Wii Fit Beginning Yoga Poses

In her review of Wii Fit for Suite 101, Susan Kristoff provides a high-level overview of all of the sections of the Wii Fit program: Yoga, Strength, Aerobics, and Balance.

For the purpose of this review, the focus will be on the yoga portion alone, in particular the first four poses available when you start up the game. There has been a great deal of skepticism regarding the concept of a yoga video game: whether it is effective, whether it takes the "soul" out of yoga. This review does not attempt to delve into opinion. For a critical review of Wii Fit, please see "A Yogi Speaks About Wii Fit Yoga."

The primary goal for this review is to clear up some important safety notes and modifications that would be mentioned by a yoga instructor, were you to try these poses in a studio.
