Yoga expert Colleen Saidman is featured in this six-segment (running 20-25 minutes each) exercise program that definitely assumes previous knowledge of poses and practices. Narration by Saidman is laid over footage of her demonstrating the poses in a palm-tree-dotted ocean-esque setting, with segments including “Constant Cardio” (with Warriors I and II and downward facing dog), “Energy and Endurance” (which starts seated and includes staff, twisting, and step and jump moves), “Sustained Burn” (featuring cobbler's, dancing Shiva, happy baby, and boat poses), “Calorie Killer Workout” (including bicep curls, uncomfortable-looking wheel variations, and Warrior III), “Rise and Shine” (with backbend, side plank, lunges, and cobra), and “Balance and Restore” (“head is bowed symbolically to your heart.”). A high-energy, fast-paced yoga workout that is aimed at advanced practitioners, this is recommended. Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
