The DVD begins with a disclaimer and encourages viewers to go slowly and be mindful of any pain or discomfit. At the beginning of the program, the girls provide an informative introduction to yoga. For each pose, one of the teens explains the pose while the other two demonstrate. The youngest sister models a modified pose which is helpful for beginners. The DVD can be watched in its entirety or viewers can select either the floor, standing, or seated classes. The program was filmed outdoors and occasionally the sound is muffled, but overall the production quality is good.
