Movie Reviews of Back Care Yoga
Movie Review: EXCELLENT YOGA TAPE
Summary: 5 Stars
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT YOGA TAPE FOR PEOPLE WITH BACK PROBLEMS. IT HAS HELPED ME TREMENDOUSLY!Movie Review: Not as easy on the back as I had hoped.
Summary: 4 Stars
I love Rodney Yee. I have many many of his videos, from A.M. and P.M. Yoga with Patricia Walden to his Yoga Burn video....with some Flow Series in between. But I don't have all the props needed for this video..perhaps if i had a Yoga Bolster I would give it a higher review. So this may be my problem versus anything Rodney Yee did. My back hurt afterwards. Maybe I was using muscles that don't get used often enough. For whatever reason, I was a bit displeased and haven't used it since.
I recommend buying all the props that are required for the video.
I will probably eventually buy a bolster and try this video again.
I love Rodney Yee and will keep buying his videos. The man is 50 or was last year....and is extremely hot, but even more than that he has a pleasant voice, good cuing, and is thorough with his instructions. He is also very very experienced and he really knows what he is doing.
Rodney Yee and Patrica Walden make up for most of my yoga DVD collection...and they are better than other videos I have tried with the exception of "Yoga conditioning for Weight Loss" by Suzanne Deason. Her video is very high quality also. I'm not very good with words, but what I am trying to say is that I put Suzanne Deason in the same category with Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden.
I have an extensive DVD collection. And I highly recommend any video done by Yee, Walden, or Deason.
Namaste,

Movie Review: Very helpful in learning yoga
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this dvd because I read from the reviews that doing yoga to help with back pain can really help reduce or even eliminate back pain and I found out that it is TRUE. Now, I have always been skeptical of yoga. I did not believe that yoga could do anything but stretch you out. When I looked at a picture of some one in yoga pose, I always thought, how can you strengthen your body just from doing that? But based on the reviews, and the fact that I am in pain ALL the time because I have degenerated disks in my lower back and neck, I decided to give yoga a try. After all stretching did always feel good to me. So I looked up a few simple poses and it helps ease some tension. So I decided to buy a dvd. I did a search on yoga for backs and I found this dvd. Rodney yee's yoga is soothing and very helpful. I like his voice, he is not annoying like some yoga voices can be. I would have given it 5 stars but it took me a long time to get through the dvd, so that I could really learn the poses before moving to the next. It moves just a little to fast. But it is still a good dvd. The poses are very effective and it really does help ease the pain IF you keep up with doing it every day. The other thing I did not know is that I would need 2 yoga blocks and a bolster which I did not have the first few times I attempted to do this dvd poses. I just used a thick blanket rolled up as the bolster. Good dvd, very helpful but you must keep doing the yoga to reap the benefits.Movie Review: Good for Sciatica
Summary: 4 Stars
I first borrowed this DVD from my local library and I had to wait b/c it was on hold. The fact that I waited as long as I did to try this out was proof that it was popular and guess why, IT WORKS! I bought the DVD b/c I didn't want to have to wait for it to become available again at the library. I've been suffering from sciatica for about 2 months, and Rodney Yee's DVDs are about the only thing that I have done that has yielded such fast & painless results. He REALLY helped me. I am still on the mend, but I feel MUCH BETTER after I do this sequence. It is very gentle and do-able for someone who is still in a bit of discomfort and trying to heal. The first two segments are comparatively more active, the third is mostly relaxing postures (btw, you will need a giant bolster or pillow for max comfort/effect). Its about an hour long, so I only get to it once or twice a week, I guess I could just do one of the 3 - 20 minute segments, but I tend to opt for a quick morning stretch with the AM yoga sessions (either his "AM & PM yoga" or "AM yoga for your week"). It's hard not like Rodney Yee - he's so mellow and easy to follow. You do have to figure out the breathing most of the time b/c he kinda assumes you know when to inhale & when to exhale so it might be confusing for a beginner, but other than that, I love his work! I plan to incorporate Rodney Yee into my day for a very long time - even after I am all healed up!Movie Review: My favorite back care video
Summary: 4 Stars
Some of the other DVDs I've tried (like the Yoga Zone one) aren't vigorous enough for me. If you have more serious back problems, maybe they're what you need. Rodney Yee explains that after you get to know the video you can take those sections that are the most useful for you, and that's what I've done. A lot of the other reviewers have dissed the first section ("Exploration") for being boring or not challenging enough, but it's just what I need. My backaches are caused in part by contracted muscles in the lower back, and section 1 is really excellent at helping you stretch and relax those muscles. Section 2 is for strengthening and is also very necessary.
As to the props: Well, we use a strap in my yoga class. You can get two yards of grosgrain ribbon at a fabric store for about $1 and you've got a strap. I use a rolled up beach towel for the blanket, a folding chair, and skip the brick. I used to use a large pillow for the bolster, but stopped using that as well. I also occasionally add some poses from my yoga class when I feel like it to vary the routine and get an extra stretch. It also keeps a taaped routine from getting too boring.
