"Good for beginners"

Mine just arrived yesterday & being somewhat new to yoga, I'm just happy to have a kit finally. However, I could see right away that the mat is far too thin & will be replaced with a thicker one soon. I'll be letting my 3 1/2 year old daughter use the mat from this kit for her yoga practice, but only with an area rug or something underneath.

The dvd is nice. It doesn't look like a low-cost production & the instructor can be easily heard as she gently guides you. But... I'm new & already more advanced than this video is. If you can bend over & touch your toes without bending your knees, you're probably more flexible than the people this dvd is meant for.

The block is great & so is the strap. No criticisms there.

Overall, I'm happy with my purchase & don't regret it because it was so cheap. I got what I paid for & expected. This mat will get me through the first few months & I've already found plenty of free full length yoga lessons online to keep me happy so the dvd issue isn't even a problem for me. 3 stars

"good beginner yoga kit"

I have done yoga for several years. I needed a sticky mat when I found myself transplanted several states away to take care of my mom. I ordered "The Firm" because it was inexpensive and included a brick. The mat is nice and sticky, but you do need a carpet or rug underneath. The mat is too thin for using on bare floors. For beginners the video was pretty good too, although the instructor exhales out of her mouth a few times. 4 stars

"Amazing!"

I love the Firm's products, and I was excited when I saw this set. It comes with a sticky mat, foam brick, cotton strap, and DVD. The DVD's exercises are led by Allie Del Rio, my favorite Firm instructor! The workout is very soothing, relaxing, and not difficult to follow at all. I don't do yoga for inner peace or harmony or wellness...I do it to get flexible! This workout is fantastic! I'd give it 10 stars if I could! 5 stars

"This is great!!"

I'm so glad I ordered this. It comes with the DVD, the mat, the brick and bands to help you really stretch. I looked for a Yoga DVD at the store and it cost just as much as this but it didn't come with anything else like the mat. The video is great for a beginner. I picked up on the moves right away. It was very relaxing too. The only thing was I wish it was a bit longer than 30 minutes or at least had the option to do another work out. All in all I loved it though. I would recommend it for anyone trying to learn Yoga or just trying to relax after the work day. 4 stars
