DVD Reviews of Rodney Yee - Advanced Yoga
DVD Review: I am baffled
Summary: 1 Stars
I am baffled by the lack of criticism for this DVD set. This was a gift from my boyfriend about two years ago and I can barely bring myself to use it at all. I have been practicing yoga for three years now and I would consider myself to be an advanced practitioner. Perhaps it was the way that I was first introduced to yoga through vinyasa classes that focused on holding poses and flow, but this DVD is so much worse than his original Power Yoga set that it's embarrassing to lead people to believe this is his own personal practice! The arm balance "total body" routine begins like the hip-opening routine by taking you from "cobbler's pose" to "staff pose" and back again with barely a pause in between. Sometimes he throws in an occasional forward bend, but not for an amount of time that would make any significant impact on your body. I just found that I was trying to move so quickly from pose to pose to keep up with him that I wasn't benefiting from the stretches or postures at all. The arm balances are complex and varied which I appreciate, but he gives you a split second to get into the pose and barely a full second to hold it! What's the point? I am sincerely asking, what point could this 'workout' have, because this doesn't feel like it could possibly be worth my time at all.
The hip opening routine is more of the same but without the arm balances that made that segment even remotely worthwhile. It's a fine supplement to another yoga routine of your own (or a better DVD's, try Yoga Shakti) afterwards or before if you feel you need it, but alone I don't see what impact it could have as the poses last a few seconds at most and aren't much of a challenge. I won't go into the pranayama portion which honestly felt uncomfortable to watch, and not at all like an appropriate prelude to meditation.
I'm aware there are other forms of yoga out there and not all of them are like yin yoga in which you hold poses for a greater impact, however this barely qualifies as yoga in my opinion. If it weren't a gift, I would have gotten rid of it long ago.
DVD Review: Interesting but not something for most of us to workout to!
Summary: 3 Stars
I love Rodney Yee's yoga workouts. I thought I would challenge myself by ordering this one. However, I really overestimated my ability-- this is CRAZY YOGA! WHOA- way beyond what most of us can handle.
It's interesting to see how advanced yoga can be, but I only watched it once. After that, I never had any use for it.
Unless you are just curious to see really advanced stuff without the chance to be able to do it yourself, I would recommend you buying a different Rodney Yee video.
DVD Review: Hip opening sequence not difficult, great for anyone with tight hips (ie runners)
Summary: 5 Stars
While the main part of the DVD is extremely challenging and way beyond my abilities as a novice to intermediate yogi, the hip opening sequence is easy, accessible, and absolutely fantastic. It was reccomended to me by someone who works in a fitness store, when I was telling him about how i have chronically tight hips from running.
With the exception of a couple of poses, which you can sit out or just attempt your best, the exercises are easy and relaxing -- this is not a workout, but an adjunct to one. When I do the hip opening sequence on a regular basis, I can see a tremendous difference in my hip flexibility.
I highly reccomend this to anyone who has problems with tightness in their hips. Dont be intimidated by the advanced nature of the rest of the DVD.
DVD Review: very advanced and challenging
Summary: 5 Stars
Again...i wanted to challenge myself in my yoga practice and felt i was ready so i bought myself this dvd. I cannot say anything negative about this DVD really. At first, i had some difficulty keeping up with the "arm balance" section because Rodney moved a little fast through it, but after that i got the hang of it (as witn any new dvd). I felt satisfied and got a great yoga workout. It really works your arm balance poses and opens up the hips, an area i still have difficulty with but i see an increase of flexibility already. Rodney is calm and very informative, specially in the breathing section. The settings are very peaceful and appeal to the eye.
But...this DVD is not for beginners in any way!!! you can easely harm yourself if you are not flexible or already have at least 2-3 years of GOOD yoga experience and some arm balance poses. There are a few poses (arm balance) i still cant do so i skip those and practice additionally in my own time to strenghten and when ready ill follow the Flow completely and safely.
This DVD is truely inspirational and I feel Rodney really delivers. So its worth buying if you really want to challenge yourself.
DVD Review: yoga god
Summary: 5 Stars
