Rodney Yee's Yoga for Your Week

See above

love these DVD's, 20 minutes is the perfect time to get it done

These are great and quick yoga videos for when you don't have a lot of time. Rodney Yee's videos are always easy to follow and relaxing. He explains everything clearly and gives suggestions if some of the poses might be too difficult for you. This video is great for beginners even though there are some more difficult poses that could be challenging at first.

I have to admit, I love Rodney Yee and rarely use any of my other DVDS for yoga, though I have many. This is one of my favorites, after the power yoga series (stamina is my favorite of that one). This yoga is slower than the power yoga, which sometimes is what I am looking for, rather than the fast pace of the power yoga workouts, which is what I want on some days. These are short workouts, around 20 minutes each, and I often combine two practices for a longer workout. It you are in a time pinch, as so many of us are, you can do one quick workout too. Although I find the labels of the workouts mismatched (The "Energy" workout seems more like a flexibility workout to me and the "flexibility" workout seemed more like a balance and strength workout to me) that isn't really all that important. I have about 8 of Rodney's yoga dvds and this is one of my favorites. Most of the poses are attainable for beginners - though I'm not good at balance poses (even after years of doing yoga) I think with a few exceptions, most poses can be done by a beginner. One of the reasons I love Rodney's dvds is his soft, soothing voice and he sticks to the yoga workout in his dialogue, which I love. No fluffy, new age talk. I highly recommend this dvd to anyone looking for a slower pace, fundamental yoga workout.

I can never devote a ton of time to exercise. There aren't enough hours in the day! That's why I really like these yoga videos. They are not too short, not too long and I like that there are different practices on each video to focus on specific areas so you get the most out of each 20 minute session. Plus, it helps to mix things up so they don't get too repetitive or boring. I have 2 other Rodney Yee videos (for beginners) and was interested in getting another one to try something new! This one had everything I wanted, 5 different practices, all of which are roughly 20 minutes long (sometimes they tend to go over by a couple of minutes). The pose transitions in this video seem to focus a little more on fluidity and constant motion than my other Gaiam videos, which I really liked. However, some of the poses in this video are a little more advanced than I'm used to. I realize that this is not labeled a beginners video and that "practice makes perfect". I just wasn't expecting it, so it came as a surprise! I hope to eventually master some of them.

I love this dvd. I have been doing some yoga here and there for a few months now. Some of it isn't challenging and it's always the same stuff between dvds. But Rodney Yee steps it up. In 20min you get a good yoga stretch and work out in. Some of the moves are challenging for a beginner such as myself who isn't as flexible as I should be with 4 months of Yoga under my belt lol. I had some struggle but kept with it because eventually I will have to learn to do these moves,right? Why avoid something that eventually I will have to start from square one with anyways in the future. I promise you,if you just stick with Rodney and his Yoga Poses that it really pays. During the actual Yoga session I felt no pain or discomfort just a small balance issue or can't reach as far which is normal as a beginner. BUT next day I felt some of my muscles a little sore and proved that Rodney is my new favorite. Keep with it,my friends.

Mr. Yee snapped with this video! It is by far his best and most versatile and most awesomesauce production. The music is soothing, his content grin is radiant and my flexibility and strength have improved in the week that I've had it. Love it! I'll definitely purchase some as gifts.

I wish the segments were a little more in depth. It has helped with some of my back issues, but I feel it could have been a little more intense. I do not work out a lot and I never even broke a sweat with any of the sequences. Might be a good introductory DVD, but you'll probably get bored quickly if you stick with it. I do love Rodney Yee, he is very grounding and calm and easy to listen to. Sometimes I had to watch the DVD then rewind because the narration and the action were happening at the same time. If you are serious about doing yoga I would probably look for a different video. I gave it 4 stars for the beautiful setting, the quality of video, and the selection of 5 different yoga practices.

I had heard lots of positive things about Rodney Yee's Yoga DVDs, so thought it was about time I invested in one. I am so glad I did, this DVD is great. Yee's voice is very calming, and the yoga practices are very relaxing but challenging if you choose them to be. The DVD has five different workouts, which are all great, unusual for me to like each segment, but I really did. There are pointers and very clear instructions on alignment, which a lot of Yoga dvds lack. If you are after an in-depth yet approachable yoga dvd this is the one for you, and the practices are roughly 20 minutes each (shortest is 18 longest is 23) you can easily slot one into your day.

Disappointing as I've got several of Rodney's DVDs but this one rushes through advanced moves with instructions that are difficult to follow. Maybe when I'm more advanced this will prove more useful although it still seems very fast. I much prefer AM Yoga for short, easy to follow and effective practices.

very good, the wife loves it, easy to follow, great teaching method, she finds it very relaxing, de-stressing, very good indeed !

Posseggo quasi tutti i DVD di Rodney Yee e non mi ha mai deluso - 5 sequenze di esercizi di circa 20 minuti l'uno, perfetti per iniziare la giornata e consigliati a tutti. Il ritmo è tranquillo e Rodney ti guida nelle posizioni con spiegazioni chiare ed efficaci, anche per la respirazione, con particolare attenzione per l'allungamento muscolare.Per correttezza aggiungo che ha fatto il DVD anche mio marito che è digiuno di conoscenza dello yoga che mi ha fatto notare come alcuni esercizi richiedano un buon livello di flessibilità e forza muscolare pertanto non indicato ai principianti ma ad un livello intermedio. Per me che sono più allenata è più difficile rendermi conto della difficoltà.

I have been doing Element & Atha yoga for a few years. I believe this session is way advanced. More for dancers or Olympic athletes.The flow is too quick between positions. It's pretty to looks at but difficult to follow.
