Summary: Great interactivity and instruction on poses--plus it's fun!
Comment: Great Yoga DVD, especially for those new to yoga. I've had a good handful of yoga classes and my husband's had a few. We both really benefit from Bob's instruction, particularly on form. It's one thing to say, "keep your back straight," or "make sure you watch your form," but Bob instructs as if you've never had a yoga class in your life, which is good--both for newbies and those of us who aren't experts yet. He actually shows you what good knee alignment looks like. Or tells you how it should feel. I agree with one of the reviewers that it's a little awkward (okay, a lot awkward) to be in a yoga pose and have to look up at the TV, but that's really the same as being in class--I would have to look at an instructor to see what's going on sometimes--but after a week or two of doing this, you get the hang of it and know what to do.
The BEST part of the Biggest Loser videos are the interactive menus so you can select what kind of workout you want to do. What an AWESOME idea! Finally! Someone helps me cut out the stuff I don't need or let's me build a longer workout and it plays exactly how I selected it.
And hey, if you're a dude, you'll like this because Bob leads the session. It's not just for girls. (And not just for skinny girls either.) Besides, there's none of that swirly yoga-ish, indian flute music with perfectly carved bodies flawlessly moving from pose to pose. It's basic instruction (with light background music), and you see the other participants (past BL contestants) make mistakes along the way just like most of us do when we're taking a yoga class. So what if you put your right leg in the air when everyone else puts up their left. That's what I love about this DVD! While I'm sure they spent a lot of "takes" shooting the DVD, they didn't aim for absolute perfection. Hey, life isn't perfect and I've yet to have a perfect yoga class. The fact that I got my tail out of bed to even do this each morning is as much perfect I can expect right now.
Yes, there's a lot of "plank," which is actually good for weight loss yoga. I have to admit that my arms were killing me during a lot of the warrior 2 poses, but I turned to my husband and said, "Just think, in a couple of weeks this will be so much easier for us!"
ps: Bob's Biggest Loser Boot Camp is fun too!

Summary: Very fun, challenging, and motivational workout!
Comment: I've taken a fair share of yoga classes and I have to say this DVD is incredibly fun! I consider myself somewhat a beginner and found this workout challenging during the first week, and as time went on and I moved up in levels, the workouts remained challenging and engaging. Bob is absolutely great in this video! He is excellent at keeping you motivated and setting the right tone for the workout. You will definitely feel like you're burning tons of calories. I've sat through boring yoga videos with sleepy music, and this is not that! It feels up-to-date and stays fun the entire time, highly recommended!!!! :)

Summary: The Hardest Yoga Workout I've Done!
Comment: I love the Biggest Loser dvds and I purchased this one with the Bootcamp dvd when i found out they were coming out and let me tell you, I was especially surprised with this yoga workout! I did the whole 55 minutes and even being an advanced workout buff, I couldn't believe how challenging this workout was! I know I'm definately going to feel it tomorrow. Right now I'm rotating these with the Power Sculpt and Cardio Max Dvds and I couldn't be happier! I was actually sweating doing yoga, crazy good!

Comment: This is the first Biggest Loser DVD I've bought and I am not disappointed. I use this after biking and it really pushes me and really stretches me out. This is a great addition to anyone's collection.

Summary: Nice change up
Comment: I got this DVD for a change from the average Biggest Loser workout videos. I was happily surprised at how much I enjoy this video. I workout everyday and feel the Biggest Loser videos are generally a tough workout. I was afraid this one might not be as tough. I was wrong. It's right up to par with all the previous Biggest Loser videos. When I did the first workout from the Weight Loss Yoga video, I wasn't sure if it was doing much. I felt it the next day. I made sure to do all the other workouts and definitely felt it was working. It's a great workout! I am so glad I purchased it to add to my Biggest Loser workout collection.
