Movie Reviews of Rodney Yee - Advanced Yoga
Movie Review: Truly Advanced
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of intermediate yogis out there who struggle with what "advanced" yoga is. Transitions from beginner to intermediate are typically very easy and systematic in yoga, with most people learning from a book or a tape and eventually progressing to a yoga basics class and then eventually to an intermediate "all levels" practice. Many systems, most notably Ashtanga yoga taught in the Mysore tradition, emphasize a day to day individual progression in the various yoga postures. Because of the dedication and discipline this requires-from both student and teacher-this kind of training is a rarity. Many traditional Ashtanga schools are either very small, or end up teaching more streamlined led classes.
Advanced yoga, whether it's David Swenson running through the primary series, a Baron Baptiste photograph, or an Ana Forrest demonstration, can be seen as a combination of three components: breath, arm balances, and hip/leg flexibility. With clear and direct instruction, Yee models with stunning alignment the various aspects of yoga mastery individually. Exercises to open the hips, instructions and tips on hand balances, and an introduction to pranayama, are dealt with separately. This is significant, because it shortens and demystifies the learning curve, and illuminates the clear progression of a devoted practice. If you are an advanced yogi, or a gymnast or dancer, and have sufficient flexibility, upper body strength, and balance, this dvd will be a wonderful journey into the heart and soul of the most challenging yoga postures with a seasoned veteran as your guide sharing what works for him.
While Yee provides ample instruction, it's important to note that the DVD will not take you from the intermediate to advanced level. For me, it was eye opening and led me to do a couple of things to augment my practice so I can eventually reach this level of proficiency. First, I emphasize hip opening much more than I used to, and add a short sequence of postures and stretches almost every day to reach a higher level of flexibility. Second, I spend some amount of time each day training to fluidly support weight on my hands, my reference to this is the york hand balancing course, which is free online and found after a quick Google search. I recommend this to yogis especially since many of its instructions are actually yoga postures, but they hearken to a time well before yoga achieved recognition in the states, much less popularity.
All in all, an excellent guide for advanced practitioners and inspiring for intermediates.
