Rainbeau does this in a beautiful studio w/2 women & 2 men, 1 man & woman showing modifications. The music's beautiful chanting is different, but the tempo is almost sleepy, too slow for a workout to relax you. This DVD has great menu options such letterbox or full screen choice, dolby digital 2.0 or 5.1, gallery of pictures, workout w/o sound & a beautiful about 4 min solo performance of Rainbeau showing how advanced she is. There are also trailers for her previous DVDs: vinyasa flow, Dawn, Zen mama, as well as for yoga for wimps & Lilias series for the people who want a mature instructor.

Dr. Beth did a great job with telling you about the poses which do contain several hip openers I don't often see which is great. The pace is very slow with a lot of moutain pose & child pose resting which seemed to take up a huge chunk of the program. It would have been better if she did more simple stretches instead such as butterfly. It is a good workout, but the 3 legged lifting & warriors seemed a bit much for trying to relax yourself to me. I will use this more on slow rainy days when I'm not up for something more strenueous.
The only thing I noticed was her speaking, I used to LOVE it on her previous DVDs, but this time it seemed disjointed/hurried unllike in the past relaxed/flowing. Even her dawn was good/fine, only this one didn't flow right. What she still does is great is let you know what the poses help you do, such as hip openers help you to release toxins that tend to build in that area & the modified handstand (you still on your upper back & forearms, not hard) help bring back the blood to the heart & help blood flow to increase to cleanse the toxins from the blood which you just releases.

There is a bonus 10 min workout including 2 min laying down & cross legged rest at the end. She speaks a little more relaxed here. Starts with child's pose, downward dog, 3 legged down dog & knee to chest several times, wide-leged squat, down dog, standing foward bend, moutain, plank, upward dog/cobra, down dog, 3 lgged down dog & knee to chest agian, down dog, standing fwd bend, chair/powerful pose, stand fwd bend, plank, upward dog, down dog, boat, holding body up with hands, boat, quick handstand, upward dog, down dog, laying down knee to chest several times, laying down spinal twist, bridge & bridge w/1 leg up, resting pigeon hold & rest.

This dvd is not good as a 1st dvd on yoga, but maybe a 3 or 4th becasue of both the harder poses & lack of detailed instruction on foot placement & body weight distribution which is needed at first. The dawn one I would recommend first over this one.
