Movie Review: The Right Sequences for Each Day
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Movie Review: Why I get up in the morning
Summary: 5 Stars
I never feel as good for the rest of the day as I do after finishing one of these five 30-minute sessions. Ideal for an advanced beginner/intermediate practice, Yee's insightful commentaries---almost as if he knows when you're forgetting to breathe, clenching your jaw, or pushing too hard with a hand in a twist---make it seem at times like you're in a class with an attentive teacher who offers minor corrections to improve your poses and help you get more out of them. When finished, I feel simultaneously at ease and invigorated to face the day. I hope Yee is working on a Volume II, since rotating through the five "episodes" goes by pretty quickly, and as much as I enjoy doing them, every day now for several months, I'd be happy for the next level that pushes a bit further.
Highly recommended.
Movie Review: thank you Rodney Yee !
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a chronic condition of pelvic floor spasm for more than 3 years now. I was misdiagnosed at the beginning . It was so hard to live with the everyday pains and aches to the point that I was beginning to believe that it was all in my head and that I am crazy. After finally discovering that I had pelvic floor muscle spasm i was at last started on the right physical therapy exercises and massage. My physical therapist recommended Rodney Yee's AM yoga. Section five of the DVD is the pelvic openers part- I just can't find the words to describe how much great help it has provided me along with my PT exercises.I could feel a huge difference with the pelvic relaxation as well as a spurt of energy that lasts with me for a few hours. I wish I knew of Rodney Yee a long time before.Movie Review: Perfect for busy people
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a perfect yoga routine for busy people as you only do about 25 minutes each morning. By the end of the week you have gone through just about everything, and if you do this regularly it really makes a difference. I have to be up and out the door by 7:00 each morning, and this fits into my schedule well and offers enough variety so you can do the routines over and over without getting bored. My husband and I have been doing this daily since May during the week and I can feel a big difference from it, especially if I am on vacation and miss it for a week. I like the detailed description, and find it calming, which is a better way to start the day. I have recommended this to friends, and already have it as a request for Christmas from a couple of them.Movie Review: Rodney Yee still has new insights into yoga
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
