Well, I don't understand what everyone saw in this that I missed, but clearly, I missed it. This is definitely NOT a workout for beginners. It is far too difficult, too long, too advanced, too fast, with far too little instruction. There are many better yoga DVDs out there. Yes, I surf. Yes, I have a regular practice. May I suggest Rodney Yee's "Yoga For Athletes"? Not specifically for surfers as this one claims to be, but superior in production, and he leads you through the routine...and you may actually use it.
