Advantages: physical and mental improvement Disadvantages: must be practiced every day
...I practice Yoga for three years and here you will read what my impression is.
Yoga is a way of life. Yoga is for people who want to improve their selves physically and mentally. If your goal is to lose weight and improve physical condition only and you don?t want to change anything related with your mind then you will find that Yoga is boring.

ABOUT THE DVD
If one is interested and serious about taking up Yoga then this is the right DVD to get one started..The video demonstrates the basic postures or asanas clearly and gives tips on getting them right....
This DVD is perfect for Beginners and especially for those over 40, as many of the other 'ASANAS or Postures, mentioned in most other DVDs are meant for younger and fitter people...whereas the Aasanas shown here are easy to follow for anyone regardless of age...
The instructions by the Yoga Master is very helpful...
