Movie Reviews of A.M. and P.M. Yoga
Movie Review: Easy moves with serious results
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this DVD to re-start a yoga routine and hopefully find relief from back pain. I started with the AM yoga and was pleasantly surprised at the simple, easy-to-follow instruction and immediate effect. After 3 a.m. routines, my back was better than new.
It requires quite a bit of space to practice as one has to extend ones leg fully to one side and then the other (while lying on ones back) at one point of the exercise. Using the yoga band is very helpful especially for those whose muscles are tight. A blanket is also called for towards the end but instead of buying some kind of yoga blanket, I just use a thick towel or throw.
The P.M. yoga is perfect after a day of sitting at work for hours. It's stretches seem to me more challenging than the A.M. portion. So much so that I require yoga bricks/blocks to perform the moves without feeling like I'd topple over. Whereas the A.M. yoga is mostly done on the floor, the P.M. is mostly standing and bending to the sides. It stretches the back and shoulder muscles much more but does so rather gently that at the end of the exercises and meditation, I find my mind in peace and quiet and ready for bed. I have to say though that I sweat slightly from this so after a quick shower, I'm wide awake again!
The same amount of space is required for P.M. as for the A.M. yoga. My estimate would be a 6x6 space would make executing these exercises comfortable. I have less space than that so I adjust myself along the way to get the best possible workout.
Movie Review: Wish it were longer
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD was perfect for when I first started yoga and just wanted a brief introduction. Both practices (AM and PM) are very short - around the 20 minute mark each. As a fresh beginner, that was enough. Now that I've been practicing a while and used to 90-minute classes, I find they leave me wanting more. It is typically reserved for days when I want a quick 'wake up' in the morning, or to supplement my cardio routines on a 'non-yoga' day.
Rodney Yee is very soothing and the hip openers feel good in the morning. Patricia Walden is such a warm instructor and leads well. I think both of them, as well as Gaiam in general, put out very reliable products. I would recommend this DVD for beginners or people who are very pushed for time.
Movie Review: Why is this popular ?
Summary: 2 Stars
Did this guy appear on Oprah ?
If he did, that's the reason.
All the ladies are buying whatever appeared on Oprah.
Will I buy this ?
Waste of money and time.

Summary: 5 Stars
The am yoga portion of the dvd is the best way I have found to start my day. It really loosens up the back, legs, and hips! At the same time, it helps relieve stress and worry. A peacefulness follows that lasts long after the workout. Thank you, Rodney Yee and everyone who helped make it! I've been doing this for a long time and hope to continue for a long time to come!
