DVD Reviews of Yoga Total Tune-UP
DVD Review: Gratuitous self-exposure
Summary: 3 Stars
When reading the reviews for this DVD, I was perplexed by how many I read that said "Wow, great! Five stars!" and conversely, "Totally sucked, don't waste your money." I was all mixed up about whether or not to buy it and decided what the heck, it's only 20 bucks, try it and see. If you are in a similar situation, I hope my review helps you make an informed choice.
I'll start with what I liked. I liked Ravi's instructions and speaking style. He's very relaxing and encouraging, pushing you gently on but not making you feel like a failure if you can't. The poses were very well executed by Ana Brett; it wasn't difficult to be sure if I was doing it right. The music was interesting and paced well with the poses. I especially liked that there was a brief meditation/relaxation session after difficult poses. This helped me continue even after I probably would have quit if it weren't for the little breaks. Doing the whole DVD is quite a workout, challenging you but not completely wiping you out or being so difficult there is no way you can keep up.
There was really only one thing I didn't like, and because it was so completely unnecessary, I took off at least 1.5 stars from what I would have given this DVD otherwise. Ana's nipples and areolas are plainly visible throughout the entire DVD. Her clothing is absolutely inappropriate and distracting. Several times during the workout she has to pull her shorts down because her bottom has squeezed out of them. I am a very laid-back person about nudity and am not offended by much; Ana is a beautiful woman and deserves to have that beauty appreciated. However, the plain view of her breasts through her top and her bottom through her shorts was so unnecessary that I was inspired to complain about it here. The editors could easily have airbrushed the areolas out or put her in a darker outfit. Also, Ravi makes a few fantastical claims ("Prevent wrinkles!" as you turn your head from side to side) and promotes rather dubious health benefits from doing this form of yoga.
If you're interested in this DVD for weight loss, this will probably be a good one. I have started yoga as part of a weight loss program myself and will probably do this particular DVD often. If you have a lot of weight to lose as I do, try not to be discouraged if you feel bulky and ungraceful at first. Modify the poses as best you can and stick with it. Your body will respond to the love you give it and with consistent practice, you'll see a difference (so the yoga gurus tell me).
