Rodney Yee still has new insights into yoga
By A3EZOJNLCXI05U on 2008-06-12
This yoga dvd follows Gaiam's usual formula - beautiful scenery, voice-over instruction, and soothing background music. A new feature is the ability to choose between detailed or minimal audio instruction - very nice once you've practiced the routine a few times. The interview with Rodney Yee gives some good insight into his path toward yoga. The best part is the routines themselves. New yoga concepts are presented, not just a re-packaging of the many titles featuring Rodney Yee that you may have seen and practiced. He offers advice during the routines that seems small but makes the poses work so much better.
The twists segment is my favorite.
New routines
By A65JUQGWK4WPP on 2008-07-23
We must confess that Rodney Yee is one of our favorite DVD-Yoga-Teachers. This DVD is great for three main reasons: 1) variety of routines = 5, 2) ability to have either detailed instruction or limited instruction, and 3) the routines are NEW. Gaiam has often repackaged routines from their library & so in the past you may have thought you were getting something new to add to your dvd library and you were actually getting something you already had. Very pleased with the purchase.
The Right Sequences for Each Day
By A2M9779CDUHUJN on 2008-07-15
In this DVD, you can do a different sequence each day of the week. As I interpret the default order of the choices, they are just right for the five-day workweek: standing poses to get your motor runnin' first thing Monday morning; backbends on Wednesday (over-the-hump-day) to counteract the effects of slumping over the computer; hip-openers on Friday to open you up after a week of being chair-bound. The twists (Tuesday) and forward bends (Thursday) are delightful additions and could be done interchangeably. Take advantage of extra time on the weekends to do more than one of the sequences.
On days that I prefer a more well-rounded morning practice, I do the A.M. portion of the Yee/Walden A.M./P.M. Yoga for beginners CD, then follow it up with a more targeted sequence from Yee's A.M. Yoga for Your Week. That combination loosens me up and primes me for a more challenging workout later in the day, whether it be yoga, pilates, kickboxing, hiking, whatever.
Oh, and the cinematography is as breathtaking as the music is enchanting. A delightful experience!
These Routines Keep Me Limber
By A2CV096PR9XAW9 on 2008-07-07
Rodney Yee's DVDs are all great, but this is my favorite because there are five 20-minute routines - one for each day of the week Monday through Friday. Though they are easy, they are beyond my current fitness level. Nevertheless, the instructions are clear and I'm never encouraged to do more than I can. I have never gotten injured while using a Rodney Yee DVD.
How Procrastinators, Busy People and Neophytes can get their yoga on.
By A2HGUQDHZ7CXQ3 on 2008-08-02
If you are a procrastinator, busy or new to yoga, this is the best DVD you could possibly purchase to integrate yoga into your life. I'm a procrastinator and, while I always -want- to do yoga, I always find 800 things that need to be done instead. This DVD, though, presents 20-minute yoga sessions to be done in the morning. No more daunting 60 minute commitment. I can have my yoga, coffee and shower within an hour of waking up, causing no interruption to my routine.
The box claims that there is a bonus "daily deep breathing and meditation guide" but I can't find it (and I've done all of the sessions, so the bonus isn't like some secret level that gets unlocked when you complete all your missions). My suspicion is that the box is referring to Rodney Yee telling me to breathe as part of the routine instruction and doing relaxation work at the end. I consider that standard, however, and will continue to believe that there is, in fact, no bonus feature as claimed.
- Yoga
By A2MKPFMINIH6CM on 2008-08-19
This DVD is awesome, I did the first 20 min set and at the end I thought, that was not really a work out, but I fealt great. The next day, I was so sore, meaning it was a great work out too. love it.
- Can't wait to get the other DVDs too!
By A22HBHU23AHENH on 2008-08-30
I just did the first week of AM Yoga and I thought it was perfect. 20 mins before my morning routine, is just what I need. I can't wait to try the others. He is relaxing but challenging-the setting is beautiful too. I recc. this product.
- Excellent Daily yoga workouts
By A119N6RBYA7B89 on 2008-09-02
I completely enjoyed doing these daily workouts. I like that you can choose what you want to do and they are all less than 30 mins. My two favorites are the hip openers and twists, but they are all great! The scenery is awesome and Rodney's cues are perfect! They are easy enough for a new yogini to do and great for experienced yoginis! You won't be disappointed with this.
- GREAT DVD. Very Convenient!
By A286XA4S4T7UQP on 2008-09-24
I LOVE this video. VERY convenient with the 5, 20 minute workouts! Love it. Very refreshing. Rodney Yee is a great instructor and have loved him for years. He makes everything easy to understand.
- Lacks understanding of using breath in yoga
By A2DIZFWC7NOR1G on 2008-10-03
This DVD might be right for some, but not for me. I give 2 stars for the nice ambiance associated with most Gaiam products. However as with most Yee routines the timing and flow is not in sync with the natural rhythm of the breath.
I would much rather do his orginal AM yoga routine every day then these five each day of the week.
