Movie Reviews of A.M. and P.M. Yoga
Movie Review: Lost 75 Pounds Using This Tape!
Summary: 5 Stars
Origianlly I borrowed the VHS version of this DVD from my local public library. I was 355 # and huffed and puffed when I went up ONE flight of stairs at the time I began this practice. The only other thing I did was refrain from eating after 6pm. That's it. Nothing else. Over a period of several weeks, my body began to have more stamina, my breathing increased, my circulation felt wonderful, sex was terrific and I was losing weight. I'm down to 280 # and have 60 # more to go to reach my target weight.
Yoga isn't for everyone but this DVD is more about stretching and holding the post. I'm now able to hold a pose for a count of 30 even though I could hold it longer, I don't because I do not want my morning Yoga to feel like a chore. Thus I stick with the basic hold to 20 or 30.
The only other thing I did was slowly implement 20 push ups, 20 leg lifts (per side) and a 10 seconds of isometric with my arms. Nothing else.
It feels great. Thanks Rodney! I bought a copy of this while at the store and was pleased as pie with the newer DVD edition.
If you're sick and tired of being fat, outdated and not limber, THIS is the program for you! Then just roll out of bed, go pee an do your 14 minute workout and you'll never complain again about aches, pains & minor indignities again! This program works!
Movie Review: Love this DVD - new yoga enthusiast
Summary: 5 Stars
I never understood the appeal of yoga before. I bought this DVD, and now I see why people love yoga so much. I had tried another yoga tape and other exercise tapes before, but most were not nearly as good as this one. I am now hooked. There are two 20 minute yoga segments. The first is called "AM Yoga" with Rodney Yee, and the second segment, called "PM Yoga", is with Patricia Walden. Both segments were terrific, but I especially enjoyed the "AM" segment with Rodney Yee. I found that during his section I could listen to Yee peacefully talk me through the poses without being glued to the tv screen. It allowed me to really enjoy the DVD more. When I was finished with his 20 minute segment, I felt so relaxed - it was surprising...I am looking now for other Yee DVD's. On the second segment, it wasn't as easy to follow the instructor. I imagine it would be easier to follow after a week of sessions to get used to it. Still, this is an excellent DVD for anyone curious about the appeal of yoga and looking for an excellent intro. You won't be doing any moves that are too advanced or aerobic in this DVD, but it is extremely relaxing. Also, the 20 minute segments are great for busy people who don't have endless amounts of time to fit in exercise. This is a great investment overall.Movie Review: part of a well rounded yoga practice
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been doing Rodneys, AM portion of this DVD for a long time and still do it for old times sake. It's a very gentle workout when I don't feel like a super athlete. I don't have a lot of time in the morning and a short 20 minute set like this is perfect for me.Rodney Yee is in a large part respnsible for the current yoga boom and deserves credit for that. In my endless search for short workouts I recently discovered another AM/PM workout that rocked my yoga world! It is Ana & Ravis, AM/PM Yoga. Also, not too demanding but very effective (and I really appreciate that they have no annoying commercials or ocean scenes!) Rodney Yee does I gues Iyengar Yoga which is very exact has given me the tools to experience other yoga systems to the fullest. Ravi & Ana's Kundalini Yoga covers "aerobic" stretching, toning and strengthening of the muscles and nervous system in every workout. If someone asked me to pick one yoga to do it would be kundalini since it covers it all much faster and I can't live without the yoga "high" I get after doing their workout. I also prefer their PM section. It makes me sleep like a baby.
I still love Rodney's yoga too and I recommend combining the practices(kundalini & Iyengar) for a full yoga routine.
Movie Review: Great Start to the Day
Summary: 5 Stars
The effects of the AM and PM yoga practice on my day has been monumental. I find when I do the AM practice in the morning (which I prefer), I am more rested, focused, and happier the entire day. It helps on a day when I have a lot to do and feel like tackling my projects is impossible. I am definitely a beginner, although naturally flexible, and I found both DVDs to be a very light workout. If you are looking to lose weight or do hardcore yoga then don't buy this DVD. If you are looking to improve your daily life and emotional outlook, I highly recommend it.
So far I have a love for the AM portion and its ability to wake me up, and find it hard to get motivated to do the PM practice late at night when I finally get ready for bed. It is definitely the more intensive of the two. I also found the AM practice to be easier to follow. Some say they prefer the PM practice in the morning because they find it invigorating, but personally it tuckers me out!
The main complaint I have about this DVD is that it is annoying to have to sit through the AM and PM bit before the top menu loads. I feel rushed in the morning so going straight to the practice would have been ideal.
Movie Review: Blissful
Summary: 5 Stars
Rodney Yee's AM program gives a blissful start to the day. It starts with a short relaxation routine, moves into great, thorough stretching - mostly on the floor, and ends with a short but restful meditation. It is meant to warm you up, and relax you to start the day feeling great. Yee's voice is soothing, and the music is understated and lovely. I am truly grateful that I found this. It's short enough that I can fit it in every day. It feels so good that I am buying it again in DVD after wearing the first one (a video) out.
It is NOT an "exercise" program, so if you're looking for a real morning workout, this is not it, though I would recommend it to anyone for those times you need to limber your muscles and spine, release trapped energy, de-stress, and re-center yourself - AM or PM.
Patricia Walden's PM program is a bit more physical, with some good standing poses, but is not overly challenging, so also a good choice for beginners. However, My five stars is really for the AM part. The PM section is just a bonus as far as I'm concerned.
