Sports reviews of Gaiam Yoga For Beginners Kit

Customer Review: Great Deal
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This is a great deal because you can pay this same price for just a mat. This comes with the mat, a brick, a strap, and a DVD.
I personally love the DVD because I've done Yoga before and know the names of the moves, but I can see where beginners would have a hard time with the daily routine. If you don't know the moves you may have to watch the DVD without following along for a time or two, because he goes faster than those on my other DVD's and you may get lost. Once you get the hang of the moves, this is a GREAT DVD to do Yoga with. I like that he does it faster because it feels like more of a workout than a relaxation thing (though it does come with a meditation section and the morning routine is easier and slower than the daily routine so you have several options to choose from).

Customer Review: Perfect for an all-in-one kit
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I used to practice yoga a lot in college, but I have taken a few years off. I wanted to get back into it, so I decided to spend the money on the Gaiam kit. I was pleasantly surprised, everything in this kit is perfect for me! I love the mat, the block, and the belt. Other reviews stated that the mat was too thin, but I disagree. I found it to be perfect, and I liked the design :) If you are just starting yoga, or want to invest in an all-in-one type product, this is perfect, and the price it reasonable.

Customer Review: Bang for your buck
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I was impressed with the quality of the items because to tell you the truth, i was nervous it was going to be cheap for the price. The dvd that comes with the items was very helpful. I am not new to yoga, but I am new to yoga at home and I have found the days I use Yiam's daily routine, i feel better throughout the day.

Customer Review: Great beginer set.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I received the product fast and it is a great beginner set. There is an AM wake up session, an 8 minute video to describe how to use the props correctly, and a daily 20 minute session. I was very pleased overall.
