It was probably inevitable that Jane Fonda, who played such a defining role in the aerobics boom of the 1980s, would be on the yoga train as well when it started rolling in the 1990s. And on this tape (recorded in 1993), she does a good job of it. The focus is on the "sun salutation," a connected series of poses that builds strength, flexibility, and balance, and with repeated practice this offers what Fonda calls "an excellent full-body workout." The program is divided into three sections, any one of which can be practiced on its own. The first breaks down the various poses comprising the sun salute, while the second is devoted to several repetitions of the salute itself; three variations are offered, two incorporating some of Fonda's own techniques and one that's closer to the "classical" or "Series C" salutation. The final section (which might actually be a better place to prepare for your practice than to finish it) focuses on relaxation and breathing. Fonda's manner is brisk, but her instructions are clear and concise, and while the tape isn't especially difficult, it should prove challenging enough for beginners and most intermediates. --Kelly Welldon

- Another good Jane Fonda tape
I have liked Jane Fonda's tapes since the first one.I can't do as much of her other tapes anymore (getting too old)so I thought I would try her Yoga tape.It is very good.Takes you nice and slow.Some other yoga tapes I have are just too difficult to do.They require more balance than I used to have.I can do this one and feel good when I am done.It has short segments to it so that you can just do it in a few minutes instead of feeling guilty if you don't finish a 40-60 minute tape.

- It is okay
It's a fair video as Jane tends to move the poses faster than I am used to. Okay for beginners.

Rating: - An awesome intro to yoga - if only there was a DVD!
"Jane Fonda's Yoga Exercise Workout" is one of the first exercise videos I bought, and it's still one of my favorites!
Jane starts out with a 20-minute stretching/toning routine that consists of a number of different poses.Next, she focuses on the Sun Salutation and leads you through a 15-minute segment based on the one sequence.She starts with the easiest variation of the routine, and gradually increases the intensity.Experienced yoga practitioners can repeat Level 3 (the most difficult ...
