My First Rodney Yee DVD that I actually like January 3, 2009 I've never been a fan of Rodney Yee's DVD's as I preferred more flowing type of yoga (like Shiva Rea) but I really love this one. It has 5 excellent 20-25 minute yoga practices that concentrate on different poses : standing , twists , backbends , forward bends and hip openers. every practice feels complete even though it's barely 25 minutes , each one ends with shavasana. Rodney Yee has great and detailed instruction , the scenery is beautiful and the music is good , now it's my most used DVD and it's a great as add ons to other workouts or for days you don't feel like working out but want a little stretching after a long day. Highly recommended.
Novice at Yoga December 16, 2008 Excellent video that offers a lot of helpful comments throughout the various poses. For those of us new to yoga it is a great way to learn and for those with experience I suspect it offers useful reminders about self-awareness in the poses. I've recommended it to several fellow runners looking to balance their running routines.
not "just like" his "am & pm yoga" dvd December 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well the scenery is beautiful, but I wasn't thrilled with the presentation. I thought it would be 5 mini-sessions modeled after Gaiam's "AM & PM yoga dvd" that I love and recommend to everyone. That DVD had a 20 minute full body session that warmed you up, had great hip openers, back bends, twists, etc and had a bit of meditation at the end. I thought this DVD would be like that one, having a warm up and a meditation for each, but focusing on different areas/stretches each day. It's not. When you start, say, the "hip openers" selection, Rodney Yee is already warmed up and going super fast for someone who just woke up (it is AM yoga after all, and I get up at 4:45 AM) then he slows down later but by then you are all frazzled and trying to keep up and the whole idea of starting your day with some tranquility and a nice little stretch is out the window. The stretch is there, but I am recovering from an injury so I need the warm up so that I don't re-injure myself. I guess I could do a warm up before the DVD, but I bought the DVD for this purpose so I guess I'm a little disappointed... Plus, they say it is 5 - 20 minute sessions, but they are closer to 30 minutes each, which is nice to get more than you expected, but not when you're trying to get out the door on time! I guess I'm back to the same routine from "AM & PM yoga" every day w/ Rodney.
great set of 5 different yoga sessions December 5, 2008 i like that this dvd has 5 different 20 minute workouts. w/ a busy schedule i am struggling to have time to do yoga or any exercise. this dvd helps! plus my fiance loves it so it is a great thing we can do together. it's our first rodney yee dvd and he seems great. at the time i write this review we are buying another rodney yee dvd in hopes of it being as great.
Very Oddly Organized November 29, 2008 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The workout/yoga segments in this DVD are organized in a way that is very odd (and not very good). From the Main Menu, you can choose: Standing Poses OR Twisting poses OR back-bends, etc. Each segment lasts about 20 minutes. To go from one 20-minute segment to another, you have to go back to main menu and select a different set of poses.
There is no "combined workout" or option to do an integrated workout/session. There are also no segments longer than 20 minutes. So if you want some variety and/or a longer session, this DVD will not really help you. I found this approach to organizing the sessions to be very odd, and not conducive to a well-rounded, seamless morning workout.
If I had know this was how they did this DVD, I would not have bought it, and unfortunately, I cannot say I recommend this DVD.
