DVD Reviews of Power Yoga - StrengthDVD Review: Great for any age Summary: 5 StarsNot kidding! This is a gratifying and short series of exercises that will improve flexibility, strength, balance and grace of movement. Not very long and not very difficult - I look forward to my "workout". I don't like to go to classes, so this is perfect for me.
DVD Review: Yoga Summary: 5 StarsGood DVD for any stage of yoga. Rodney moves along a little fast for me but guess I need to use it more or else it's just my old bones and joints that are slower. Good variety of moves, well worth the price.
DVD Review: A good stress-reduction, physical experience Summary: 4 StarsYou really can't go wrong with Rodney Yee. But he does lack the attention to the viewer and practitioner you'll get from Bryan Kest, for example. He doesn't talk to you or about your feelings and the poses are too quick in some places to do much good. A pose should be held about 12 seconds at least. You're in up dog about one to two seconds and must revert to down dog.
Nonetheless, you get a good general physical workout and feel tenseness fade. So this short yoga session serves it's purpose.
Recommended.

DVD Review: So glad I bought this! Summary: 5 StarsI am so glad I bought this video. I wanted a Power Yoga workout and I am (like most of us) a busy lady. This is extreemly effective and fast...FYI...Power Yoga is a faster pace... and this one is a great workout. If you have done yoga in the past or are new you can easly adapt it for your level... after doing this just a few times I am able to do some of the poses I thought it would take me forever to learn! Gaiam has great products!
DVD Review: Good twenty-four minute power/strength yoga workout - no frills Summary: 4 StarsThis DVD is one of Rodney Yee's earlier yoga DVDs, and it shows a bit. While shot on glorious Maui, the production is a bit more grainy than some of Yee's later projects ("Yoga Core," "Yoga Burn,"), etc.
But you don't buy yoga DVDs for their glossy productions - you buy them for the workout. And this is a darn good beginner workout, focusing on building strength through fairly quick but smooth transitions.
This workout features a lot of sun salutations, flowing from standing mountain pose through lunges through upward dog and into downward dog. All these poses are achievable by the beginner, although a newbie should probably watch it through once before trying the workout because Yee goes pretty fast through his paces. Lots of back and arm-work gets worked into the mix, and you're sure to have your heart rate elevated to a nice degree.
To be fair, there are a couple of poses where the word "beginner" doesn't apply - Yee supports his entire body in squat positions on his hands. No yoga beginner I know could do anything approaching these moves, but they are nice aspirational poses for us beginners to shoot for.
All in all, this is a nice short yoga DVD. If you have to pick just one yoga DVD, it shouldn't be this one, but at this price it's a good buy to fit into your larger collection.
