Movie Reviews of Yoga Conditioning for Athletes
Movie Review: Good for beginners...
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first yoga DVD - my sister recommended it because she said some other yoga instructors move through the poses really fast but this instructor holds the poses long enough to get a good stretch.
I usually do the stretching or conditioning portion - the strength portion I skip. I like the mini sports workouts too - if I'm pressed for time, I'll do a couple of those. They are all geared for different sports - most of which I don't play. The mini "tennis" yoga workout still feels great although I haven't played tennis in years!
So you don't have to be an athlete to purchase this DVD :) I like that it shows modified moves for those (like me) who are less flexible & can't put their hands flat on the ground. My mom "borrowed" this DVD a few weeks ago so I think I will just give it to her and get myself another copy. I would like to try another Rodney Yee yoga DVD also....
Summary of Yoga Conditioning for Athletes
The fact that basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, a serious yogi, played professionally for two decades without once suffering the kind of shoulder, knee, hamstring, or other injuries that hamper so many other athletes' careers is no coincidence. Instructor Rodney Yee is therefore clearly on to something with Yoga Conditioning for Athletes, a yoga practice designed to promote overall balance, diminish the likelihood of injury, and enhance athletes' physical conditioning and "focused concentration." With two assistants demonstrating modifications for the various poses, Yee leads the user through a three-part, hour-long program. The first section, "Opening," requires the use of a folding chair and includes several bends and twists for the spine, hips, and hamstrings. "Conditioning," the second and most vigorous section, alternates basic standing asanas (triangle, warrior I and II, extended right angle) with balancing poses (tree, eagle) and several sustained forward bends; "Integration," the third section, combines seated and reclining backbends, lunges, twists, and hip work. All in all, this is a solid, reasonably complete (but not overly taxing) program that should deliver what it promises. That said, it's also true that almost any yoga workout is a good thing for an athlete. --Kelly WelldonFitness & Yoga DVD Video
