Sports reviews of Gaiam Yoga For Beginners Kit
Customer Review: not worth it
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
i bought my kit from target. i was really disappointed. Although it included everything-the mat, the block, the strap and the dvd, they were not incorporated into the actual video, only in the prep/intro portion and not the workout itself. Also the matt did not have the positions or squares as the one rodney lee was using. i did not really find this kit helpful or useful. Even when i tried to incorporate the block and strap and make my personal judgement on the mat portions, i felt that the video was going too fast for me to use the block or the strap correctly and efficently.Customer Review: Poorly designed

I bought this for my girlfriend who was wanting to get into Yoga - this kit is pretty crappy for beginners. The instructor just goes from pose to pose, without giving you really any instruction on what you should be focusing on as far as your form (very important in yoga), goes through everything really, really fast; the mat is pretty thin - overall I would not buy another product from Gaiam - it seems slapped together without much thought.Customer Review: Not Really for Beginners

This kit is a disappointment. The mat and strap are good. I thought the block would be made from a natural material. I feel Gaiam includes this dvd in the kit because they couldn't possibly sell it to 'beginners' - it would be returned as not suitable. There are previews for a dvd that is for beginners, but not this one and I do have some previous yoga experience. It would have been helpful to have some written instruction, descriptions, pictures, and suggestions included for what to do on the way to being able to achieve the poses in the dvd. There are also annoyances like not being told in advance what will be needed for the series like the strap and and a folded blanket in the a.m. yoga. This is not a quality product and could be quite discouraging to a novice.
