20 Minute Yoga Makeover: Weight Loss [DVD]

I have others in this series. This is her best. As yoga instructor to the stars, she must be in her element here, when she is targeting weight loss. I can't agree with the other reviewer who gave it only '3' stars that its not good cardio. Compared to other yoga workouts, its very good on that front. I feel like I have just done 15 min on a treadmill at weight loss target heart rate. But this workout, gives butt toning and thigh strengthening that I would NOT get on a treadmill -- so its really worth it. I did her butt workout (Sculpted Buns and Thighs) in this series as a beginner but would not do *this one* as a beginner without some technique instruction first. Its better for an advanced beginner as she does cobra and upward dog without pointers which could be dangerous without some background. Finally, I got this used from Goodwill of Southern CA & again from Goodwill Oregon; reconsider any used purchases from Goodwill!!! Both times Goodwill shipped the correct DVD jacket with the *incorrect DVD* inside - one time even refusing a return. Run, run far away from Goodwill mail order purchases!Namaste!

Love this dvd. Still use it as a good warm up and she's a very great instructor for beginners. Pleasant voice and good speed.

I have tried quite a few work out at home, lot of them are good but it always seemed to be too long. I owned Sarah Ivanhoe Fat burning 50 minutes routine ( from Crunch), liked it, so when I found the 20 minutes, bought to try it, and immediately loved it. Even though the first 10 minutes, the routines was at the normal pace, the last 10 minutes she hurried up a little bit as it gets to the timing. This routine is short, so you always find time to do it regularly which is the key to achieve the weight loss and I have achieved the muscle tone in no time on top of it. Being a busy working person, and at my late 40, this routine is great for me.

Great video. Good workout & easy to follow. Highly recommend!

I have older dvds with Sarah's yoga. This is just as good. She's the best teacher, especially for an idiot beginner like myself.

I really wanted to like this, as I have been looking for some shorter routines for use on my busy days. But I find this to be too fast, and do not feel refreshed as I do after other yoga vidoes that I own. The fast pace doesn't allow you to hold the poses long enough to get a good stretch. It is more like aerobics.

This is my 3rd DVD and its not playing on any of my devices.

With this one its a nice vinyasa flow in a way but not like Shiva Rea. I always love Sara Ivanhoe, her voice will talk you through anything. This one is an empowering workout with a little sweat.

Great 20 minute workout. Routine is easy to follow. Instructor gives clear instructions, so you don't constantly have to keep an eye on her to follow the routine. She also gives you options a couple of time for more difficult poses or to stick with a less challenging pose in a flow sequence.
