Certified instructor description: A unique fusion of traditional power yoga and hardcore body sculpting. Yoga purists beware — the poses may be familiar, but the goals, sequencing and “bad ass” attitude are pure Jillian Michaels. For example, Jillian knows that a classic yoga chair pose is similar to a squat. So, she has you “rep it out” — 15 full-range-of-motion repetitions that end with an isometric hold. That technique is repeated throughout the entire workout. So, while there are lots of genuine yoga elements, Jillian’s overall goal is muscle endurance (not “peaceful mind/body bliss”). The first workout is easier; the second has some tough balance and flexibility moves (modifications are shown). ©2010. DVD has: Spanish option, Close captions, Region 1.

Jillian Michaels' Yoga Meltdown
My least favorite Jillian workout
I like Jillian. I like yoga. I like workouts. I like the length of the workouts. But, it just doesn't seem like Jillian's cup of tea. I prefer Shiva or Cathe Friedrich's new Yoga Max or Yoga Relax. I really like Jillian's other workouts, especially Shred it with weights and 6 pack. - posted by Alisha on 4/30/2012

marvelous yoga workout
Still surprised a yoga workout could be intense. Fabulous!! Go for it folks, great workout without equipment!! - posted by Gloria on 3/22/2012

So hard that the instructor can't do parts of it
This is not a relaxing yoga routine. It's challenging aerobics and outrageous positions. In Level 1 Jillian instructs but does not do some of the exercises. In Level 2 she admits that she can't even do the beginner modifications for some of the exercises. Standing on your elbows anyone? - posted by Sue on 3/12/2012

Gave us both back pain
My wife pulled a low back muscle doing this video and a week later I felt a bit of a pinch in my back too. We're actually quite fit people (she 120 lbs and me 165 lbs). This video is just dangerous, heed the warnings and stay away! - posted by Alex on 1/26/2012

Yoga Meltdown!
I love this video. I have had a hard time getting into Yoga as I do not feel as though I am getting a great workout in. This is fantastic! I really find that I am challenged and sore the following day from all the great moves. I would recommend this to a beginner as well as an intermediate person. - posted by Sara on 1/26/2012

Love this!
I really like this workout and am surprised to see the negative reviews. It's definitely not traditional yoga, but still uses yoga poses to work your entire body. I also work up a sweat, which is always a plus for me. I'm a runner and consider myself to be intermediate to advanced on cardio and intermediate on strength, to give you and idea on level. I still can't do all the moves in the second workout, so I stick to the first because it is awesome! - posted by Jen on 1/11/2012

Yoga Meltdown, dissapointing
I absolutely love Jillian's 30 day Shred video and I wanted something else from her that was in the 30 minute range. But I have to agree with the other reviews, this is just not a good video. I knew that was not going to be a traditional yoga video when I purchased it. I expected it to be fast paced with some yoga moves. But Jillian has bad form, and she repeatedly tells you to seal the Mountain pose which is just so wrong. Additionally she does not do the flow poses correctly. I knew it was a risk when I purchased this video but I had high hopes that it would still be a favorite of mine. Your arms will feel the effects of holding the plank poses. - posted by Stacey on 1/5/2012

melted down
The video arrived on time and in perfect condition. I; however, am not. Boy I thought yoga was supposed to be relaxing. I should have known better than to mess with Jillian. She kicked my butt first round. - posted by Tracy on 12/28/2011

not a huge fan
I tried this video and was not a fan. I could not see the tv in half the poses so I turned it off very frustrated. I do enjoy Jillian Michaels, and use another of her videos religiously, but this one just sits on my shelf. maybe if I go back to it when I get bored of her others I will feel differently, but for now, I was not impressed. - posted by Tina on 11/7/2011

Awesome Video!
I never liked yoga before but this video changed my mind. it's such a great workout and includes cardio as well as strength - posted by Holly on 9/23/2011

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Spanish option

In addition to English, you can choose to hear the program in Spanish.
