Leanne, thanks so much for the Amazon review! Caligurl, you're not the only one with a crush (girl or otherwise) on Zuzka -- all the other Amazon reviews at the moment just say "OMG I am so glad Zuzka did a yoga DVD! OMG I love Zuzka so much!!"

Becca and Sancho, thanks for your info as well. I'll need to give this one some thought - I like the idea of the shorter segments, but need to think about how I'd use this.

I know -- I have a total girl crush on her, too!

Even though I did the whole thing yesterday, I actually like the idea of just using a short segment a few times a week. Today I did a 45-minute barre workout, and then tacked on one of the ZYoga sections. It worked really well!

Random thoughts:

Moves look hard (especially the upperbody one) but so, so short.
Music is new agey and very light.
She does not chit chat or do anything to explain moves.
Set is beautiful. I think it is a real window view (not a picture).
Visually really nice. it seems very well produced to me.
Very serene.
So based on the fact that you are not a yoga person (neither am I) is this "athletic" enough to overcome that?

By no explanation do you mean she doesn't cue?

I'm not a yoga person either and wonder if this is something I'd like since I love her other workouts.

How long is each workout? I might be able to do short yoga.

She really is adorable. In the zcut video, she always says "we're going to do it together" really sweetly like we're going shopping and getting ice cream afterwards, but then she takes you through this crazy intense power cardio workout that knocks the wind out of you. lol

I also dig the way she says "ten" in her czech accent.

By "no explanation" I mean that she cues the move "downward dog . . . upward dog . . . plank . . . into chattarunga" but there is no explanation of what the move is or pointers or modifications. She doesn't make any cute quips or comments.

I would say this is "athletic". The only yoga I have done is Tony Horton's Yoga X and a couple of Bikram classes. From the preview, this seems similar to Yoga X. I can't really say how athletic it is because I haven't done it. But it's all moves (from the two sections I looked at) and not breathing or meditating or anything like that.

I know! She's one of those people you want to hate because she is so beautiful but you can't because she is so charming.

As I do her workouts I'm convinced I have a body just like hers. It's such a disappointment when I walk by a mirror. : )

Has anyone else had their DVD freeze up on them? I was so excited during the Warm-up section and then my DVD froze up repeatedly! Hope they will send me out a new one!
