Not Bad...For Beginning.
I bought this Yoga DVD after assessing my day to day life and concluding that I had too many stressors affecting my mood and my body. I had heard from numerous friends that Yoga was an enlightening activity that could, if done properly, help bring balance to my life and help de-stress everyday situations and events. I'm glad to say that this DVD has helped do just that. I checked other Yoga DVDs available on Amazon, but I picked this one first not only because it said "Beginners" but because it had workouts for both the morning and evening. Each workout is roughly 20 minutes each and slowly starts to build basic Yoga skills.

The morning session starts out simple, relaxed. Rodney Yee engages you in exercises that are neither strenuous nor painful. They awaken the body and prepare it for the day ahead. However, as I continued these DVDs over a month I began to feel as if the A.M. session wasn't challenging enough. Sure, it starts off easily for a beginner, but it doesn't push you to challenge yourself a little more. Rodney's exercises are good, but they are almost too basic if you plan on continuing on to other forms of Yoga.

I especially enjoyed the evening session of Yoga with Patricia Walden. Unlike Rodney Yee, Patricia Walden's session of Yoga challenges you. When I started this DVD I initially thought that Ms. Walden's portion was too difficult for a beginner, but it wasn't. As I continued on with both sessions I started to feel that Patricia's section challenged my mind and body more than Rodney's. In fact, I started to enjoy the evening session because of the challenges it provided. Sure, Patricia's exercises start out difficult if you're just jumping into Yoga, but over time they become easier and more comforting. While I still can't do everything to the extent that Ms. Walden does in her portion, I know I'm slowly getting there each time I practice and that make me feel excellent. With Rodney's portion I feel that I am equal to beyond his exercise and I wish it provided more of a challenge.

Overall this DVD is a good buy if you are a beginner looking to dive into Yoga. The morning session will keep you busy for a while, but the evening session is the one that will push you to do more and go really get into Yoga. If, however, you feel you are fit enough and need more of a challenge, then this DVD might not be the one for you.

Lost 75 Pounds Using This Tape!
Origianlly I borrowed the VHS version of this DVD from my local public library. I was 355 # and huffed and puffed when I went up ONE flight of stairs at the time I began this practice. The only other thing I did was refrain from eating after 6pm. That's it. Nothing else. Over a period of several weeks, my body began to have more stamina, my breathing increased, my circulation felt wonderful, sex was terrific and I was losing weight. I'm down to 280 # and have 60 # more to go to reach my target weight.

Yoga isn't for everyone but this DVD is more about stretching and holding the post. I'm now able to hold a pose for a count of 30 even though I could hold it longer, I don't because I do not want my morning Yoga to feel like a chore. Thus I stick with the basic hold to 20 or 30.

The only other thing I did was slowly implement 20 push ups, 20 leg lifts (per side) and a 10 seconds of isometric with my arms. Nothing else.

It feels great. Thanks Rodney! I bought a copy of this while at the store and was pleased as pie with the newer DVD edition.

If you're sick and tired of being fat, outdated and not limber, THIS is the program for you! Then just roll out of bed, go pee an do your 14 minute workout and you'll never complain again about aches, pains & minor indignities again! This program works!

I almost went back to sleep!
I have found this DVD to be a little uneven. Even though it seems most of the reviews focus on Rodney Yee - I skip Rodney Yees AM portion which is almost too easy,(not enough to get my eyes open in the AM!) and go right to Patricia Walden which is tougher but I prefer a little challenge if I am going to do a practice. I like to feel that not only have I achieved something but also become a little stronger.
If you want something easy to follow and eye opening in the morning try the AM/PM yoga with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett.
