Old Favorite, May 12, 2013
I had this on VHS when I was in high school and lost it, I've been searching for it now for years as it relaxed me so perfectly before bed. I am so glad that you have included it as well as the AM version in your collection :)

Wasn't impressed, September 20, 2012
I did this in the morning assuming the 27 minutes was all or at least mostly yoga. After impatiently waiting thru a few minutes of chit chat on yoga it finally started. I didn't realize props were needed so I just winged it without them. My opinion though was this is great for beginners, novice yoga practicioners or those needing a "modified" yoga course. Really smooth and quiet but not what I wanted or needed to wake up. I definitely didn't feel the burn for any weight loss.

Just Okay, August 2, 2012
This is fine- not very hard at all. I think it's only considered "for weightless" as part of your diet and other exercise routines. She uses straps and wedges in the PM video (haven't done the AM one yet)- wasn't expecting that and don't have those things. Would have been nice to offer modifications for those of us who aren't going to go out and buy a yoga wedge (seriously, come on). Other than that, it's a fine, easy workout that more or less relaxes you for bed.

Thanks for your feedback. We, August 3, 2012
Thanks for your feedback. We have updated the class descriptions to include which yoga props are needed. We do this as a matter of course, but somehow, missed this one. Although she doesn't mention this in the video, you can always use a folded towel instead of the yoga wedge, which we've noted in the class description as well. Namaste.

this is perfect immediately, May 3, 2012
this is perfect immediately after you wake up. moves and stretches aren't too hard, just enough to get the bodies energy moving and flowing.

PM very nice, March 15, 2012
created a very nice calm close to the day - very relaxing and soothing - smoothes out any wrinkles from the day for a great sleep. As someone who is also working on weight conditioning it gave me a nice body awareness and reconnection.

I love both of these, March 12, 2012
Being an overweight middleaged woman who is starting on her road to fitness, I love both of these programs. The chunking of the time, 20 minutes each, makes the program feel comfortable and doable on a consistent basis, and the stretches challenged me enough that I was not bored.
While other more advanced yoga people may sneer at how easy this video is, I highly recommend it to women of size just starting their conscious journey to fitness.

nice way to start the day, November 7, 2011
Yes, the poses are simple, but I could still feel my body working and relaxing at the same time. I feel ready to start my day knowing I did something good for myself.

a bit too easy, not sure why this is for weight loss, November 5, 2011
The stretches were very elementary and there was nothing to point to why this should be included in a yoga routine for weight loss. It was night to stretch the legs this way, but again - nothing to do with weight loss or really evening wind-down stretches.
