Additional Features
Living Arts's Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss is a fantastic example of how DVD features can be used to enhance a workout program. The same workout is presented five different ways, and you may choose the combined (which shows all four modifications), complete, slightly modified, partially modified, or fully modified program. The four modifications each focus on a different instructor, and the audio instruction explains the specific moves for each level. At any point during the 45-minute workout, you can press the "angle" key on your remote to switch to a different modification level, enabling you to get the best workout you can without straining yourself. In addition, at times a small "personal instructor" icon will appear in the lower right corner of the screen. By pressing enter, the program switches to instructor Suzanne Deason in the yoga studio who carefully explains how to do the pose. Each of these poses are explained based on the level you are watching (for example, at the fully modified level, Deason will demonstrate the pose using bricks or straps). All in all this is an excellent use of DVD features and a great way to grow with a yoga program. --Jenny Brown

About the Instructor: Suzanne Deason has been practicing yoga for more than 35 years. She became interested in yoga through books and TV when she was nine years old. Soon after, she began formal yoga training in the iyengar tradition, an in-depth, alignment-oriented style that builds a strong foundation for understanding the biomechanics and purpose of each pose. Borrowing from the ashtanga tradition, she incorporates the flowing or "vinyasa" style of yoga into her precise, instructional teaching to give the student an experience of yoga by uniting the mind, body, and breath. She believes that as we move our bodies from pose to pose and breath to breath, yoga sharpens our awareness of each moment and each sensation. It is this focus that unclutters the mind and cleanses the body, leaving us with a fresh, rejuvenated soul. Suzanne has been teaching yoga for 10 years in northern California.
