AM/PM Yoga Does "the" Job - Rating: 4/5
This is a good DVD. The practices/movements are very relaxing. Instruction is at a good pace. I look forward to my twice a week yoga sessions. My only complaint is that there is way too much talking at the beginning of the DVD. I recommend this for beginners and intermediate users who like a full range of motions in a relaxing, less intense setting.
Versatile and Relaxing - Rating: 5/5
This DVD is a wonderful DVD with a great selection of practices on it for both the morning and the evening.
Barbara's voice relaxes me and she offers great guidance and instruction on how to get the most out of the poses. The music is balanced well with the waves and and this helps with relaxtion. I try to do something from this DVD at least every other day and having the shorter routines have helped me accomplish this no matter how busy I get.
Highly recommended.
Not Impressed! - Rating: 2/5
I'm not a big fan of this DVD! It is very broken up and doesn't have a good flow to it at all. The music stops with each position change. I've also never heard anyone talk all the way through savasana - it's supposed to be the relaxation/meditation pose. I find it really annoying on this DVD.
Just what I wanted - Rating: 5/5
I'm very happy with this yoga program. The instruction is good, and the instructors voice is very calm and soothing. It's filmed on a beach and that also adds to it. There's about a dozen routines and it's broken up into a morning section and evening section and both have routines of different lengths. I think it would be good for anyone, not just for beginners.
Great way to start the day - Rating: 5/5
I've been using the "am" section of this DVD and these routines have been a really nice way to start my day. They range from 15 minutes to 45 minutes, so even on a busy weekday I've been able to fit one in. For really busy mornings, the 15-minute "get up and go" or "sun salutation" have been perfect. On weekends I like to do the 45 minute "extended wake-up."
