Transform Now Power Yoga DVD by Niki Perry

Suitable for all!
Whilst I used to do yoga in the past, I moved to running for a period of approx 6 years. This had fused my joints and I had lost all of the my flexibility. Since suffering a knee injury due to the repeative nature of running, I decided to add yoga back into my staple diet. With the added joys of lockdown, a yoga dvd seemed the easiest thing to purchase. This was a punt! And it was worth it!Niki has 4 work outs on this dvd, all with beginner - advanced poses within them. It makes it the easiest flow to follow and allows you to challenge where needed. I saw results in 2 weeks easily. She also has a lovely voice, which makes following her moves very easy and relaxing. You will ache, but it will be a good ache! Well worth the purchase.

Great for beginners!
I can be a little hard to please with fitness dvds, but this one I really like.I have found with yoga dvds that there aren't many aimed at beginner levels without being too easy, but this one seemed to be just right. It has a few different length videos on it, so you can pick based on how much time you have available and how much you can handle at your current fitness level. I found this really helpful because I frequently find myself skipping exercise on days when I feel strapped for time, but the 30 minute video is great for these days and helped with my motivation.I started off doing the 30min video, but quickly progressed up to the longer sessions, which is nice because you can see your progress. Niki Perry also provides plenty of instruction too so you don't have to fall over for trying to stare at the TV screen!Very happy with this purchase :)

Challenging but fun
I am relatively new to yoga, and am finding this dvd challenging but enjoyable. It is much harder and energetic than some yoga dvds, for example Barbara Currie’s,of whom I am also a fan but I guess that is the difference between Niki’s power yoga and ‘normal’ yoga. Niki is a likeable and engaging teacher, although spoiled it for me by irritatingly name dropping her ‘special friend Kate Winslet’. There is a choice of about 4 flows to choose from, although the 35 minute flow is clearly not for beginners and the 75 minute one is actually just over 60 minutes, once the introductory blurb has been endured. The 45 minute flow is great and I am trying to practice it as much as possible, interspersed with 2 sessions of the ‘75’ minute flow when I have time. I can definitely feel that my thigh muscles have got much stronger in just 4 weeks of practice. You can’t help but like Niki and I recommend this dvd for anyone who wants to make their yoga practice a little more intense.

Too hard for a beginner
I have found this really difficult, too advanced for me, I'm 55 and haven't done any yoga for years, I was disappointed tbh.

poor quality of sound and bad instructions
The instructor is talking in the studio so it feels that the sound is coming from a distance. She herself is very good in doing the asanas but not teaching anyone exactly. It feels that she is doing yoga with a friend as oppose to teaching others. The beginners session is extremely slow, lots of talk and boring. Not worth the money.

More than just a Yoga DVD.
This DVD is a wonderful way to join Niki from a distance. You feel like you are having a private yoga session. She is down to earth and she knows that you will be coming at this from all levels of experience. I have dabbled with Yoga before but researched and came to this Power Yoga at a time when I needed to feel phisically stronger. This lady knows her stuff and you feel safe in her company like you would with a personal trainer by your side. I completely zone out and enjoy some me time. She shares her life and love of the practice and all things good for you through her website. Her Lentil Dhal recipe is amazing! Highly recommend you buy this DVD.#so goodforbodymind&soul. Namaste.

Poor audio, skips too but good instructor
I can only give this DVD 2 stars as it skips so badly I couldn't complete the workout. Unfortunately there was no option to have a replacement sent to me and I was unable to contact the seller directly, only via amazon. I have received a refund for this but am undecided on whether to spend another £15 on it. Very poor audio on it, almost echos. I think it's surprising low budget. No music at all, I would have liked some relaxing music or something but I guess that's just personal choice. Can't really comment on if it works as couldn't finish the workout. Instructor herself is warm and engaging but audio lets it down. For the price I'd have expected more.

Best Yoga DVD on Amazon
I cannot rate this DVD highly enough. I’ve had this for several months months now and use it 2-3 times a week to compliment my classes. I find it challenging every time and build up a good sweat! Niki has a great teaching style and each section has different variations so it’s great for all levels. I’ve recommended this to several friends who all equally love it. There are different workouts depending on how much time you have. The 35 minute one is great as she makes you work extra hard so you still feel like you’ve had a proper workout!If you’re after a decent yoga class to do at home - this is it! For me, none of the other highly rated DVDS cut it.
