I am often to busy to be active and thus am not very flexible. I found this video to be perfect. It gets me alitlle cardio and lots of stretching to improve blood flow and muscle strength. It fits well into my schedule. If I has different options based on the time I have available.

my doctor recommended that i take up yoga for the health benefits, she and i are both Christians. i was so happy at first to see you offered an alternative exercise. but when i got it and watched the DVD, i was disappointed, it was not slow easy stretches and deep breathing. this DVD is not suitable for people with shoulder or neck injuries or just out of shape. i needed a slow stretching exercise. still do. but i was recomponsated fpr the product.

This DVD has a good Yoga work out, but seems kind of old or not very modern. Looking for "real" Christian contemporary DVD this is not it. No music and the instructor seems fake a too "happy" Overall a good work out but too annoying for me to use on the regular basis. Unfortunately I think I wasted my money on this.

The concept behind this video is great, but the production is lacking. For example when the Bible verse being presented was covering the pictures of the participants, making it hard to follow along with the moves. The narration came across as very forced. I think I would enjoy this as a class in person, but probably won't continue trying the video version.

I've been wanting to try yoga but not wanting to be influenced by the religious end and was glad to find this Christian alternative. I really like the scripture affirmations. Very cleverly done.

I've never done yoga before and wanted to try the exercise benefits without the negative spiritual aspects. I found this routine hard to follow for a first-timer. Also the sound quality for most the DVD is very poor.

This is an amazing work out, I felt really stretched and conditioned. The poses are challenging yet offer easier variations too. My favorite is the prayer meditation time. It allows you to unwind and relax after a hard day. It's very uplifting.

I dabbled in the "exercise part" of Yoga a couple of years ago and hurt my back, so I stopped. I was on the fence about how Yoga can lead to the New Age Movement but since reading up on the subject, I have a better understanding of how curiousity can grab hold of you when your not looking. I love the whole idea of Praise Moves and appreciate Laurette sharing her journey from New Age to Christianity. But because I have a bad back, hip and knee, there were some moves that I could not do in this DVD. Some of the moves are Yoga stretches but doing them and reciting scripture confuses me a little. Again, I like the "idea" of it but maybe I'm not just getting it.I have a regular beginners Yoga DVD that has nothing to do with meditation. The way the instructer teaches is slow enough for me to move from one pose or stretch to the next. He never mentions "the universe" or the "god within."I am a mature Christian woman and I personally have no desire to meditate while exercising. I never had a desire to search for anything to fill me except for Jesus and His written word. Meditation for me happens when I read the scriptures or write a christian devotional.However, I think it is very important for every Christian to research all things we intend to get involved with and then pray about our decision.Last but not least, this DVD was damaged and I could not return it because I threw away the packaging. But, It is a good DVD for those who can do it and overall, I think it is a wonderful alternative for those who were caught up in the "yoga and new age movement." I would like to see Laurette make another.

I orderd this DVD a couple of months back, I found that I enjoyed the word that was in the DVD .But found that is a little out dated & slow for me. But will pass it on to who may benefit from it & hearing Gods word. Thanks again

Wow!! THis is probably the most excellent exercise Dvd I have heard ever! Since I am blind and unable to see the moves, I can't use most Dvds. But Lorette is very descriptive about how to do the postures. She gives enough description in the warm ups that it is easy enough to follow it well enough by just listening to it. Thanks Lorette for an alternative to Yoga. I tried Yoga and felt good, but then I had a hard time studying the Bible. I really think there is an Eastern influence that Yoga has that is dangerous.

I was looking for a yoga alternative and this is it. I love the stretching along with the reflection on God's word. It is a great way to find a focus for the begining of your day. There are two workouts with one being about 20minutes which is great for the busy person who is trying to squeeze in a workout. I always feel so good and refreshed after doing these exercises. She gives you scriptures to reflect on so that you can really use the time to focus on the Lord.

I was thoroughly pleased with this DVD. It gave me a wonderful workout, and I particularly enjoyed the scriptures used. Caution: if your body isn't used to exercising, start off with a short session (perhaps 20-30 min. for the first few days)and slowly build up your workout time while having fun with this wonderful DVD.

This a a good low impact way to start/end a day or to fill in when I can't make it to my regular exercise class. It is low impact, but offers good stretching poses. The only thing I don't like is that they don't move to the beat of the music in the cardio warmup and that throws my moves off sync with them!

I bought this dvd because it was like yoga but with Christian emphasis. It is a great easy-going exercise video , but because I have chronic back and neck problems, I was not able to do some of it. I wish I could because it's a very nice exercise routine. Anyway, I passed it on to my 30 something daughter.
