DVD Reviews of A.M. and P.M. YogaDVD Review: favorite start to the day Summary: 5 StarsI love this morning routine with Rodney Yee. I am 64 and I've done this routine for years with my VCR but since they are becoming obsolete, I had to get a DVD. The conscious relaxation he teaches has become a part of my life...a true blessing in the dentist chair and sitting in a traffic jam. The stretching helps to keep me limber, add that to the relaxing and my day starts in a peaceful frame of mind stretched and ready to get down and play on the floor with my little boy for whom I nanny. Rodney's voice totally helps set the mood. For those that complained they couldn't keep up I was totally puzzled. You should do as suggested...watch the tape before trying to do it.
I'm not certain why I don't care for the evening one but I don't. I donated it to Goodwill.
DVD Review: Short, but relaxing Summary: 4 StarsThis DVD is great, but it doesn't offer a lot for the money. The AM routine is very soothing and short-- about ten minutes. It's beautifully shot and the music is relaxing, and the poses are very simple. I actually like this better at night.
The PM program is longer-- about 25 minutes. It's also a little more energetic than the morning version, and includes more standing poses. It's also beautifully shot with relaxing music.
While each segment is very nice, it's not a lot for the money. Other DVDs out there will give you more options and variety on a single disc.
DVD Review: Upgraded my worn out VHS copies Summary: 5 StarsI love Rodney Yee's AM Yoga. It's quick (15 min) and very gentle yet effective. I've been using it for years on VHS and have finally upgraded to the DVD. Out of my extensive yoga / exercise library, this is the one that gets used the most.
DVD Review: Yoga for beginners Summary: 5 StarsThese dvds are an excellent way to begin and end the day. AM Yoga wakes you up with gentle stretching. PM Yoga has stretches that are a bit more challenging but I feel very relaxed afterwards.
DVD Review: Not Worth the Money Summary: 1 StarsI have been practicing Yoga for 2 years, but I am still a beginner. The morning workout is too short and seems like it should be the evening/relaxing workout. There are very few true Yoga poses. I do not get much ouf of this Yoga video. Doing streches on my own would have the same impact. I am very disappointed.
Description of A.M. and P.M. YogaIncludes two yoga programs, bonus How to Use Props-Active Yoga Instructional/Mini-workout and in-depth interviews with Rodney Yee and Patricia Walden. A.M. Yoga for Beginners "The morning is a precious time," says the narrator of A.M. Yoga for Beginners. "Just as the sun rises and falls, so do our natural rhythms. The morning is perfect time to open our bodies and center our minds." This 20-minute yoga practice with supple instructor Rodney Yee is the perfect way to start your day by energizing your body and calming your mind. Filmed on the beach at Maui at sunrise, the video starts with a 4-minute Conscious Relaxation focusing on breathing, then glides into a 14-minute series of yoga poses that are simultaneously relaxing and energizing. It ends with a 2-minute seated Guided Meditation to center your body and mind. Yee's instruction is detailed and gentle. The video is beautifully filmed: you watch the waves roll in as Yee demonstrates yoga poses on a sandy beach. The yoga practice awakens and stretches your muscles gently, leaving you balanced and focused. "Yoga is the foundation of my day," says Yee. "A few minutes in the morning will help give meaning to your day." --Joan Price P.M. Yoga for Beginners "The evening is the perfect time to calmly transition between being active and being quiet," says Patricia Walden, instructor of P.M. Yoga for Beginners. "One of the greatest gifts yoga has to offer is deep relaxation." This 20-minute program is designed to balance, calm, and revitalize you at the end of the day. It starts with centering poses: gentle stretches bringing awareness and quiet to your senses. Next are standing poses to release tension, increase circulation, expand the lungs, and help you breathe more deeply. Next, forward bends cool the body and bring quiet to the nervous system. The final restorative poses are so relaxing that you may fall asleep. Walden tells you not only how to do the poses, but what you should feel, and how to quiet your body and your mind. Instruction is soothing and explicit. Although this video is aimed at beginners, seldom are modifications given for the less flexible novice, so if any pose causes discomfort or seems impossible, don't push beyond your personal comfort level. The video was filmed on the windswept sands of Death Valley. --Joan Price
