it is. I actually puehsacrd this set from a local bookstore. I started practicing Hatha Yoga in 1986 from a paper back I puehsacrd, when I was trying to stop smoking and get fit. Thank God for DVDs. It was difficult holding the book open or getting it perched somewhere where you could see it and follow the instructions. I nearly pulled my hair out, yet I persisted. I found the candle light practice very helpful in giving up smoking. I was able to set my last pack of cigerettes down with ease. I stopped practicing for 15 years. I have found myself getting stiff and inflexible so I decided to get back into it and I picked this up. I found this DVD to be simple, straightforward and certainly easy to follow, if you watch the instructor. Yolanda has a very relaxing voice and you do not feel rushed when you are following her instruction. As I watched it for the first time I almost fell asleep. As a returning practioner I found it to be exactly what I needed although I was a bit bothered by the lack of specifics while directing some of the movements, which could be a good thing but in this case you would not learn to practice the movements on your own, without the DVD. On the other hand you wouldn't find yourself in the middle of a lecture suddenly wanting to raise your left arm over your chest while raising your right leg, if you get my drift. The entire DVD is filmed in what appears to be a small studio with no other distractions. The 65 page booklet offers additional poses with more detailed instruction and all of the various poses which I found helpful. I decided it would be a great introduction to yoga and stretching for my 12 year old niece who likes sports and will be playing soccer and softball this summer, so I decided to give it to her to get her started. For what it says it is I gave it 4 stars. Help other customers find the most helpful reviewsa0Was this review helpful to you?a0 | a0
