One of the BEST Yoga video's for any stage. Soothing and great instructions. We buy this people we recommend getting into yoga long term for Health reasonsWe have been using these routines for over 45 years!

I always attempted Yoga but found I didn't like standing for minutes at a time with my left ankle behind my right thigh. This is NOT that type of yoga. It's slow moving and breathing, it's encouraging and challenging enough. You control the amount of the challenge too. I find it to be enough of a work out where I am not winded but I feel so good all over when I'm done. I don't like to miss a day since I can feel it. Also, I stopped doing this for a while (I was learning Tai Chi) and found that I had frequent neck and back aches again. As soon as I went back to this form of yoga, the neck and back aches were gone. It takes less than a half an hour to do each work out. If something is difficult, you can still move through it either because you tell yourself it's only for a few seconds, or the instructor tells you that it is a challenging pose and to just do what you can. I have found that i have a better attitude in life, I am calmer, and certainly more healthy when I do this 5 or 6 times a week. Then again I have read that this is a moving meditation, and that it works like acupressure-healing those parts of your body where you may subconsciously be storing pain or anger. Sounds a little out there but I don't question it. It works.

I, like several other people, had recorded tons of Namaste Yoga on my DVR before it died, only to find no showings of it when I needed it the most- 2 months after having a baby and days before my husband was due back from Afghanistan. I tried other yoga programs, and I've been to classes, and nothing compares to this. I firmly believed that I could only work out to angry and loud music to a fast pace and Namaste Yoga completely changed my opinion. I looked forward to doing this every day, and felt more calm and centered afterwards. For me, that was amazing. I wanted to eat better, I wanted to be more active, and I had more energy for the day. Now that my son is 7 months old and the last 8 pounds of baby weight is stubbornly stuck to my hips and thighs, my wonderful husband handed me his debit card and said "You should get that Yoga dvd. I know you want it." I can't wait for my son to take a nap because the second he goes down, I'm putting this in!

I used to have Nameste Yoga on DVD and loved them but I don't have a player anymore. I am glad to find them on Amazon for a great workout anytime.

I loved this series when it was on tv and was really happy to find the dvds. Beautiful scenery, relaxing background music and graceful flows. I first purchased season one and after several months wanted more variety so I purchased seasons two and three. Season two has my all time favorite sequence (warrior), but I love all three seasons.Season two is very similar to season 1, with the same warm ups and cool downs and a few more progressive poses.Season three has a new narrator. It also has additional scenic settings , new warm ups, cool downs and lots of new poses.

The Namaste Yoga tapes are the only ones I seem to come back to over and over again as the years roll by. Initially I lost 70 lbs just doing them (which resulted in my taking better care of other lifestyle changes along the way). At first all I could do was kind of stretch in place standing for a minute. My goal was to put the tape in every day, first thing in the morning before I had a chance to talk myself out of it...and do what I felt like doing. After 3 months I got 15 minutes in and was surprised at myself. I'm an older woman who'd pretty much lost hope . With that, I eventually did an entire session daily and my spirit changed as my mind changed as my body changed. This is a beautiful video and great way to explore Namaste in your home. At least it's proven time and again to work well for me.

I have just started using the second season set. I am a fan of Namaste Yoga series anyway - and this season set does not disappoint. No matter what, at the end of the 20 minutes you always feels as if you have had a deep yoga workout in body and mind. I'm at an intermediate level yoga-wise and can follow along easily. There are some poses I do not have the flexibility to do - but, I have learned to adjust to my body's ability and there are hints throughout to allow you to do only as much as you can - which is why I love this yoga series.

I absolutely love this yoga series. I've done yoga for many years, my first ones were on VHS tape, pre-DVD. I'd had dozens of them over the years, searching for just the right one. THIS is the right one. It's done beautifully. The camera angles allow you to see how to do each step. They move smoothly. The work out at every level is excellent. The scenery is calming. Even the voice of the narrator is absolutely perfect. If you've had a dozen or so yoga DVDs, then you know that the voice of the narrator can be annoying and make you not want to listen to it This narrator - whom I believe to be Kate Potter herself - is truly enjoyable, soothing and right in keeping with the gentle, healing nature of yoga.
