Product Description A 30 minute lower body blast which combines traditional yoga poses with dynamic strength moves that will tone and firm the hips, thighs and buttocks. .com Denise Austin leads a 30-minute workout to lift, tighten, and tone buns. Although it is titled "yoga," it's really a series of varied buttock and thigh exercises--some yoga, some not--that use body weight and balance. If you're an Austin fan seeking a good gluteal workout, you'll like adding this to your collection, but if you're really looking for yoga, Yoga Buns falls short. Austin demonstrates the poses well enough, but her constant, cheerleading patter ("Make it work for the cheeks, for the buns, tight tushies!" and "Think of a tree, beautiful tree, hold it up!" for example) runs counter to the meditative aspect of yoga. Austin gives good alignment instructions, but never includes breathing and never connects with the serenity or spirituality of yoga. Recommended if you're looking for a half hour targeting the buns and you like Denise Austin. --Joan Price

Great Total Body Workout!
If you like Denise's Power Yoga and Fat-Blasting Yoga dvds, you will also enjoy this one. Denise tweaks traditional yoga moves to put emphasis on the butt muscles. If you are tenacious in squeezing your buns while doing the poses, you will definitely feel the burn in your behind. Your shoulders and chest will also get a great workout. This dvd is exactly why I rely on Denise for my workouts: it is a no-nonsense, effective challenge that strengthens and stretches the whole body. Finish up with a pilates workout from another Denise dvd and you've targeted the whole body in less than 45 minutes! I find aerobic and weight workouts quite boring, so I am hoping for more yoga and pilates dvds from Denise in the near future.

I like this yoga video tape
I bought this tape about 9 months ago. I had been doing Yoga and Pilates for about 2 years using Denise Austin videos and dvds. This summer I joined a national gym and did Yoga and Pilates several times a week. Her tapes prepared me well for my hour long Yoga and Pilates clases. I discontinued my gym membership 6 months later due to cost and feel very confident that I will continue my level of exercise using her tapes and DVDs. This tape has many of the Yoga exercises that we were doing in class. I do not feel this tape is best used by a person new to Yoga due to the pace.This tape is only 30 minutes long so the pace is pretty fast.I feel this tape is better used by someone who has been Yoga for a period of time. Good tape and good exercises.

A time-effective work out...
It is true as other reviewers have mentioned that Denise fails in this video to maintaine the orthodox meditative nature of purist yoga in this video. She is very perky, talks a lot, and looks a little crazy. But...I love this video! Why? Because it provided me with a motivator to get back into exercising. I have taken serious yoga classes before, and actually found myself a little turned off by the emphasis on breathing and meditation (I tended to fall asleep or not notice when we were transferring to another position) so for me Denise's chatter helps to keep me on track (and I have never experienced any success in any form with the breathing emphasis of orthodox yoga--I figure I'll let my body decide when and how fast to breathe).The two criticisms I do have for this video are that Denise tends to work one side of the body longer than the other side (I think she just gets a little distracted). My solution is to alternate which side I start with every other workout. The only other criticism is that after having done this workout every morning and evening for two months I find that my muscles have ceased to feel the burn. Is that Denise's fault? No, it just means that it is time for me to move up into a more intense video (I am 24 years by the way, in case you were wondering).My ultimate praise for this video...it provides some excellent stretching and strengthening which not only burns fat (I have lost 10 lbs. since starting two months ago), but provides the relaxation muscles and joints need to prevent injuries caused in more intense workouts and just in everyday life. I will continue to make this video part of my routine because of the stretching benefits. By the way, if you have bad knees (I do) this workout will challenge them, but if you respect your knees' limits (ie. if it hurts back off until it's just mildly uncomfortable, and gradually do more as time goes along), you will find that several of the exercises in this video will strengthen your knees and help relieve daily knee pain.Happy Exercising Everyone.

Yoga « actif » pas yoga « méditatif »�
Yoga « actif » pas yoga « méditatif »...Je n'ai aucune expertise en matière de yoga. Je vois « Yoga Buns » de Denise Austin comme du yoga « actif » pas comme du yoga « méditatif » et j'aime bien.30 minutes d'exercices variés et complémentaires (avec cependant un peu trop de « Sun Salutations » à mon goût !) pour travailler résistance musculaire, souplesse, coordination et équilibre de l'ensemble du corps.À utiliser seul ou en complément d'autres DVD. Aucun accessoire requis.La mise en scène est sobre et agréable.À savoir :Le DVD est en anglais mais la diction est facile à suivre et si vous n'entendez rien à l'anglais, les démonstrations sont impeccables.Suivant le type de lecteur de DVD, la lecture d'un DVD de zone 1 peut poser problème.
