Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
With the slinky white leotards, the pastel set and the references to toning and firming, yoga purists might be quick to dismiss Barbara Currie's Seven Secrets of Yoga as yoga for middle England. Yet Barbara Currie is the Delia Smith of the yoga world--it's not just that what she does works, but she knows exactly how to make it work for the rest of us.

Though the title implies that this is a session divided into seven segments, there are in fact more than seven parts: a choice of two 10-minute miracles (beginners and advanced) recommended to start the day, followed by a series of six short sequences designed to work either as a sequence a day, or together in an entire, comprehensive session. Currie's precise instruction covers balancing the body and mind, working the lower back and toning bottom and thighs, toning the tummy and waist, working the arms and neckline, stretching the entire body and relaxing.

Though the focus appears to be toning up, the real surprise is at the end when Currie cleverly reveals the seven secrets: yoga is good for shape, weight, energy, relaxation, concentration, flexibility and youth. This is a succinct and inspiring explanation of the philosophy of yoga.--Lorna V




Rating: - Barbara is wonderful
I have had this video for some time but only thought of reviewing it after buying a couple of very inferior yoga videos by other people.

Barbara Currie really is great - yes, she does have a leotard with a belt, one armed outfits, etc, but a) she looks fabulous for however old she is and b) she praises you so much it's quite an ego boost doing the video - "You're doing jolly well.." and so on.

Seriously, these are very clear and easy to follow, they are really designed to ... Read More

Rating: - DO NOT BUY THIS - there are far better Yoga DVDs out there
A friend lent me this DVD and I have to say THANK GOD I didn't spend a penny on this DVD. Besides the cheesy and unflattering costumes, this woman rushes you through the poses and you barely have a chance to breathe and let it all soak in (kind of like this sentence LOL!). She's also reading from a monitor below her (you see her glancing at it between poses) which is just so unprofessional and lazy. Doesn't she know her routine before she performs it? There is zero passion in this woman. At some ... Read More

Rating: - Yoga will get you there
Yoga will get you there - she promises, and she delivers. Used her videos years ago but bought this dvd as no video machines in home these days, for a pre-hol workout. It worked. I find I memorise her instructions after a while but use this with a few other different dvds to practice sessions. A mixture is ideal for variation in home yoga. I made 7 'crib cards' on her postures per sequence and took them on hol - and actually used them! A 10 min beginner (or the advanced beginner) is ideal when short ... Read More

Rating: - Barbara currie- seven secrets of Yoga
I am not very motivated when it comes to exercising but wanting to get rid of the extra weight since having my baby 8 months ago! i liked the idea that this was separated into 10 minute sessions as that would be quite easy to fit into a routine...(i did do a post pregnancy yoga DVD first until i thought i was ready)
Well i have done 10 mins at least every day for the last 2 months and on the days when baby is quiet and happy i manange to fit in 30 mins.
I have been eating a sensible diet along ... Read More

Rating: - For absolute beginners
I do like Barbara Currie - if for no other reason than the fact that she's not Geri Halliwell. Babs must be old as the hills by now, but she's about the most glamorous granny you've ever seen, and alarmingly bendy to boot. As others have noted, though, being bossed around by the uber-posh Ms Currie isn't everyone's cup of tea, and this is definitely yoga for toning and fitness rather than tranquillity. The `relaxation' that ends the programme is done at the same brisk trot as everything else.

As ... Read More
