The BeachBody 3 Week Yoga Retreat DVD contains everything you will need to master the basics of yoga.
The course comprises 21 classes done over 21 days. The weekday sessions are approximately 20 to 30 minutes long each. On Sundays, you can choose between one of three different 10-minute routines.
Led by four renowned yoga experts – two male and two female – the instructions are detailed and very easy to follow. So much so that if you wanted to, you could execute the poses without looking at the video, just listening to it.
Each week’s sessions build on the previous week’s, taking you on a journey that, upon conclusion, will enable you to attend yoga classes confidently without appearing to be a newbie.
The videos show three people doing each pose. There’s the expert trainer, a second person following the trainer’s instructions, and a third person who demonstrates a modified version for people new to yoga.
Your progression rate is up to you. Stick to the schedule, or repeat each week’s lessons for as long as need be.
In this BeachBody 3 Week Yoga Retreat review, we will look at what you will be getting for your money and everything else you may want to know before purchasing.

Who will the program suit?
The 3 Week Yoga Retreat Workout Program will suit beginners who want to learn, understand, progress, and ultimately master yoga.
If chanting and working in a room with lit candles is a bit too “out there” for you, you’ll be pleased to know that neither feature in this course.
If you’ve been practicing yoga for a while and you’ve reached an intermediate or advanced level, this probably won’t be the program for you.
Are there any additional equipment requirements?
