DVD Reviews of The All-Day Yoga Workout - A.M., Stress Relief, and P.M. Yoga for Beginners
DVD Review: Great video
Summary: 5 Stars
I feel much better after practicing with Rodney Yee. The A.M. program helps me waking up and starting my day with more energy. The P.M. program is awesome to help me have a good night sleep.
Just don't practice near any table full of glasses because you might break them!! lol
DVD Review: A perfect way to relax any time of day
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my daughter who went away to college for the first time and between sports and a full course load was having a very tough time of things. She was even getting injured because she was always so tense. Her coach suggested yoga, but she didn't have time and had never done it before. She has found that this set has loosened her up tremendously before her games and her swing has improved. This set has made a huge difference in relaxing her after tough classes and the p.m. disc helps her get to sleep and clear her mind. I've noticed a huge reduction in her stress levels and her favorite disc is the stress relief. She is normally very high strung and on the go and this set has really helped her with a lot of relaxation and calming techniques. I highly recommend it.DVD Review: Great for Beginners and Intermediate
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the first Yoga DVDs I owned. I have since worked my way through several of Rodney Yee's and some other productions as well, but I believe this remains my favorite because of the flexibility it offers.
It is nice to complete a more serious Yoga collection because it has 3 short components (each around 30 minutes). This way you have segments that are short enough to do every day. Most other videos I own are comprised of one hour long session divided into 3 segments. The living arts series say that you can do just one of the segments, but when it completes one, it continues playing into the next (some videos don't even show the segment breaks). However, this video is 3 different workouts. So this video is convenient if you just feel you need to decompress or stretch for 30 minutes.
The exercises are simple enough for any beginner. I would classify the exercises as relaxation and stretching.
DVD Review: I own almost all the Rodney Yee DVDs...
Summary: 5 Stars
What I like most about Rodney's practices is the way his tone of voice encourages me to reach, but doen't demand perfection.
This DVD is the first yoga CD I ever purchased. While I do attend yoga classes, I find this DVD still very useful. I especially like the emphasis on dealing with stress.
I love watching the intro sections where Rodney shows what a lifetime of yoga can do for you. It's amazing the poses he is able to do, making it look so effortless.
I also second the poster who recommended blocks and straps. No need to hurt yourself, and using these in no way takes away from the practice
DVD Review: awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this every moring for a year when I was very stressed with my job and it helped a lot
Description of The All-Day Yoga Workout - A.M., Stress Relief, and P.M. Yoga for Beginners
Living Yoga has created an exceptional yoga DVD with their three-in-one All-Day Yoga Workout, which combines three of their most popular programs. The first workout is A.M. Yoga for Beginners, a 15-minute morning set led by Rodney Yee. In the morning, Yee tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules.The next set is Stress Relief Yoga for Beginners, led by Suzanne Deason. This 20-minute practice, during a sunset on the beach at Maui, will help relax your mind and muscles--especially those of the neck, shoulders, and lower back, where tension accumulates--and let stress drift away. The yoga practice includes 4?minutes of gentle stretch, a 13-minute stress-relief workout that increases circulation and flexibility, and 3?minutes of deep relaxation to leave you calmed and balanced.
The final workout is P.M. Yoga for Beginners, filmed at Death Valley and led by Patricia Walden. This 20-minute evening routine is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. These workouts are perfect for the harried and the beginner, and you will need some props (a yoga strap, a brick, a mat, and some firm blankets).
The DVD format is ideal for a workout program--the chapter search makes it easy to skip the introduction and jump right into the body work. Or if you're short on time and just need to relax, you can move directly to the meditations. An extra feature, "Learning the Basics," has pictures of every pose with written instructions on how to do them, which is just the thing for beginners who feel befuddled when told to do a cow-face pose or gate pose. A section on props explains how to use straps, bricks, and mats in order to modify more difficult poses for less limber bodies. Finally, the interviews with Suzanne Deason, Patricia Walden, and Rodney Yee round out the DVD, making for a full program. This is the ultimate introduction to yoga; it's a workout regimen that's easy to incorporate into your daily life and fun enough to convince you to stick with it. --Jenny Brown
