Great, challenging and fun DVD
I really like this DVD! As someone who's been doing vinyasa yoga for a couple of years, I find the sequences challenging but manageable. I also think that someone who's been doing yoga for less time but is generally fit would be able to do the routines on this with no problems and really enjoy them. The instructor has a great, calm voice and a very genuine presence, which I appreciated--you never feel like she's showing off or being intrusive or insincere. While the practices are strong and challenging, with a high level of flow, they have interesting, creative sequencing that feels very natural.

Jenni is a genius at sequencing. I love how creative she is with the sequences, and with five routines of varying lengths (so that you can find one...
outstanding!
I bought this DVD because I enjoyed Jenni Rawlings' previous video so much. This is a very challenging, beautifully choreographed vinyasa workout with the best cueing I've ever found on a yoga video. The tutorials for the advanced moves are a wonderful addition. I hope Jenni continues to put out more yoga videos, since I live way to far from her studio to take a class in person!
