DVD Reviews of Christoga: Faith in Fitness volume 1
DVD Review: Great workout from a beginner's point of view
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't have much experience with yoga or poses, this was one of my first dvds. I feel great afterwards & I like doing it. I really like the workout, but I don't have anything else to compare it to. There are 2 instructors & the poses are explained very well, with options for a greater challenge. There are 7 different segments & you can do as many as you want or just play all of them. It's nice to have time where you are guided through focusing on Christ & scriptures.
My only concern is about modesty, especially since this is a Christian dvd. The red head's navel shows through the video & it just seems like she is trying to be sexy. Kind of weird!
All in all, it gets 4 stars & my recommendation.

Summary: 5 Stars
It's about time Christians were exposed to the wonderful benefits of yoga! I bought this DVD and have done the workout twice, and already am experiencing the positive changes. The workout itself is about 70 minutes long, beginning with centering and stretching, advancing to strengthening and action, and finishing with an exercise of balance and guided relaxation, with a peaceful backdrop of candles and crosses. The positions have been renamed to fit a Christian theme - Prodigal Son, Noah's Arch, Lazarus, and Holy Rollers, which made me laugh and was thoroughly enjoyable. Throughout we have beautiful Janine Turner (Maggie from Northern Exposure) reciting some of my favorite and most inspirational Scripture verses. The DVD is completely Christ-centered, and teaches us to worship Him not just with our minds, but bodies as well. I bought this DVD because I was worried that my prayer life was lacking. This is an excellent way to incorporate Christ's Word into your soul.
I noticed that Janine's abdomen showed at times, but didn't really find it to be offensive. She's wearing workout clothes. The workout moves at a quick pace, so it may be a good idea to view the DVD before attempting it, as is advised by the instructor. I didn't, however, and made it through just fine. One thing that could have been done differently was that occasionally, when a position is being held, the video briefly cuts completely to Janine reciting a verse. I wish they wouldn't have done that because a couple of times I looked to make sure I was doing the position right, but they weren't showing that.
All in all, I totally recommend this workout. You will not regret adding this positive workout to your busy life.
DVD Review: Cheesy
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very dissapointed in this DVD. I don't think it is wise of the star to show her belly and wear sequence in a CHRISTIAN yoga DVD. Worse is that she comes off as being sort of fake, ditzy and un-yoga-like.? I think her intentions are good, but her behavior is way too Hollywood. Also the sequence is not a very nice flow and they give far too much scripture.
Description of Christoga: Faith in Fitness volume 1
Christoga - Christian Yoga Christoga is a non-traditional hatha yoga practice at beginning and intermediate levels using scriptures from the Bible as the meditation focus. The positions strengthen and lengthen muscles as well as improve breathing, concentration and balance. The progressive guided relaxation phase is both comforting and restorative. Therefore, regular Christoga practice (at least 3 times a week) will improve your ability to perform activities of daily living. Strengthen both body and soul therefore improving your quality of life!Fitness DVDs
