Actress Nicole Kidman's sister lends some second-hand star power to Antonia Kidman Yoga: The Power and Style of Ashtanga, a modified, nicely presented version of the practice that has become popular among Westerners seeking a vigorous yoga workout. The series shown here is less than an hour long, about half the length of the traditional ashtanga practice (serious users are encouraged to check out the DVDs and videos by Richard Freeman, perhaps the foremost ashtanga yogi in America), but it touches on the major areas: flowing sun salutations, standing poses, seated poses, backbends, and an inversion or two; many of these asanas demand a combination of strength, balance, and flexibility that may be too much for beginners, although easier variations are demonstrated. The instruction (by Kate Agnew; Kidman herself is the host) is adequate but incomplete, as is so often the case with yoga video products; there's no warm-up, and curiously, the few minutes devoted to yoga breathing, far and away the most vital component of any practice, come after the ashtanga series is over. More advanced users will have no problems with The Power and Style of Ashtanga, but the less experienced should watch the program once before actually doing it. Even better, if possible, take a few classes in person and then use it as a supplement to a regular practice. -Sam Graham.

Review R J's Yoga Adventures / Rj Yoga:

Join RJ the bear in RJ's Yoga Adventures-he's a friendly fruit and honey-loving sloth bear who will get your children off the sofa and practicing yoga in no time. Designed with the "get 'em young" philosophy in mind, the video appeals to children by presenting the yoga moves in an entertaining and meaningful way. Apart from the obvious physical benefits, yoga practiced at this early age encourages children to learn and follow instructions, and it heightens self-awareness while enhancing self-esteem. The programme also develops respect for the self and others and helps children learn to channel anxiety and stress. Joining RJ for the adventure is qualified children's yoga instructor Jenn Decker and Douglas the dog. Together they introduce children to basic stretching and yoga positions through fun themes, such as space and animals. Children imitate planets as they stretch and move, or become a bear. All these aspects form a fun and physical programme that provides a holistic approach for growing children to help them handle modern life. Physically, children will become fitter, more supple and, if practiced regularly, the programme will enhance many abilities that are important in other sports, such as flexibility, focus and general fitness. RJ's Yoga Adventures is a great way to introduce modern children to a healthy lifestyle. [+]
