- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2012Unfortunately, I cannot review this program from the perspective of a true yoga expert...honestly, when I bought this DVD, I was just interested in adding some new life to my old workout routine. I was also interested in learning about yoga, rather than the "yoga-based" workouts that I'd done in the past, but that still came second on the priority list. Anyway, I am absolutely blown away by Element: Yoga for Weight Loss! This program has now taken the place of all other DVDs that were once in my rotation (although I still do a separate cardio routine). The instructor is fantastically knowledgeable and encouraging and gives prompts right on time. The workout is challenging and SO rewarding; it is truly a full-body blast. Also, there are enough modifications presented that I feel as though I have plenty of room to grow with this routine. Yoga for Weight Loss is something that I actually look forward to doing everyday--I seriously can't wait to do it!
Now, I am a mom of four little boys, so I really have to MAKE THE TIME to work out (no snacks for 45 minutes, people, don't even ask--that's the rule!), but my kids really love this routine, too. They are always trying to keep up, which makes for great comedy--but more importantly, it makes me feel good to see them taking an interest in such a wonderful practice. As for results, after one month of performing this workout for an average of 4 times a week, I can see some positive changes in my body; I've noticed some increased muscle definition and I am slowly seeing an increase in my flexibility, but--and I never thought I'd say this due to my inclination to work out for vanity's sake--what is more impressive to me is how I FEEL now. I am so much more relaxed in my daily life. Now that I have been so inspired by this practice, I have started to read up on the tradition of yoga so that I can hopefully grow and truly appreciate the history and methodology in its entirety; I realize even scratching the surface is a lofty goal, but I'm going to have a go at it! What more can I say, go ahead and experience this now, you have everything to gain!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2011A rank beginner, both in yoga and in exercise videos, this DVD gave me exactly what I expected and needed.
I have attended 16 or so yoga classes prior to this video, so I at least knew some of the moves. A few were new to me. But, the video covered them in enough detail to do them even if you did not.
I found the best way to approach using a video, as this was my first time, was to watch the video through once and then the second time, do the routines. Initially it was fast, but later when you know the routines, it is the perfect length.
One issue I had is with the breathing. The duration between breaths that the instructor said to take and what I needed to take, was not in sync. Maybe when I get better, I won't be gasping quite so much. Not sure if this is a common thing or not. Suspect it is more of a conditioning thing.
I'm an overweight woman in my 50s and to go from downward dog to warrier pose, is not as gracefully as the yoga instructor shows. However, I get there my way and this video works for me. I was drenched halfway through and had to towel my face off. Anyone that does not think yoga is not strenuous has not done it. The chair, table and superman pose and the warrior dance (variations on the warrior poses), are one heck of a work out.
Having read complaints about the intro, I don't get the big deal. Subsequent plays did not even bring it up.
Can't tell you yet if you lose weight from this, but after I use it awhile I will repost.
AN UPDATE:
Having purchased even more videos, this one really stands out. It is one complete workout that I can do. As I said I am overweight. I also, have issues with my knees and really rigid ankles and feet, but, I can do all of this workout. I can't say that about other workouts. There are some other beginner videos that have kneeling poses, or some more extreme poses (despite their beginner label) that I just can't do. Additionally, the pace is reasonable. She keeps you moving and working out. Some other videos had one convoluted pose after another, that though I have been through the video 2-3 times, I can't quite get, nor keep up with. This is a keeper and one heck of a workout.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2009The core of this workout is acceptable power yoga with the usual vinyasas--sun salutations and dancing warriors. It's fine for beginners with some yoga familiarity, has an acceptable flow, though there's little here I haven't seen in many other power yoga DVDs. Turner has a calm voice, gives some form pointers and cues well. I wouldn't recommend this to an absolute yoga beginner, but it might be all right for a first power style practice because the pace is slower than some.
Every "Element" DVD I've seen has been a worthwhile product.
