DVD Reviews of Rodney Yee: Yoga Burn
DVD Review: For those who are confused by conflicting reviews...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was reading through the many reviews of this DVD and realized that I've actually owned Yoga Burn for about 2 years and never used it! I think what happened was I bought Yoga Burn at the same time I bought Yee's Advanced Yoga DVD Rodney Yee - Advanced Yoga. It took me all of 2 minutes of previewing the Advanced DVD to stop it and put it away. I put the Burn DVD on the shelf with it, assuming that it would be equally difficult; they'd been collecting dust together ever since!
But reading the other reviews recently made me realize that I can probably do the Burn DVD, so I pulled it out and tried it (the Advanced Yoga DVD is still collecting dust, and will probably be for many years to come). Now that I've tried the Burn DVD, I understand what the debate is about, and I think I can help bring some clarity for those who are wondering if they should purchase it.
1. For those who are afraid it will be too difficult: this DVD CAN be done by beginner-level folks!! The entire DVD is comprised of basic poses. The difficulty only comes from having to hold them for a longer period of time. As you practice, you will gain strength, flexibility, and the agility you will need for transitioning from pose to pose. If it's too difficult at first, just do as much as you can and you will eventually do the whole thing with purpose, integrity, and grace.
2. For those who are afraid it will be too easy: ok, I may not be the MOST fit person in the world. But I'm fit enough to do Rodney Yee's Power Yoga - Total Body Workout or Shiva Rea's Fire Practice without collapsing! If this DVD is practiced with purpose and you INTENTIONALLY use the muscles that the poses are designed to target, you will not be able to help but feel a burn. Now, exactly how MUCH burn will depend on your fitness level, but there's no way you won't generate some heat.
3. For those who are afraid there won't be enough instruction: Yee explains during the introduction that the main focus of this DVD is in the slow, purposeful TRANSITIONING from one pose to the next. I take this to mean that people who purchase this video (even beginner-level folks) should already be somewhat familiar with basic poses as well as with how to breathe.
If you are not familiar with basic poses and breathing, then you should also purchase Yoga for Beginners (Patricia Walden's DVD is an exceptional source of basic instruction Yoga for Beginners, Yoga Journal - Yoga Practice for Flexibility). But don't let that stop you from purchasing Yoga Burn. Once you're confident with the poses and breathing, you can pop in the Burn video when you're in the mood for a good, extremely low-impact workout that will improve your strength, flexibility, and mindfulness.
4. For the folks who are afraid it will be boring: I'm not a big Dr. Phil fan these days, but I agree with him when he says that "bored people are usually BORING people." If you're getting too used to ANY video that you practice, just make a choice to spice it up! Creative folks who are very familiar with a DVD and its poses will naturally begin to alter the poses to make them more advanced or more interesting.
Of course, I can't speak for anyone else, but I myself did not find this one boring. Actually it was a welcome (albeit temporary) break from my ongoing (and ever-intensifying) love affair with Shiva Rea Shiva Rea: Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Shiva Rea: Yogini, Yoga Shakti, Shiva Rea - Fluid Power - Vinyasa Flow Yoga.
Anyway, to sum it all up...for those who are wondering if they should buy Yoga Burn: Just Do It! Hope this helps : )
