I don’t care for yin yoga, but love the vinyasa option
I had been taking yin classes at a local studio and enjoyed them very much, however I believe that I hurt myself doing yin practice and have since stopped. I was never able to stick with the yin practice on this DVD. I do however love Sarah’s vinyasa practice on this DVD. I love vinyasa flow practices, however I don’t care for the rushed pace of many vinyasa DVD practices. Sarah’s vinyasa practice moves slowly however that does not mean it is easy! It is very challenging. When I practice without DVD this is the same speed I prefer to practice at to follow my slow ujjayi breathing. It feels less like calisthenics at this pace. I highly recommend this DVD. I consistently use this to practice when I don’t feel inspired to lead myself through practice. Sarah does talk a whole lot on this DVD, however you have the option to cut a lot of that out.

Insight Yoga with Sarah Powers
I am fairly new to yoga but wanted to get a DVD that focused on yin yoga after attending a yoga workshop on yoga for dancers. The workshop highlighted the benefits of yin yoga as well as the vinyasa style. I have not found many DVDs that offer yin yoga. When I saw that Sarah’s DVD offered both the yin yoga and vinyasa style, I figured this was the DVD for me. I had considered purchasing Paul Grilley’s DVD, but really liked the different options this DVD had to offer.I’ve been using the DVD for a few months now and I do enjoy it. I like that the DVD tells you which sequence to use depending on what you are looking to improve in your life which ranges from decreasing fear or resentment to balancing an overactive day. There are only a few things that I would suggest could have been improved.In the savasana relaxation sequence that is offered, I find the chanting (the Tibetan mantra Om Mane Padme Om) that is used annoying. I’m sure this appeals to many people, but is not my style. I tend to end my session early so I don’t have to listen to it. Also, as one of the other reviewers mentioned, the stories that are told in the yin yoga do get a bit annoying after you’ve listened to them several times. It is good that they offer the option to not listen to these stories with these sequences. Might have been nice if they could have added some music here, but not having that let’s the user select music they might like. Also, many of the sequences they offer are very long. If I have time to do yoga, I usually only have an hour. Most of the sequences offered are much longer then this. I wonder who has time to do these all at once. The good thing is you don’t have to do the sequences and can just opt to do a practice.All in all it is a very good DVD that I continue to use and am happy that I bought.

Great variety and practice options for at home
I’ve had this DVD for about 3 months now and use one of the practices on it at least twice each week. I like the way the vinyasa routines focus heavily on breath and form, while the yin sessions allow me to relax and refresh on days I am seeking a less vigorous practice. Admittedly I am still a relative newbie to yoga, but I find that all of the practices on this DVD add value to my home practice. I have found many yoga DVDs out there, but most seem to offer sessions that last longer than an hour. I don’t always have that much time to devote to my daily practice and the practices on this DVD help with that since they are all an hour or less.All in all, I highly recommend this an addition to your library if you have a regular home practice.

Sarah Powers DVD is terrific. I use it everyday
Sarah Powers DVD has many differentclasses on this one DVD. I am enjoyingdoing one a day and there are at least2 weeks of classes. Some are longand some as short as 10 min. Severalhave a meditation at the beginning.The Yin Yoga I use for my joints andconnective tissue as she asks you tohold each pose 5 min. She is talkingand explaining while you hold the pose.The time goes quickly. I will buy theother one when I finish this one.I have been doing yoga for 20 years andthis would also be good for beginners.Thanks Amazon for carrying this veryuseful DVD.Dr. Dariah Morgan

DISAPPOINTED! WITH INSIGHT YOGA LOW VIBRATION
You would think that a teacher of 25 years while teaching would have so much to offer not only to students but teachers as well; instead in this YIN YOGA DVD she chose subjects while teaching to talk about CANCER, NATURAL DISASTERS and RELIGION. Maybe she thought those subjects were appropriate. NO! I purchased her INSIGHT YOGA to learn more about YIN YOGA. I could only get thru the DVD once, I like to feel up-lifted after a practice not down. This is certainly an IMPRINT! I have better MANTRAS as opposed to Cancer, Death and her choice of Religion. Now I can only view her INSIGHT YOGA with the SOUND OFF or not at all. At least I have PAUL GRILLEY’S YIN YOGA DVD.

Love this DVD!!!
I love this DVD! I feel like I’m part of her class and the class is diverse. Great features allow you to reduce some of the talking so it doesn’t get repetitive. DVD offers a sequencing feature so you can go through yin, meditation and savasana or many other sequences without having to adjust your DVD. So far I’ve only done the yin practices and I didn’t like the meditation that I tried but I love her long savasana. This DVD was very thoughtfully prepared and more than worth the investment. It’s allowed me to incorporate yoga as part of my daily routine.

This yoga DVD has literally enhanced my health. I had chronic adrenal fatigue. I was unable to do any exercises for 2 years while I was healing. This DVD Insight Yoga offers poses specifically to strengthen and nurish your adrenals, liver, kidneys. There are a number of sections to choose from depending on which part of your body you want to heal. The poses are nice and long and her voice is that of an Angel. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is limited in physical activity, or wants to enhance their organs and enjoys meditation and soothing yoga.
