Yoga Sanctuary: A Guided Hatha Yoga Practice

The CD comes with a poster showing photographs of all the postures, including the steps taken to get into and out of them.

Although I feel this CD could be used by beginners, to get the most out of it I would suggest that you attend at least a few classes beforehand, otherwise it might be a little too fast with not enough explanation.

For intermediates, you can tailor the sessions to cover whatever you wish, and can relax your mind not having to worry about which asana to do next and just listen to the instructions.

My only real criticism is that not enough attention or instruction is given to breathing throughout the CD, which to beginners is vital. I also found that I couldn't breathe slowly enough to keep in pace with the instructions, and was therefore breathing unaturally slowly. The music during the final relaxation was also too loud and distracting.

In summary, if you were to take out the music and speed it up a fraction, this CD would be very good.
