I ordered Yoga dance fire, and received the Yoga dance fire cd case, as well as a cd that is marked as Yoga dance fire, but the workout that is recorded on the dvd is actually yoga dance; water!
I was very dissapointed that I did not recieve what I ordered, if I wanted Yoga dance:WATER I would have ordered it. It makes me wonder if I do go ahead and order Yoga: Dance water, will I get the Water workout on the actual disc, or maybe I will recieve the Earth or Fire workout instead.

Sarina is a fabulous instructor and her motivating words and soothing voice, together with the wonderful music and gorgeous free-flowing movements, make it a joy to exercise. And it’s such fun!
I love all three ‘Yoga Dance’ DVDs, and use them at least twice a week, either as a great warm up before a more intense workout or on days when I’m feeling lazy and don’t feel like working too strenuously. However, once I start dancing with Sarina, I find myself wanting to dance and stretch all night long.
The ‘Fire’ DVD contains three 21 minute workouts (which I think were initially made for television). Each workout is then divided into three segments – warm up (the longest segment and my favourite), the ‘workout’ section (which for me is only mildly aerobic and does not enter ‘fat burning’ territory) and cool down. I enjoy combining 2-3 warm up sections and doing all the stretches at the end. The three ‘workout’ sections are quite similar to each other, so I don’t often combine these.
Other reviewers have complained about the lack of yoga, yet this DVD contains lots of lovely stretches and balancing poses, and Sarina encourages you to breathe with the movements.

I don’t know much about Yoga, but there appears to be little Yoga in this DVD. So, if you’re looking for that specifically, you probably would want to look elsewhere. After doing the exercises, I found that Sarina is a fun, kind-hearted person, and the DVD is fun and fast to get through. There isn’t real instruction on the dance moves, and you’re encouraged to just enjoy yourself . . . which I do! I find myself giggling at Sarina sometimes, because she’s so free-spirited and it comes into the exercise. It doesn’t feel like you’re working out because you’re encouraged to have fun and just take care of yourself.
I guess the only thing I can see most people having a problem with is that Sarina’s silliness could be easily taken as being cheesy. The majority of Americans who feel the need to be “macho” or serious would be uncomfortable using the DVD (that is, if anyone else knew they were watching it, or if the others that knew were “macho” or “too serious” for this kind of thing). However, if you enjoy actually relaxing through working out instead of feeling like you’re exercising the whole time, this is a good one!
As far as impact goes, there are a few moves that require jumping, but as Sarina says in the DVD, you can listen to your body and easily adjust the moves to your body’s needs and easily avoid any impact to your knees or feet. That makes the work outs pretty much good for all ages, I think. There are three work outs on the DVD, and I think they are probably 20-minutes each, but I honestly didn’t check the time because I was enjoying myself.

I agree with the prevoius reviewers for the most part.
It’s just her alone in a leotard with a hipscarf & barefoot on a stage with hardwood floors with a sweet voice. The music is great, different styles such as eastern, western, Celtic, etc. all with strong beats & some lyrics.
The workout themselves are not complicated, they are very watered down, very basic version of popular dances, etc. , that I barely recognized them. Some of the dances seemed a little silly like just doing an airplane like a little kid does, but she encourages you to dance how you want to, just feel the beat & go free.
I didn’t get much of a workout at all, even at the 3rd style workout (I didn’t do all 3 at once. ) The third one was only a little different from the first one so I was disapointed by that, but not really suprised. I like the idea of combining dances & more of a freedom, but I, unfortunately, really didn’t get into it.

As a breast cancer survivor I’ve been looking for a moderate workout to do at home and this is a perfect solution. The music is wonderful, a great mix, and Sarina has a sweet voice and even sweeter enthusiasm. It simply makes you feel good! I’ve ordered her other two (Water and Earth) and I’m looking forward to using them.
I’ve had some ballet and yoga training so following along was easy and she encourages you to “make the movements your own. ”
This is a wonderful quick way to start your day or to squeeze in a short workout at the end of the day.
