Exactly what it says it is, for a beginner, and a kit. It's perfect for someone who is not enlightened/fancy/rich person who can afford Yoga classes/etc. The mat works, the DVD is ideal, and all around a great bang for you buck!

I like this pad. It doesn't move on carpet and feels good beneath the feet. I would recommend the Firm.

It's a great starters kit for getting your own things! The video is nice and simple. Anybody could do it!

This is a very good yoga program to start off with if you have never tried yoga a day in your life. Its 30 minutes of calming and relaxing stretching. The instructor(Allie) is motivating and I like her style. I tried to do a different "beginner yoga dvd" and couldnt get pass the 1st move. This was easy to do and the included strap and brick help to take it to another level. Some say the mat is thin and cheap, but I have no problem with it, it is fine with me. This dvd offers really good stretches and helps me to relax and relieve stress after a long day or a really good workout. Intermediate and Advanced people should not buy this, it is too easy. Overall I liked it and use it weekly!

this dvd set comes with the mat, the brick and the strap, so considering what you would pay if you bought all that by itself, it's already a great deal in itself. The quality is very good and the yoga routine is great, too. I am a beginner, and I found it easy to follow, so if you are just starting to do yoga, buy this set instead of just a dvd, because you get all you need in one set for a very reasonable price.
