Gaiam Yoga For Weight Loss Kit

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)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.

The dvd is easy to follow. The props are good quality and the dvd instruction is qued to perfection. I would recommend this to yoga practitioners at all levels.

I love this kit because it goes a step deeper than just talking about Yoga moves; it teaches you a new level of respect for your body and looking at it in a whole new light with each move. Jill expresses herself in a way that helps you channel into yourself as Yoga was meant to do, but she does it in a way that promotes weight loss, strength building, and stretching; something I have never seen before with workout DVD''s.

After doing this for several weeks, I feel like my circulation is better and my body is not as tight and stiff, which is really nice. This DVD is perfect for someone who doesn''t know anything about Yoga and would like to get started as it creates a whole new chapter to the weight loss process that is very important: a respect for your mind, soul, and body during a workout. It is easy to lose respect for yourself when you are overweight, but this DVD helps you re-gain that respect for your body and teaches you the importance of taking time out to nourish your body, mind, and soul especially when you are making life-changes.

The workouts are challenging for someone who is out of shape like I was, but they are a perfect start to help you break free from a stagnant lifestyle. The DVD also has more challenging workouts so you can progress with it as well. They also are not too long, so if you are busy, you can keep up with it. Lastly, the environment that Jill conducts her video is just beautiful and relaxing, so you really feel relaxed and ready to start the day.

This doesn''t seem very "yoga" to me. It is more like squats and regular workout excerises with weights and the circular disk. The instructor is pleasent and tells you exactly what you are going to do before you transition. She gives a nice little history behind the "moves" and tells you the Sunskrit (spelling?) names.

I did feel muscle burn after using this product. If you really want this for weight loss though, you will need additional excerise routines and a diet plan.
