Excellent workout; beautiful high quality production;
As a yoga video junkie, I've seen my share of routines, and this one is definitely up there with the best. I loved YFS I, so it was natural to check out YFS II, and I was happy to see that Peggy Hall once again did an exceptional job! Her teaching is clear and inspirational. She shows how yoga is about more than just flexibility -- it's about really making the most of each moment and living your dreams. And YFS II really helps you do that.At about 45 minutes, the program can be done at one time, or I prefer to do the three main sections at different times. The first part, "Spinal warm-up" is great to do in the morning to get energized. Then the "vinyasa flow" is more rigorous and helps build coordination and quick reflexes. That aspect has really helped my surfing. Then the "balance and relaxation" is good for the evenings. Peggy's relaxation sequences are so good -- soothing and just the right blend of imagery and visualization.The music is just perfect -- not the usual bland stuff of most yoga videos, but really engaging and uplifting. And the settings are gorgeous and the surfing is so inspiring.I have never seen an exercise video made with such high quality. Every detail is in place. I highly recommend it, and look forward to seeing more from Peggy Hall.
