Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Jennifer Kreis's Precision Yoga presents an active and brisk set of yoga routines that strive for three sets of goals: strength and vitality, flexibility and range of movement, and serenity and peace of mind. Each set of goals is combined with a 20-minute routine of specific yoga exercises, which are culled from various "popular styles of yoga." Kreis works through traditional salutations and appears to make up some of her own as well. Her target audience will probably already be familiar with yoga since she offers only minimal instruction on achieving poses. Familiar poses, such as the triangle, mountain, child, and warrior poses, are included. Overall, her pace is a bit quick, though she does spend ample time discussing breathing, stressing its importance while stretching. Still, her rush through the relaxing "corpse pose" felt unnecessary--she could've devoted more production time to that important pose. Be prepared to hit the pause button if your pace is slower. Her style is more crisp and no-nonsense than the more Zen-like, languid Patricia Walden or Tracy Rich videos. Kreis also stresses the mind-body connection with affirmation-like statements at the beginning and end of the video. She reminds the viewer that yoga is ultimately a relaxing and balancing exercise, not a stretching competition. The video provides three routines, easily broken up or combined if time allows. Most likely designed to accompany her other Method videos, Precision Yoga can stand on its own as an acceptable basic yoga tape. --Gilia Angell

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent yoga tape
Jennifer is such an wonderful instructor.. i have recommend her tapes to bother strangers in target and friends. the yoga breathing leaves me calm and focused every time. Thanks !



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Well done; easy to follow; effective
With a series of exercise tapes called "The Method", Jennifer Kries leads this 60 minute workout that is segmented into three 20 minute workouts. I consider myself new to yoga, having worked to Kathy Smith lately. I enjoy this video tape much more. The moves are quick and not particularly agonizing. Jennifer is good at cueing.

There is minimal distraction here as she works alone and the camera follows well. The forms are not very difficult and its easy to see that with some practice, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Precision Yoga
J'ai découvert le yoga à partir de cette vidéocassette. J'ai pratiqué pendant plusieurs mois cette vidéo et vu mes progrès de jour en jour. Les explications de Jennifer sont claires et précises; de plus, elle maîtrise bien les postures. J'aime bien le segment sur la technique de respiration alternée. Lorsque je désire une pratique énergisante, c'est cette vidéo que j'utilise. Je recommande fortement.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Important Part of My Exercise Regime
This is one of those videos I do when I want to stretch and tone rather than pump up my heart rate. Its extremely convenient as it consists of three separate programs which are each about 20 minutes long.
Program one consists mainly of sun salutations and warrior poses. Program Two concentrates on arm and leg stretches and balancing poses. Program Three focuses on breathing and relaxation which are great to do to induce sleep or relieve stress. I mainly practise Programs one and Program Two.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Yoga Tape!
What a great tape! I love that the workouts are only 20 minutes long, a perfect length for giving yourself a good stretch every day -- esepcially if you're training in other disciplines, like weight training & cardio. Most other yoga videos are at least double the length, and I find that hard for me to fit into my workout schedule. But twenty minutes is no problem! And, a little yoga every day gets you results much faster than a lot of yoga every so often.

I came to this tape after having done ... Read More
