| DVD Description 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 |

Great way to start the day This was recommended by a friend and I am glad he did. My wife and I each start our day with AM Yoga and it is wonderful.
Walden good, Yee too Fast Patricia Walden does a fair job of explaining and holding the poses. Rodney Yee is a bit too quick. I am normally on the floor just listening to what to do, but when I look up, Yee is already in the pose and beginning to release. The narration is a bit behind the action. You can still get a good stretch (have the pause button handy). Watch the extra video using the props if you are a beginner. The 3rd yoga routine probably helps beginners see more about how to position ones self for each pose.
four years practicing yoga now and still use it This DVD is excellent for starting in yoga. It was my very first contact with the yoga world and it helped me through difficult times. Although nowadays I practice more advanced ways of yoga I still love deeply this DVD and still use it to acomplish a peaceful mind. Thanx MR. Yee. Namaste |
