I really recommend this to people who suffer from back, joint or muscle problems. It may even be ideal for those who are looking for a relaxing stretch. I wanted something that I could stretch and relax to, even if I wasn't in the mood to do much else. I tried other stretching programs, such as the AM/PM Stretch, which is also good, but I was surprised to see that this yoga routine hit the spot more. Normally, I don't even care for yoga and most of the routines that I've tried/purchased were anything but relaxing.
I can easily say that this is my favorite "workout" and one that I look forward to doing, which says something, considering how lazy I get. Even after doing previous stretching and workout DVDs (including the AM/PM stretch), I could barely raise my arms or touch my toes at one point because my body was so out of whack, but this had me loosened up within a week or less. My TMJ has also lessened a bit, which was a handy bonus. Even so, the more often I do it, the better I feel. I also notice a difference if I slack off for a week or so, or just lack the time to do anything, but once I give this another go, I start feeling good again after a day or two.
Since I workout in other ways, I mainly do the initial 33-minute portion of Series A 3 to 4 days a week when I have time, since it's my favorite and gets the job done. I find it highly effective and extremely relaxing at the same time. In fact, I frequently do it at night to wind down, almost using it as a little treat for myself. I even feel that just the 33-minute workout is well worth the price alone. I also try to do one or two days a week of the other portions of the DVD, just for a little bit of a challenge and to build strength.
I really enjoy the instructor, who seems down to earth and mellow. Her voice is soothing and she does a great job of explaining things throughout the workout. The music is also lovely and simple in nature. Some people don't care for the white background, but I actually appreciate it. I love a pretty background in other workouts, but I also feel that having one can distract me. The white background in this series, however, lets me focus on my breathing and movements instead.
All in all, I think this would be good for people who aren't very limber or those who suffer from back/joint/muscle problems. It would also be suitable for those who want a good stretching workout or for first-time individuals. I like it well enough that I'm even considering purchasing her more difficult DVDs later on, once I get back into shape.
