Work muscles via repititions and slow, continuous movement

Reshape your abs, upper and lower body with targeted, muscle-isolating moves

Boost fat-burning muscle and bone density, which begin to decrease in your 20 and 30s

Be here now more easily with a more mentally demanding yoga practice

By keeping you continually in motion and adding three repetitions of most poses, Yoga Burn=B9s intensity creates the burn, building lean strength, stamina and flexibility to ignite your metabolism. At the same time, Yoga Burn=B9s deliberate focus demands the mind=B9s attention. The sheer slowness trains the mind to be present,says Rodney. It becomes a form of meditation, making your practice feel deep and more rewarding. Inspiring for beginners and challenging for experienced practitioners, this versatile DVD includes bonus, advanced option of the workout with verbal cues and music only.

Its very good! 4 out of 5

I think Yoga Burn is really good. I didn't give it a 5 starts because I would like it to be a little more challenging, maybe more repetition and more abs, but I guess that's why they made a Yoga Abs :P
This one really works though, it has tone my body rather quickly, and it is good for people that is returning to work out after being off for awhile.

I've had this dvd for the past four years. I haven't practiced yoga in a year or so because life just got very busy. However, I decided to start practicing again today and went back to this dvd. After four years, this is still one of my favorite yoga dvds. The poses are simple enough for beginners, but still a good work out for intermediate students. Since it is a slow pace you have to hold your poses longer, which means build more control over your muscles.

The poses you need to know are simple beginner's poses: downward dog, warrior poses, boat pose, chair pose, forward bend, staff, single leg staff, etc.

Right now, my muscles are complete jello, and I have a feeling they will just be sore tomorrow. SO instead I will do a combination of 1 session of AM Yoga for your week (also Rodney Yee) and the Beginner's Yoga (also by Rodney Yee) tomorrow and go back to Yoga Burn the day after. My goal is to work my way back up to Power Yoga (also by Rodney Yee) which is a lot harder workout.

Fantastic! Easy enough for intermediate yoga students but challenging enough for advanced! Relaxing, challenging, perfect! I feel so relaxed despite sweating through this dvd. Wish he included modifications though.

I am an intermediate level yoga practitioner, having done both hatha and kundalini for many years, and I generally favor a vigorous, moderately paced vinyasa flow class or kundalini class so this was a whole new experience for me. True, I love and do the original Power Yoga series by Bryan Kest and he holds the postures for long stretches of time, but the entire tempo of this DVD is uniquely and intentionally slow. Now often it's easy to associate slow with easy, and all yoga is essentially easy because you should only be doing what you can in the moment, but this practice is actually very challenging and a valuable tool for building physical strength. Being a reformed gym rat, I compare this to training with heavier weights for very slow reps (emphasizing the negative resistance) and just a few reps per move as opposed to using lighter weight and higher reps. One builds a base of strength, the other develops stamina and sculpts. Both are immensely important aspects of physical training of any kind.

This DVD begins with seated ab-work and twists, and I love that he does navel poses right away when you have your full strength for maximum safety. He gradually moves you into standing postures and it's really a new experience for me to not just hold poses a bit longer, but to move in and out of them with such stillness, slowness and mindfulness. That last aspect strikes me as a somewhat hidden benefit here as well; you are absolutely forced into maximum presence when you move this slowly, just to keep your form in tact, thus making this into both a physically strengthening series and a powerful form of moving meditation. I found that my daily frustrations melted away as I had to intently focus on my movements with this, and that feels truly liberating.

I also enjoy the unobtrusive and lovely music in the background. The set is aesthetically pleasing and you even have the option of either detailed instruction by Yee or just hearing him call out the basic posture names/descriptions if you would like a more quiet practice. And of course, as always Rodney demonstrates every pose and every graceful move in and out of them with perfect form. I find him inspiring without being intimidating, he never radiates ego like some teachers.

I think beginners can do this DVD safely if they do listen to what he's saying on the detailed instruction track, and I also think that an intermediate practitioner can benefit greatly from this class as a form of muscle confusion and slowing down their practice to focus on form. I find that even after over 20 years of practice, I personally fall prey to the tendency to rush through a vinyasa or a class at times and when we do that, we can lose crucial form factors very easily without noticing and we also miss out on the benefit of moving in and out of poses more mindfully.

I plan to alternate this with the vinyasa flow classes I also enjoy, and in that have the perfect yin and yang energies in my own home practice.

I read a review that said a beginner could do this tape. Not true unless you are very flexable or a contortionist. Rodney Yee is a master that has been doing yoga for over twenty years. He is truley great. This tape is way past my ability, I just started doing yoga and I am not flexiable enought for this work out.
