Stratusphere Yoga

This is an excellent yoga practice for people looking to integrate yoga into their fitness program. I bought it after following Stratus for years in Oxygen Magazine. I definitely feel like Stratus's approach is yoga for fitness. If you're looking for more of the hippy dippyness of yoga and mediation, then try a different practice. When I'm wanting that style, I do a practice from Shiva Rea or Kino McGregor. When I want to get on my mat and get a good, sweaty workout, I put in Stratusphere Yoga. This practice maximizes time with no extra frills and the practice is no joke. That being said, it is accessible to any beginner, but also challenges even the most fit person (crow pose, anyone?). I love the no-nonsense approach, the friendly demeanor of Stratus, and the flow itself. I almost forgot to mention how awesomely customizable the workouts are. There are 5 sessions of 10 minutes each. Each session pretty much works the entire body because of the nature of yoga, but they are tailored to work specific areas. Via the main menu, you can combine the 10 minute sessions to mix and match for the workout you need that day. So...maybe some days you do all 5 sessions for a 50 minute full body workout, or maybe you do legs, abs, and back one day, and shoulders, biceps, and triceps another day. What I love about this, is how easily it integrates into a weight training program. If you have a day you train your legs, or shoulders, or back, adding the 10 minute Stratusphere practice is an awesome way to get strength and stretching into your program. I'm so glad I purchased this DVD. Now, if only Stratus would come out with another. Fingers crossed that she does!

I've been doing this workout for over 5 years now. It's life-changing, intense, and very satisfying. Whenever I have someone ask me about my yoga workout, I tell them about this DVD. I've purchased this DVD for friends numerous times and they love it!

This is a great dvd. I had purchased it a few months ago and finally really started it January 1st. I have changed my diet and also do some other exercises on my own at home and I have lost 17lbs so far. I had only taken one yoga class in my life and I enjoyed it so I thought I’d try this. I like how it’s separated into parts so you can either do 10 minutes at a time or all 50 minutes. Trish does move a bit fast but once you continually do it, you get used to it. I’ve been of Trish since her wrestling days. This dvd is worth it. Enjoy!!

I would rather do yoga at home than at the gym, so when I found Stratusphere Yoga, I was so excited. This DVD combines active yoga with strength training (through the weighted gloves that are recommended for each practice). There are four different practices which target different parts of your body; you can do any or all of them. Trish Stratus is energetic and motivational, but not annoying or fake. There are modifications for yogis of all ability levels. I love that this DVD offers a yoga practice that is different than what most DVDs offer; it is energetic and I truly feel that it combines the best of both yoga (stretching, relaxation, refreshment) and an active workout (strength-training, increased heart rate, etc.). I would recommend this to anyone trying to diversify their practice.

Yoga routines are combined with weights either the exact pair Trish wears or you can get a decent cheaper pair online or your local sports store. The transitions are fast and are broken into 10 minute routines that are set to tone a specific body part. You will sweat, tone and gain endurance combine this with a sensable diet and these routines done each day will shrink the waist line. There are modifications given so anyone should be able to perform the moves and work to the advance version overtime yoga is a practice and practice makes perfect. If this is what your looking for Stratosphere Yoga delivers.

I bought this DVD but once I choose a section, there's no spoken instructions. Do I have a bad DVD, or am I missing something? The sound works because I watched the original section explaining the workouts.

Love this workout too. It is different, and really not very easy. You might think that being a "yoga" inspired dvd that it would be easier, but it is not, which is good because it is challenging. I also felt good after. Not stiff and sore like my other workout dvds. I highly recommend it as a change from the norm.

Came with 2 discs. DVD Rom Copies.Could tell the episodes were downloaded illegally, due to upload user watermarks.Video quality is about 144 p. 240 tops.Can't say I'm disappointed, as I assumed this would be the case. Still glad to have the episodes in some way.

I like it but then who doesn't like trish stratus .... even better if I get her body! My 2 year old daughter always asks for "exercises on mummy" she does downward dog and lunges better than me haha ... then watches me n claps n cheers me on with "come on mummy you can do it!" And "well done mummy" whilst she's crawling round making it more difficult Haha

This workout is my lifesaver, doing it daily now. Part of the routine is done with my feet on the leather couch as exercise ball is not suitable for all poses.I even bought the fitgloves from Treadmill company. I'm building my confidence as a woman approaching menopause. Never felt my muscles so strong.I highly recommend this to all women as we start losing muscle mass with age especially after 40. Cardio is overrated and body sculpt burns fat so well.

If you are expecting a hard yoga video this is not it, despite all the comments saying that this is a hard video. If you're looking for a hard video you may want to consider Bob Harper yoga Inside Out series. The other thing that may drive you crazy as you attempt to watch this video is the music which isn't music, just four repetitive drumbeats that continues through the whole video. Overall I cannot recommend this for anyone looking for a more challenging video. It might be okay if you're relatively new to yoga but if you're looking for something difficult and you've been doing yoga for a while this is not it.

Girlfriend liked it.

This video is great but I found it a little hard on the knees. That is only because I hurt my knees a few years ago other than that it is a great workout.
