengthens and tones and at the same time leaves her feeling relaxed afterwards.

Description
When we sweat, it is a sign that our body is getting rid of unwanted toxins and fat cells- that calories are literally being burned. This is no ordinary sun salutation flow. Instead, it is a totally innovative program of arm balances, core strengthening and twisting postures that will aid in digestion and detoxification of the body. The end result - that radiant glow that we all want!
Customer Reviews:

Beginner Friendly.......2007-06-26
I give this DVD 5 stars. That said, I can see how other might not feel challenged enough by it. I'm a beginner and not in the greatest shape. This video was challenging for me, yet easiest enough that I could make it all the way through. Sara does give variations a few times for the more advanced yogi. I did break a small sweat and felt refreshed afterwards. I'll continue to do this DVD and recommend it to other beginner/intermediates. It's great when you're crunched for time.
Sara's quick workouts.......2007-02-09
I love this DVD. It is quick, and although it seems to be very easy, I have seen noticable, physical results from using her 20-minute videos 3 days a week.
For beginners who have decent muscle tone who want balance/twisting poses, not sweat.......2006-11-21
This is set on a glass in a tropical area with an ocean behind. Sara is alone with a matt teaching & no props are used. The dvd comes in 2.0 & 5.1 dolby & has health tips & for washing your mat.
After the 1 min intro, the warmup is simple seated side stretches & twisted sage for 2 min.
For 4 min, you then are kneeling on one leg & straight on the other, more side stretches & side plank (need good arm strength to hold whole body on one hand & sides of feet.)
Next for 3 min is wide legged forward bend, you twist your torso back & forth for more stretching of the hips & spine. Next is some simple breathing with arm movements in mountain stance. Then a mountain stance w/arm movements of warrior II.
Next is twisted chair pose, then eagle for 3 min.
Next is downward dog, simple lunge, hamstring stretch, cow stretch which is like indian style butterfly stretch for 4 min.
Next is dolphin which is like downward dog on your elbows with raising one leg at a time for stretch & strengthening. Last is kinda a cobra & pulling on your feet for stretching your quads for 3 min.
It ends in a seated meditation/mudra with your fingers in a simple pose.

The hardest part for me was the side plank only on my left hand. I didn't sweat at all or barely work except for that. When she did moutain style warrior 2, I did regular & seemed to have more flexability then her. I have been doing yoga 1-3x/week for about 4? 5? years & consider myself a beginner/intermediate in terms of strength but even better flexability.

I had trouble with getting into this dvd because I could tell she seemed distracted & not into the routine & she does not have the excuse of being new at doing this since she has made many other yoga dvds. The whole point of yoga is the flexibility AND being more aware of the moment & your body.

Nice 20 minute yoga practice..........2006-11-20
Power Beauty Sweat is another video in Sara's 20 Minute Yoga Makeover series and it's my favorite of the ones that I have tried. I wouldn't necessarily agree with the title as other reviewers but I still enjoyed this practice quite a bit. I really enjoyed the scenery which is a backdrop of the mountains and ocean in Hawaii, very colorful.

You start by sitting on the floor in a cross legged position, you will first do a side lean to each side then a spinal twist. Then you will come onto your knees for gate pose, where one leg is extended out and you lean over it. You have the option of moving into stage 2 which is putting your arm behind you, I personally skip this. Then you move into a side plank pose with a straight arm, this was tough for me, I may do this one on my elbow next time. The option of moving into stage 2 by putting your arm behind you is given again here. Gate and plank are then repeated on the other side.

Then you will stand for fan pose, adding twists to each side before moving into a standing twist. This is followed by chair pose twist, and eagle pose with a shoulder stretch. You finish out with a nice series of poses such as downward facing dog, lunge stretch, hamstring stretch, cow pose, dolphin pose and a quadricep stretch while lying on your front. Then you will end up in a cross legged position with a Mudra hand gesture.

I would consider myself intermediate at best in yoga, I expected this practice to be harder than it was, though some poses were tougher for me than others. But overall a very nice practice, I like doing this one in the mornings especially. I like Sara Ivanhoe as an instructor and seem to click with her style of yoga. Overall I give this one 4 and a half stars.
Quick but powerful.......2006-10-07
I chose this separate DVD because of price, the instructor and the 20 minute factor. I have been doing Yoga on and off for the last couple of years but have recently been doing it twice a week. I liked this DVD because the moves were not the typical sun salutations taking up the beginning and the positions were challenging. As an intermediate on the lower end of the spectrum the 20 minutes worked. I did not sweat but I felt it in my legs the next day. The short session can almost guarantee that I will do this frequently by itself or along with a 30 minute cardio. I will probably look for the set to see what the others are like.
