Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just recently started practicing yoga again after being away from it for a few years, and have been building a dvd library of yoga sessions. This dvd does not have the versatility that many other dvds offer. (i.e., being able to select from different workouts that might be 20, 30, 45, or an hour long, or focus on various areas of the body etc) this dvd does not offer any of these options. Further, when you choose to view the poses before you do the workout(an option from the main menu), he, Naader, just shows the poses one after the other (and shows the pose at the highest level) with no voice over, or text of what the pose is, the name of it, or how to properly move into the pose. And there is no example shown or verbally explained how to modify the pose for level of ability. Luckily this was not the first dvd I ordered, for if it was, I surely would have given up in frustration. He does the most unusual and extreme version of Sun Salutation I have ever seen. He starts out this beginner workout with a most unusual breathing exercise, that I might have been more interested in trying had he explained more about it, (ie when to breathe in or out, why your hands needed to be under your chin, and then bringing your head way back, anyone with neck problems would not want to try that in a beginning exercise,)He certainly is in fantastic shape, and is pleasant to look at, but that has no bearing on his teaching abilities that appear to be lacking severely in this dvd. Perhaps it's best to take his classes in person at his studio where you can get his individual attention. This dvd will surely be collecting dust on my shelf, as I don't even feel right about giving it away to anyone else, especially a beginner who might hurt themselves trying to copy what this teacher is doing on the screen. I would recommend any Rodney Yee, J.J. Gormley (from Body Wisdom) or Barbara Benagh (also from Body Wisdom)dvd.
