Movie Reviews of Rodney Yee: Yoga Burn
Movie Review: Burning yoga positions that help tone and shape!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been practicing yoga on my own (no classes) for a little over a year. I decided to invest in a few yoga videos to keep me moving at a good pace and really improve my body's tone and muscle shape.
Rodney Yee is a master yogi. Through this DVD, watch Rodney move slowly from position to position creating a fat-burning series of yoga moves. His body is perfectly sculpted and toned, and watching him, I was able to make my body mimic his.
At first, the moves were not that difficult, and they did not "burn" but as the workout continued, my body began to really feel the positions and open up. At some point, I even began yelling back at Rodney, "I've got it this time!" I felt so proud that I was able to easily follow along through most of it, and when I couldn't get it right the first repition, the move was repeated for both sides 3 times until I had it down!
This is great for intermediate yogis, even beginners who have a knowledge of the positions! I would reccomend this and other Rodney Yee DVDs to anyone practicing yoga who wants a little bit more intense workout.
Movie Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
Rodney Yee's Yoga Burn is tai chi meets yoga. While I can see why it would be too easy for more experienced yoga devotees, it's the perfect starter yoga program. In my case it's the perfect mix of stretching, relaxation, and toning. I've been recovering from back and neck injuries from a car accident, and although I didn't sustain serious injury, I have required time to heal. I did have to modify several of the moves, and had to stop and start, but I felt such a HUGE sense of accomplishment. I feel like I can regain what I lost-- this DVD is what I needed to get started; it gives me hope. The best part was the relaxation technique is at the end of the workout. This is a DVD for people who are beginning yoga or starting a diet and exercise regime and can't tolerate (or don't like) high impact aerobics. I believe this DVD would also be a wonderful alternate workout for those experienced in yoga, or those just wanting a way to relax after a stressful day. Thank you Rodney for providing the less initiated with a way to begin our yoga experience!Movie Review: still my favorite yoga dvd
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this dvd for the past four years. I haven't practiced yoga in a year or so because life just got very busy. However, I decided to start practicing again today and went back to this dvd. After four years, this is still one of my favorite yoga dvds. The poses are simple enough for beginners, but still a good work out for intermediate students. Since it is a slow pace you have to hold your poses longer, which means build more control over your muscles.
The poses you need to know are simple beginner's poses: downward dog, warrior poses, boat pose, chair pose, forward bend, staff, single leg staff, etc.
Right now, my muscles are complete jello, and I have a feeling they will just be sore tomorrow. SO instead I will do a combination of 1 session of AM Yoga for your week (also Rodney Yee) and the Beginner's Yoga (also by Rodney Yee) tomorrow and go back to Yoga Burn the day after. My goal is to work my way back up to Power Yoga (also by Rodney Yee) which is a lot harder workout.
Movie Review: Rodney Yee has done it again.
Summary: 5 Stars
One of my first yoga instructors was Rodney Yee; I am a ten-year yoga veteran and I have always enjoyed his programs but he does have a tendency to get too poetic at times. It's hard to relax into a forward bend when he tells me to "feel like my toes are buds about to open"! Yoga Burn, on the other hand, has little "chatter", and sticks to basic instructions which let you focus on what you're doing.
The poses are familiar, without being boring. It's beginner accessible, but challenging enough for an intermediate practitioner. It's also a great workout: by moving slowly and consciously through the poses, you can't rely on momentum to push you through. There's less of a tendency to hold the breath, too.
The setting is serene without making me jealous--no Hawaian tropical settings with crashing waves in the background, or mountain scenery to distract. The music is relaxing without making me want a nap.
Taking everything into consideration, this has become one of my favorite home practice programs.
Movie Review: Perfect For a Beginner
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried other yoga DVDs and most are too difficult for me, so I give up. This one is perfect for a beginner. I don't know how someone who has a background in yoga would respond. It could be great for advanced down to beginner. I can't say, but I can recommend it for beginners. Rodney Yee takes his viewer step by step through each of the poses. His directions are easy to follow and clear. It's clear from watching him how to do the poses. I watched the DVD first before trying it. The poses looked so easy that I thought I wouldn't get a good workout; however, when I did the exercises, I found I was sweating within 10 minutes. Admittedly some of the poses are difficult for me, but I do my best. I've found that each time the challenging poses are a little easier. I like that the poses are done slowly; the stretch and burn revitalize me. A side benefit is that my posture is getting better. Maybe it's all the stretching? I feel better, look forward to the work out, and absolutely love the end. I feel as if I'm meditating.
