Love this DVD!!
I do the PM part of this DVD each morning and can't believe the difference it makes in my body after just 25 minutes of yoga. This DVD is perfect for those who are not very flexible (me included). What I can't figure out is why the woman in the PM part is in the middle of a sandstorm while Rodney Yee (AM part) is in an idyllic beach setting!

Wonderful Beginning Yoga DVD!
AM Yoga - with instructor Rodney Yee, filmed on a Maui beach as sunrise, AM Yoga gently awakens your mind and body to start your day off right. The workout begins with a 4 minute conscious relaxation series the focuses on your breathing and almost always puts me back to sleep, but you can skip this section if you want. The 14 minute yoga series if very good, a series of gentle stretches and exercises to get your blood flowing and to start feeling like you are a live person instead of a zombie. The 2 minute seated guided meditation set at the end is a great time to focus and relax before getting into your daily routine. A very soothing and gentle way to slide into your hectic workday.

PM Yoga - with instructor Patricia Walden, filmed on the sands of Death Valley. PM Yoga is a wonderful way to wind down at the end of a stressful or hectic day. You begin with a series of centering poses, which help you become aware of your body and your breathing. These stretches help you find out where the tension is in your body and work on your balance. Then you move into a series of standing poses, where you can target that tension and release it and focus on your breath and what your body is telling you. At the end, you lie down for some final restorative poses that always make me drift off to sleep. Patricia has a very soothing voice and does an excellent job at telling you what stretches should feel like and how to breathe and where to release the tension. A wonderful way to end your day and ensure a good night's rest.

I am a total beginner when it comes to Yoga and I have very tight hamstrings so I struggle with a lot of the poses, but I really like this set because the instructors are very clear and precise in their instructions and they are easy to follow. They don't give you modifications for the stretches, though, and both of them are very flexible so I have to use a yoga block (a must!) or a sturdy book or something to hold onto so I don't lose my balance because I cannot touch the ground. Still, both sections are very soothing and really do help me to keep my stress level down during the day. I have found my quality of sleep is much higher and I am not as stressed at work when I take 20 minutes in the morning and evening to take a little time for myself. All of the DVDs/videos are excellent and have beautiful cinematography - a great beginner's set!

Great ways to start and end your day
I have used these sessions for the last few months and what a difference they have made in my life. The PM yoga is a bit more strenuous than the AM version, which is strange, but they are both very, very effective. This is good stuff!!
