| Won't be a favoriteYou read reviews to decide whether to buy, and most of the time it helps, but some things, like workout DVDs are really just personal preferences, and often I'm left wondering what previous reviewers saw that they loved so much. I'm trying to build up a library of yoga and pilates DVDs. This one came in a timely manner, so I'm giving it 2 stars for that. I'm keeping it, but it won't be one I reach for often. I think people hesitate to give less than glowing reviews because the excited, positive ones are the only ones that get voted as "helpful". I wish this weren't true because it tends to skew the review results.
The video is mainly staring her exposed, artificial cleavage, which I could overlook, so to speak, if the content were useful. It isn't. She has a grating voice that reminds me of a drill sargent trying to be pleasant and inspiring. Tantric Toning: I expected sensual moves focused on all parts of my body. Mostly it's flailing of hands and arms. I found myself fast forwarding to find exercises that didn't involve my arms because they were so tired! Yes, I want pretty arms, but that wasn't my aim when I ordered the DVD. Anyway, I got it fast at a great price, so it will take up some space in my growing library.
Nice ChangeNice change from regular stretch routines. Somewhat like dynamic stretching. Definitely get value for your dollar. There is narration throughout. It is pretty harmless and sometimes helpful. If you prefer silence, mute and watch.
Just what I needI rely on this workout for when I just can't face jumping and dancing, but want something energizing and even a bit meaningful. I work up a sweat, get stretched out, and mentally motivated to start my day each time I follow these routines. If I don't have much time, I'll only do one or two sections and save the rest for later. Both the visualizations and encouraging words, while they seem like they should feel sappy, somehow work within the context of the workout. It's one of my staples.
ElementalWhat a lovely workout! This is a highly underrated workout in the world of "Biggest Loser" and such. It's a shame that such a beautiful, gentle and effective workout has not gained more notoriety the last 13 years!
I love the focus on elements and the visualizations. I even love her cute little couplets. This is a nice fusion workout to do on quiet day. I primarily do fusion workouts of Kundalini yoga, ballet, hula and Pilates. This is an excellent addition to my collection.
Energizing... Soothing... BalancedI love this workout. It has a unique blend of visualization and energizing movements. I agree that the phrases she uses are a bit over the top. I watched it once without following along to get a feel for it before trying it. I laughed so hard.
When you are actively participating and visualizing the pictures Stephanie paints, the feeling is very different. For the majority of the work out, you are relaxed and calm. What difference from having other trainers yelling at you to keep going. The 45 minutes goes by fast and you don't even notice you are working out until you are done. When you have completed it, you know you have done something good for yourself.
I would consider this to be a light workout. It makes for a great off-day or morning routine. When done in the morning, my day seems to be brighter and more relaxed. I feel this is due to the grounding and centering throughout the program.
I don't often do the color meditation. Not that it is a bad meditation but it is so relaxing that I often fall asleep. Since this is part of my morning routine, falling asleep causes me to run late and completely ruins the balance I had just gained.
