I just trued this workout and I didn't like it at all... I could only tolerate about about 10 min. of the total body and only 5 minutes of the Upper body segment. I didn't try the other 2 segments.... definitely it's not the style of yoga I enjoy.

Would you say that's true? It sounds like three of them are heavy in the sun salutations; do they have much else?
I would agree that only the core routine shows any real variety from the others. The other three routines have some similar moves to Yoga Now but are much faster and, yes, they are definitely heavy on sun salutations. There are some other poses in the other three but I can't really remember what they were (I already sent it back to NetFlix). Hope that helps.

ETA: I just read the review on Amazon and I agree with the lack of cueing too. He just says the name of the pose most of the time without giving much in the way of form pointers, etc.

I kept wanting to stop too but I kept telling myself I needed to give them all a chance. But I definitely won't be giving them a second chance!

Thanks, Karen (and Carla and the rest of the guinea pigs)! I didn't have anything more than idle curiosity about this, and that's been satisfied!
