Movie Review: Help for Anxiety Sufferers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been experiencing nauseating anxiety for months. My doctor had me try anti-depressants and I had very little success with those. I wanted to find a more holistic approach and many people recommended yoga as an anxiety-relieving alternative to prescription drugs. It has been two months and I'm now completely off medication thanks to this yoga series. My doctor is perplexed that a person could find such relief without medication, but it has worked! I'll admit, I like the AM Yoga better than the PM. The PM is a bit more difficult, but after three weeks of doing this yoga DVD almost daily, I was able to perform the PM yoga with ease. The PM yoga also nearly puts me to sleep. I find that I fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly when I perform it before bedtime. The AM yoga is super easy to do in the mornings. Rodney Yee gradually wakes you up and you feel ready to take on the world after completing his AM program. I highly recommend this yoga DVD to anyone suffering from stress and anxiety. It has worked wonders for me and might do the same for you.Movie Review: AM gets my stiff 63 year old body going every morning
Summary: 5 Stars
OK I did quite a bit of yoga way back when, but I had an eight year hiatus and had become too decrepit to do an hour and a half of asana. A friend told me to start small--this tape is only about 20 minutes long. She also said that she (a very serously fit person) had found this tape a huge comfort while she was going thrugh a divorce. So I started doing it every morning four months ago followed by one or another of the relaxations on Yee's Relaxation for Meditation CD. (I need more than the two minute meditation on the AM Tape. In fact I had trouble meditating anyway and prefered a guided relaxation.) Very nice combination
Then I started throwing in Yoga for Abs or Yoga for Arm Strength (in between the other two)That worked wonderfully--I'd feel really nice--calm and cheerful afterwards.
Recently, if I get up early eonough I do Maritza's incredible tape for beginning meditation instead of the Relaxation CD. I come away feeling peaceful and filled with joy.
Movie Review: Wonderful for those who suffer from anxiety
Summary: 5 Stars
I suffer from anxiety disorder, and my therapist recommended yoga as part of treatment. The 20 minute workout of "A.M. Yoga" with Rodney Yee has literally changed my life. It's staved off panic attacks, and also ameliorated some of the side effects of the medication I've been taking (grogginess, unsteadiness, muscle tension). Of the two workouts I find A.M. Yoga more helpful. Rodney Yee is the man. He has an extremely soothing voice and manner. He designs his workouts to be both relaxing and challenging. His stretches are designed for beginners, and always give me a feeling of relaxation and even comfort. P.M. Yoga has some more challenging exercises and is more for the experienced yoga-ites, but overall this dvd has really helped me get up in the morning, or relax when I felt like I couldnt breath. So if you suffer from anxiety, I highly recommend this video as a regular exercise that can help manage this very difficult disease.Movie Review: Great quickie!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love these videos. Each practice is about 20 minutes long which makes them perfect for squeezing into a busy day. If I don't have time in the morning before heading off or have had a long hard day, I can easily complete these and feel the full benefits. I bought these on VHS when I was new to yoga and did the PM yoga almost nightly. The PM yoga routine is very thorough, stretching every part of your body and incorporating almost every basic yoga pose. I noticed after only a week that my flexibility had increased substantially. Even after becoming more seasoned with yoga, these routines still provide a good 20 minutes of deep breathing and stretching. They never get old because as your ability increases, you can just dive deeper into each pose. I often recommend these videos to people looking to get into yoga but they are equally great for everyone else. They're a nice treat to add to your day.Movie Review: Stressed out? Get this DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been to yoga classes before, but they were full of stressed out, type A people (i.e., kinda like me) trying to outdo each other with fast-moving pretzel poses - not very relaxing. Watching this DVD changed my opinion of yoga, and now I'm addicted. When I consistently practice this, I am significantly less stressed out - all day long. The poses in this DVD are slow and careful, but if you do them perfectly and somewhat painfully, it's not a bad workout, either. After a few weeks of this, I signed up again for a yoga class, this time at the Iyengar Institute in NYC, and found that to be hugely fulfilling as well. So, if you're looking for something to help you relax, and a good intro to yoga, this is one of your best bets. If you're looking to become the Nadia Comaneci of the yoga world, this probably isn't for you.
