**Candlelight Yogawith Sara Ivanhoe**I wanted to get a yoga workout DVD, but I had no idea which one to get. Sometimes it is a hit or miss because of the volume of yoga workout DVDs on the market today. I was watching FIT TV channel one day and caught a yoga routine by Sara Ivanhoe. She is very easy to follow and helps you to relax during the poses. I decided to do a search on her yoga workout DVDs and ended up purchasing the **Candlelight Yoga**. Sara Ivanhoe is a certified yoga instructor. She describes her fitness philosophy as *"Yoga is like a marathon, not a sprint; slow and safe persistence gives you the best results. The main thing is to have fun and keep your sense of humor. Enjoy and you're more likely to stick to it."* Sara Ivanhoe's focus is on breathing, flexibility, looseness and relaxation, not achieving the perfect pose. The DVD begins with a very gentle warm-up stretch and it ends with plain relaxation. The set is beautiful with LOTS of glowing candles on the floor. Sara Ivanhoe guides you through a series of relaxing poses, while helping you to keep the focus on the breath. There is quiet instrumental music with some soothing nature sounds. All you need is your yoga mat and bare feet. I prefer the [Hugger Mugger Solace Yoga Mat][1] . I've been doing yoga for over a year now. The **Candlelight Yoga** is the perfect yoga workout for me because it is gentle and not overpowering. The workout is very relaxing. Sara Ivanhoe has a soothing voice and she doesn't talk too much. You have enough time to do the poses and relax while listening to the music. The music on the DVD is very relaxing and doesn't distract you from the yoga workout. The DVD also includes an extra workout to energize you that last about 15-minutes long. I do the candlelight yoga workout every other day, which is about 40-minutes long. The other days I try to do the energizing workout.I would recommend the **Candlelight Yoga** to anyone new to yoga or searching for a calming yoga routine. I feel that yoga is less about exercising, and more about centering yourself and your breathing, while stretching and relaxing your muscles. I give it ***5 Stars***! *Thank you for reading.
