Spice Girl does Yoga August 30, 2005 Washi 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
While Geri never stops talking through the yoga workout, it can be easily overlooked. There is great instruction for beginners who can be intimidated by the poses. The caveats given about shoulder and head stand being done with a teacher in the beginning of learning are not usually given in yoga workout videos. I have been practicing yoga for over 18 years and I have seldom heard the warnings given that were said on this dvd. I agree the set ups are slow but I do not believe that this workout is geared toward the experienced practitioner. But I still enjoyed it.

I WAS REALLY EXCITED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VIDEO- IT WAS HORRIBLE - IT DOESN'T FLOW EASILY - THE GUIDE KEEPS GOING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GERI AND A BEGINNER AND SHE'LL FOCUS MORE ON THE BEGINNER AND BABY STEP YOU THROUGH THE SIMPLEST OF POSES AND THEN PAN THE CAMERA OVER TO GERI WHO'S INSTANTLY IN A MORE COMPLICATED POSE - BUT THEN THEY DON'T EXPLAIN HOW GERI GOT THERE...THIS VIDEO DOES NOT GIVE YOU A GOOD WORKOUT....DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!
Noga! September 17, 2009 L.C. (Georgia, USA) This dvd should only be purchased by anyone who is a big fan of Geri Halliwell herself and you want a light-hearted introduction to yoga from her. As previous reviewers have mentioned, Geri talks all the way through, or rather she interjects by both talking over and by interrupting the instructor. This has the feel of having walked in on all 3 people (Geri, Katy Appleton, who is the instructor and another lady, who is there to show how to perform the basic poses), in a room with you watching on whilst she chats away in her charmingly condescending way and I actually like her as a person! If you want a really good informative video that you will use over and over again, check out links to yoga dvd's on You Tube so that you can get a sample of what the poses and the instructors are like before you buy. This is not a video that you would use too often because of the way that it is structured, Geri's constant babble and the feel of it being a kind of pilot to one that she should have made. Aspiring yoga practitioners' of any standard should seriously consider someone else's dvd. Buy this one only if you want it for entertainment value.
Really solid intro to yoga, even with Geri's chatter July 2, 2006 Heather (Canada) While I'm sure that anyone with a lot of yoga experience would be bored nearly senseless, this DVD was perfect for me. I felt like I was part of a very small class, as Katy moved back and forth between Geri doing the advanced work and another woman doing easier poses. I felt so smooth and relaxed after, and my shoulders and back didn't crack at all for the rest of the day.
Geri DOES talk far too much, and seems rather obsessed with which poses help your digestive system, but it didn't stress me out. This DVD is more instructional than a workout, but I certainly felt worked out after.
Overall, a good start for a beginner but probably not for more advanced students.
I agree...just stop talking, Geri! August 26, 2005 N. Travers (Olmsted Falls, Ohio United States) 5 out of 8 found this review helpful
I really wanted to like this dvd. But I have to say that I couldn't even make it through the first fifteen minutes By then I wanted to put a muzzle on both Geri AND the instructor. I kept telling myself to give it a chance but it just moves soooooo slowly while they talk and go over every detail of the next move. The other reviewer was right about being left twiddling your thumbs. I was so bored with this workout that I didn't even finish it and that is not like me. Usually once I start, I go ahead and do the whole thing whether I like it or not. I just couldn't take it anymore with this one. I had to stop. I only got through about twenty minutes of it. I did put it back in later to watch Geri's commentary at the end and I have to say that there was absolutely nothing at all "enlightening" in that section. Just more rambling....I'm really disappointed...like I said, I really wanted to like it...I know I won't ever do this workout again.
