From simple stretching back into yoga - Rating: 5/5
With a few years of beginning and advanced beginner yoga classes under my belt I needed a hip replacement. Yow! A few weeks after surgery I bought the excellent "am & pm stretch" with Madeleine Lewis and finally feel ready to step it up a notch. If you've never ever done yoga before this might not be the best DVD to start with (take a class) but it's not too advanced even for a gimp like me. I like the variety and that each segment feels like a complete practice ending with relaxation pose. These aren't really flow practices; each pose is held for a good few seconds which helps me a lot, and Rodney's voiceover instructions add remarkable insight into the pose. You can also choose minimal instruction if you prefer. He seems a lot more relaxed here than in earlier DVDs and gives an interesting interview. You'll need a mat, block, strap, and bolster or folded blanket but aren't told which until you're into the routine. An entire segment can be completed in under a half hour, including turning on the TV, navigating the menus, and unfolding/refolding your mat. Highly recommended.
Relaxing! - Rating: 5/5
I have several dvds with Rodny Yee and I wanted something with more stretching. I do these workouts at the end of the day because it relaxes and stretches me after weight lifting and cardio.
Favorite Yoga DVD so far - Rating: 5/5
In terms of content, this is the best overall DVD. Although it is for A.M. I use this DVD all the time, at all times of the day. The sections are 20 minutes long and there are 5 of them, one for each day of the "work" week. (that means there are 5 routines) I like the fact that they can be done one session at a time OR I double, even triple them up and do really long sessions.
I have the Rodney Yee Power yoga which I also really like but it is very long. This DVD has everything the Power Yoga DVD has and you can get a shorter workout if you want.
Rodney leads you on an awsome Yoga experiance - Rating: 5/5
We have been doing yoga for several years and have a couple of other videos by Rodney. This is the best one yet. Great pace, feels great, absolutely love it, every morning.
Great way to vary your workout through the week - Rating: 4/5
These are fairly short workouts that allow you to focus on a different area each day. I bought it as a complement to my beloved AM yoga by Rodney to provide a longer session on mornings when I have a little more time. I found one of the session REALLY boring but I do it anyway in rotation with the others which are pretty good. Rodney doesn't tell you how to modify the positions if you can't get into them though but they are all fairly basic even for a home yogi like me!