I was annoyed though by Turner's introduction, that she teaches "celebrities," and is a "mind/body expert" holding a Master's degree in psychology. I can skip the ego display, thank you. Her affirmations, sprinkled throughout the practice (presumably evidence of this formidable mind/body expertise) were similarly juvenile to me. Anyway who claims herself a mind/body expert has just proven she isn't one.
I wish video instructors would teach without talking down to their audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Yoga DVD
I've been doing Yoga for many years, in addition to many other physical activities. I don't need to lose weight; I just wanted to try a different type of Yoga. I've done this Yoga once and I liked it very much. I don't think it is suitable for beginners or someone who had never exercised before, as it is very strenuous, though it's a personal choice. This DVD definitely works for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best yoga video I've purchased to date
This is the best yoga video I've purchased to date and I've bought a lot of yoga videos in the last several years. The backdrop for the video is gorgeous, it's filmed in a garden with the ocean in the background. This video is about 45 minutes long which is just right for me in terms of timing. I've got some 20 minute exercise videos that don't feel long enough and I've got some yoga videos that are more than 60 minutes long that I never do because I don't have that kind of time. My favorite types of yoga poses are strengthening yoga poses however, most yoga DVDs don't hold the poses long enough for me. This video is different. The teacher whose name is Ashley Turner, does something I've never seen before in any other video or class. For example, in one sequence you move into warrior pose and from there, you move into reverse warrior and then into side angle pose and then back into reverse warrior and then into side angle pose again all the while holding your legs in warrior pose. This creates a great burn in your thigh as your doing it which helps to build muscle. Also, the instructor gives you a full body workout. There are strenghthening poses for every major muscle group included on this DVD including thighs, butt, stomach, arms, waist and back. I plan on purchasing some other Element exercise DVDs because I love this one so much. The only thing I will say is if you are a beginner, this DVD is not for you. You'll need to start with something gentler or take some yoga classes first to make sure that you understand proper alignment. I will say that the instructor on this DVD provides excellent instruction but if you are in a forward bend for example, you can't see the t.v. to be able to see how to transition to the next pose and you have to rely on voice instruction only. This is a great intermediate level DVD. If you want to start with a beginner's DVD check out Element Mind and Body Experien or Element: Am and PM Yoga for Beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid yoga workout
I purchased this DVD along with a few others for my at-home practice and I am glad I did. The pace is just right - she allows some time to ease into the movements with forward bends and light sun salutations, then gradually increases the effort. I like that she has you hold the poses for a short length of time, rather than always moving in and out of poses like some routines do. The "dancing warrior" sequence alternating reverse Warrior and Side Angle is wonderful. The table top pose, abs, and locust/back bend sequence is also a great addition. There is no Warrior I in this program, only Warrior II, which is an interesting alternative.
Overall I am looking forward to including this as a moderate, less intense workout in my yoga week. It is a great balance of exertion and moderation - definitely builds heat and muscle work, without the vigorous movement of some of the powerful flow yoga routines - I love Rodney Yee but just can't do his power yoga every day! I also enjoy her meditations and reminders to be mindful and think positively about your body, these are good reminders many of us neglect.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yoga for Weight Loss
I like this video alot, I began doing yoga about six months ago and was looking for increased flexibility along with a good workout. This dvd delivered, it is just the right length for me as I like to do some extra stretches on my own at the end. The instructor was very good even the sound of her voice was motivating without yelling, the moves were easy to follow but there was little instruction as to how to do the poses, so you should know the basic yoga poses before you begin, but lots of suggestions to improve your postures and maintain your poses correctly to get maximum benefit. Everytime I do this workout I hear more tips and suggestions to maximize the pose and get your best workout. It is not really for flexibility as much as for increasing your heart rate along with many motivational tips during your resting periods.

I liked her stress and flexibility series so I bought this one.
This takes dedication. Some of the poses are difficult.
It will require commitment to make this work.
