Summary: Nice Yoga Addition
Comment: This DVD provides two shorter routines, once for A.M. and one for P.M., that are both done very well.
As someone who is newer to yoga I found that I was able to do the routines and make them part of my practice as an enjoyable addition.
Very recommended.
Customer Rating:
Summary: For busy yogis
Comment: This is a wonderfully done video, but definitely for someone who is busy and will only spend 20 minutes on yoga. It is not for an intermediate or advanced yogi who wants a more thorough practice. Both Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden are excellent instructors and make this a pleasing routine to follow.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ok
Comment: I found this DVD to be okay. I really enjoyed the am portion but agree with other reviewers that it is more of a nice short gentle stretch. But it is a great way to loosen up in the morning as I get pretty stiff when I sleep and he has a nice diversity of poses. However, he does not hold the poses long enough - often I'll pause the DVD to hold them longer. Once I am done (and I do the meditation) I usually run through a few sun salutations on my own and that gets the energy moving after Yee has so nicely warmed me up.
I did not like the pm section as much. Although beautiful and you can tell that the teacher knows what they are doing there are several problems. First is that it is primarily focused on the hamstrings and the shoulders. I'd really like my back stretched to prepare to relax for the evening. The amount of hamstring stretching can be a turn-off. Although this is important this is often the most difficult part of practice for many people so I can see why many feel that this is for 'contortionists'.
So overall the DVD is okay. The ads and intro are completely annoying at the beginning. I put it in and then go to the bathroom to give the DVD time to get to the menu before I get back. But nice easy way to start the day. I'd consider trying other Yee DVDs.

Summary: Great way to start the day
Comment: My husband and I use this almost every morning. I've been doing yoga for 30 years, but have developed various physical problems. I love my morning time following this tape and meditating at the end.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good (for a video)
Comment: I think this is great. I like both AM and PM routines. If you have a yoga background, I feel you'll benefit from this. If not, you may feel it's a bit fast.
I think it's a good introduction to yoga and something good to do when you can't make a class, but it definitely doesn't replace going down to your local studio and getting somebody to help you with your form. There is a lot more to yoga than this video lets on.
Overall, a very nice supplement to a yoga practice. Get it. :)
