Yoga Zone

[Thea]

Has anybody out there tried the Yoga Zone tapes? I am thinking about getting a yoga tape or two for home and wasn't sure what kind were good. I like the idea that Yoga Zone has different types available like meditation, flexibility, power, etc. I'd appreciate any opinions anyone has! Thanks!

I have 2 of their tapes. Yoga for Weight Loss and Total Body Conditioning. While I like their tapes, I don't love them like I do some of my others. The YFWL is more like power yoga if you ask me, it was harder than I expected it to be. TBC is a nice gentle way to begin or end the day. Not hard at all, but you do feel very nice and relaxed afterward. Still, IMHO, Ali MacGraw's tape, Yoga with Ateeka, and The joy of Yoga are the better choices. Ok, there's my 2cents!! Hope it helps ya'!!

Thea, do you get The Health Network on cable TV? If so, they show Yoga Zone a few times a day. In fact, the most recent 5 tapes Yoga Zone released come directly from the TV show. So that would give you a great idea of what they're like. Also you can see clips of them on the Collage Video site.

I have several YZ tapes and like them, but tend to use the Living Arts yoga tapes more often because they're shorter. I rarely have the time or inclination to do a full hour of yoga. My favorite LA tapes are Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss, Gentle Yoga and Back Care Yoga. I've also heard great things about Yoga Conditioning for Athletes.

I think it depends on what you are looking for. I found YZ Total Body Conditioning to be a very beginner level tape, and was disappointed. Yoga for Athletes is good, but I personally just don't care for Rodney Yee. He is wonderful, just doesn't move me I guess.
I have YZ Power Yoga, and it is TOUGH. But that's what I am into, so there you go. I just love, love love this tape.
Catch iYZ on TV if you can, as another has suggested here. Also, Oxygen has a yoga show every morning at 6 am that I just love. I do it about 3 days a week. It is more modern, uses regular upbeat music, and isn't too strenuous. OK for beginners, but he doens't explain anything so you may want to just watch one morning.
I love yoga, there are so many different types out there. Give it a try. One will probably click for you.

Thanks for the tips! Actually, I think my brother gets the Health Network since he has digital cable, so maybe I could get him to tape some of the Yoga Zone shows for me! Thanks for the good idea, I really appreciate it!
