Jerry Hall - Yogacise DVD

From the moment Yogacise begins--with adorning shots of a heavily made-up Jerry Hall--it's hard to take it seriously. The brainwave of teacher Vimla Lalvani is a combination of the ancient system of yoga and stretching and is intended to help urban stressful living. However, Lalvani and celebrity student Jerry Hall seem to be appealing to an older, wealthy lady whose stress comes from where to lunch. Aside from working out the fusion between yoga and stretching (isn't yoga based on stretching?), the format of the video is difficult to follow. With a multitude of graphics... competing for attention, and the constant switch between three set locations (resembling Christmas Grottos), this is stressful viewing. Added to this is the fact that for the majority of the programme Lalvani and Hall face each other--a profile view of the positions is difficult to replicate if you're a beginner. The addition of a voice-over makes it hard to coordinate the movements. Vimla Lalvani is an established teacher with no need for gimmicks and it would have been far more interesting to see the Jerry Hall we don't know, rather than Mick Jagger's ex-missus looking like she's on the set of a hair and make-up ad. --Lorna V [show more]
