Where is the belly part?
Added 8/4/2009
I have used this DVD several times, as it is a good basic yoga workout. I am not sure, however, of the belly part. I am never sore in my abs from this workout, and she doesn't concentrate on many core moves. I give it 3 stars only because, like I stated earlier, it is a good basic yoga workout.

Misleading Title
Added 9/8/2008
I bought this because I was excited about the prospect of a yoga routine targeted specifically to the core. However, this is just a basic intro to vinyasas and while it claims to have beginning, intermediate, and advanced postures, the camera rarely ever focuses on the girl doing the advanced forms so how can we follow it? I recommend this DVD to those who want to learn basic yoga postures but not to those already well-versed in yoga. It will frustrate you as she focuses on the beginners, dragging out the routine and slowing me down without offering the option to focus on the advanced. I am giving this to a friend who is new to yoga. I prefer Sara Ivanhoe's 20 Min Yoga Makeover: Flat Abs for a good core workout.

Better Belly?
Added 3/6/2008
I think the name is deceiving. While the stretches are great as is the instruction, there's WAY too much of it. Some of my pet peeves with this video are:
Too MUCH time spent on instruction;
Too much repetition;
Too much focus on arms and legs and not enough on core;
Actually BOTHERED my lower back vs. relaxing it
I can't see how this would strengthen your core. While I realize I have a pretty strong core and a pretty strong, flat lower stomach, even if I didn't I don't see how this would build those muscles. Maybe I'm missing something. I wouldn't say don't try it, but if you are looking for something closer to a miracle than doing nothing at all, this won't do it.

One of the best I currently have in inventory
Added 2/10/2008
I bought this dvd a couple of months ago because I love yoga but I also have a belly! This is one of the best workouts I do! Between Pilates and this belly yoga I and can see and FEEL a difference. If you are new to yoga this dvd will teach you the basics... this dvd is very relaxing and your body will feel wonderful. I never buy a workout dvd that is going to take any longer than 45 minutes, this one comes in segments but if you do the whole series it wont be any longer than 45 minutes. Actually Prevention has some of the best work outs in the industry as far as I am concerned.
