Different Workout

"I own all of Ms. Contello's DVD's and I think that her workouts are very "mindful" and inspirational. The workouts are broken down into 3 workouts on each DVD. Each one is similar to one another, but a little more challenging @ each interval. I REALLY like her music that she chooses and she is very personable in her instructions, which are easy to follow. I would recommend this (and other) DVD's to anyone. It is a really neat twist of yoga/dance/whatever. It brings a spice to any workout collection and also opens your mind a little wider to the way you percieve things in life."
What a joy to exercise!

"I've had Sarina's three Yoga Dance DVDs for a few months and I continue to use them regularly (at least 2-3 times per week).
Yoga Dance Earth is the most aerobic and challenging of her DVDs and you will get a good leg workout dancing African-style to the beat of the drums. You will also work your arms a lot, especially in the third workout.

"I love Yoga Dance Earth! Serena is very encouraging, not at all intimidating as she leads you through flowing steps, easy lunges (not too low, and with a dancey flair), and some upper body movements to gently tone your body. This is NOT a traditional sculpting workout - there are no weights, etc., and the exercises are hidden in the dance -- but it is a lot more fun! The simple drumbeat in the main workout works well with the fun African/Middle-Eastern style hip and shoulder moves, and she does an encouragig affirmation dance/chant ("I love my skin, I love my face, and I celebrate me!") The three 20-minute workouts are similar in nature, so it's not often that I do all three at once -- but I usually do one from Yoga Dance Water after doing one from Yoga Dance Earth!"
Save your money

"Seriously, this dvd is so-o-o short, and quite disappointing. I don't know why it is called Yoga Dance because there is no reference to any yoga posture or explanation of correct ways to hold the body to receive full advantage from the workout. I'm sure this teacher is a very sweet person who has wonderful classes, but this does not transfer well to a DVD program. I have had a lot more success with teachers like Shiva Rea who give real instructions as they teach."
