Namaste Yoga: Season 1-3 Box Set

I’ve been doing yoga for years and have had many different DVD’s and this collection is the very best. The photography is excellent and the commentary is dubbed in later so as not to distract from the exercises.I had a problem with some of the DVD’s and Emma was the perfect representative. Customer satisfaction is CLEARLY a priority for this business.The problem wasn’t the DVD’s but my DVD player but she was the most patient and understanding person.Replacements were immediately sent out with no questions asked. It wasn’t until the replacements didn’t work that it was suggested to try a different player and sure enough they worked.I could not have asked for any better. The company far exceeded my expectations and mine are high.Thank you Emma and the business you work for. You people are the BEST of the BEST!

The format of these yoga routines is wonderful. I am not a yoga expert but have been doing basic yoga stretching at home for years. I find these routines challenging but not impossible. The moves are broken down and cued for lower intensity so you can grow into the full move with time and practice. The narrators voice is calming as well as very descriptive. I find it very easy to follow. The filming technique is also good, so you can easily follow the moves. The imaging and settings are calm and relaxing. The result is a feeling of accomplishment for a yoga routine well done and a calm frame of mind for the day. I highly recommend this series of DVD's.

I have been using this series for my daily morning yoga routine for two months after my morning walk. Each disk has six or seven approximately 30 minute routines that consist of a warm up, a flow practice (with either standing or kneeling starts), and a cool down/relaxation segment. The warm-ups are very similar across the series. The cool downs are identical each routine, which allows me to focus on relaxing. The ending relaxation is very short. There are some inspirational quotes and sayings during each routine, but not too much "new-agey spiritualism" for those who don't like that.During the flow segment of each routine, you use a particular breath/body link with Mudras (hand positions) as a way to rest and reconnect motion with breathing. The flow routines build during each segment, adding a new pose (Asana) with each round. I find this format extremely helpful.I am already familiar with most yoga poses over years of stopping and starting yoga practice various times, so the lack of detailed instruction does not bother me. However, if you are a complete beginner, the lack of instruction may be frustrating. I also suggest that beginners start with season 2, as it is more beginner oriented.Pros:Variety of flow routinesSpecific balance challenging postures in many routinesNice production: beautiful settings, gracefully strong model practitioners, soothing music, excellent cues for experienced practitionersShort and do-able on a daily basis keeps me sticking with itRepeated use of exercises in warm up and cool downFlows build with each roundSoothing vocal cues--I like the voicesCons:No list of postures used in each segment, and no way to tell ahead of time how difficult a routine will beNot a lot of formal instruction. Could be off-putting for beginnersSometimes the camera focuses on a model's face, when seeing the whole body pose would be betterSometimes at the end of a flow routine, a flow may only be repeated on one sideRelaxation segment seems a bit rushed

I used to do Namaste Yoga when it was on Fit TV. I did it while pregnant with my first child. Then Fit TV was cancelled and I tried a few other yoga dvd's but nothing measured up to Namaste. I was so excited to find it on Amazon and the minute I started doing the dvd I felt like I was home again. I LOVE Namaste Yoga and highly recommend it!

So I bought this thinking I was getting 3 seasons of Erica Blitz Namaste yoga which I have watched on zliving and love. I had also watched kate potter's namaste yoga and just could not stand the sound of her voice or her yoga practice. To each their own though. I was all excited to get these dvds. The only picture is the front of season 3. Beware, season 3 erica blitz and seasons 1 and 2 kate potter. If this is what you want go for it. However it is not for those that just want the one instructor. Amazon online says I can send it back for refund so hope that works! I am going to order just season 3 and 4 now! I have attached all the pics so it is more clear what you are actually being offered

Great yoga series. I don't like most yoga videos because, to be honest, I hate the voice overs. This one does not annoy me. I also like the length of the videos. Allows me to fit in my practice anytime.

Do not purchase, seller only offers 30 day return. If you are on vacation or in the hospital when your order arrives and you get around to opening & evaluating you will be unable to return. Poor return policy

One of the best at-home series I have tried. Sessions are only 12 minutes, can combine to fit time frame as needed. Like that each routine is built by adding a pose at a time and repeated; allows for better positioning
