Sports reviews of Gaiam Yoga For Beginners Kit
Customer Review: Good so far
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I haven't watched the DVD, but the block/mat are good quality, although this is an extra mat for me and a bit thinner than my other one. Works well on carpets but I am afraid to try it on a wood floor.Customer Review: Nice kit but BEWARE of missing parts and annoying/time-consuming exchanges
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I am originally an exerciser/fitness instructor and am now just taking up yoga and sticking with it. I really like Rodney Yee's DVDs and many of Gaiam's products. I love the props and the DVD that comes with the kit. However, I would recommend just buying this kit in a sporting goods store or even Target and check the contents of the kit before you walk out the door - or save your receipt in case anything's missing. I requested and received mine for a Christmas gift however it was lacking the strap. I contacted Gaiam about this through their website underneath the option of "your Amazon.com order" since they have a "store" on here. The person that I received the gift from would have to send the entire kit back for an exchange simplly because it was purchased on Amazon.com. I even gave the Gaiam rep. the name/address of the person that ordered the kit. If it had been purchsed through Gaiam's website - it seems as though they could have just sent the missing strap but because it was through Amazon the entire kit would have had to go back. I did not want to give it up so I just went to Target and bought the cotton strap for $7. Should have just requested the yoga kit and recommended a store to buy it from instead of trying to save a few bucks on Amazon.
Good kit but check the contents and reconsider purchasing online if you want to start or enhance your yoga practice quickly - BEWARE - you might be left waiting around for returns/exchanges.
Customer Review: Equipment is good but DVD is not for beginners
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I don't have a problem with the equipment but the DVD moves way too fast without any actual instructions as to how to do them. For a beginner they should be showing you how to do the poses, especially in the second work out. If you have never done yoga before you will need a different DVD that is truly for beginners but if you don't have any of the equipment it gives you what you need and for a few dollars less then buying them individually.Customer Review: Good for basics.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I think that the instructor goes too fast for a "beginner". He transitions between everything with little explanation. He doesn't tell you that you are going to transition until he is already in that pose.
All in all, I think that this is moves too fast for beginners and doesn't give you enough detail.
Customer Review: not bad but not great
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
the gear is fine...the video is ok but i thought it would be more informative since it is a beginners video.
