Our yogathon (http://dsfanboy.com/tag/yogathon) is winding down, but there are a few important things yet to cover, such as ... can Let's Yoga (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/05/05/lets-yoga-we-did/) compete with a yoga DVD? Exercise DVDs are a huge market -- could a game possibly one-up that industry? We went through a step-by-step comparison of the features of Konami's trainer and a beginner yoga DVD available at a big box retailer.
Yoga for Beginners (http://www.amazon.com/Yoga-Journals-Beginners-Journal-Yoga/dp/B000067D1C/ref=pd_bbs_sr_4?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1210576780&sr=8-4) with Patricia Walden comes with a thick booklet detailing all the included poses, as well as guidelines for creating your own workout (http://www.dsfanboy.com/2008/05/08/lets-yoga-diy-workouts/). In order to use the DVD with them, you'll have to do a lot of fast-forwarding and rewinding; for all intents and purposes, the DVD only includes one lesson. You've already seen what Let's Yoga can do, if you've been following our yogathon, but we've got a chart comparing some of the features of the two after the break.
