 : AM/PM Yoga for Beginners
This video is appropriate for people who have no interest in a yoga workout whatsoever. It is slow, ineffective, and short. More time is spent reading the warnings than doing any real yoga. The am portion is so slow it will put you right back to sleep. Save your money! Buy a real yoga video!

This title is completely misleading, and this video does not feature anything especially arduous--that anyone would think would lead to weight loss (per se).

It is a decent beginners yoga DVD, that's it.

A great yoga video for beginners although the edition that I received has an extra 10 minutes of breathing exercises added to the beginning that the original version did not have. The original got right into the physical workout after about three minutes of breathing and centering. Some beginners may find the longer period of breathing a bit tedious and want to skip over some of it.

The DVD had two sessions - backbends and forward bends. Some of the poses in the forward bends session are very difficult. The really unfortunate aspect of this DVD is that there's no menu selection that allows you to immediately start a session. You either have to sit through the opening dialog for each session or keep hitting the next button. The DVD should have at least three sessions, minimize the opening dialog, and provide better verbal instruction through each pose.

This was my very first yoga tape that I purchased when I was a young teenager. I was just starting to exercise regularly and found this to be a great introduction to yoga. I could do all of the regular movements from the get-go even though I wasn't particularly flexible. I'm not sure why people are saying that it's not for beginners, because I found it to be pretty gentle and uncomplicated. There are a few poses that might be more difficult for people with limitations *for ex. I have always had tightness in my shoulders so I can't do fully the movements where you put your arms behind your back* However nothing extraordinary. Also one thing I remember noticing right away was that with each time you practiced the tape, your flexibility continues to increase. This video is a perfect length for a good yoga ... Read More

I am a neophyte when it comes to yoga, and in many respects this DVD was an excellent resource. Instructor Sara Ivanhoe, who is clearly an accomplished yoga instructor, walks the viewer through the most basic "daily dozen" yoga moves in about 45 minutes. Each move is explained carefully and is held for six breaths as Ms. Ivanhoe demonstrates the move. From this foundation, Ms. Ivanhoe explains slightly more advanced poses and techniques, but we're definitely talking approachable, manageable stuff for beginners.

All this is supplemented by the usual "For Dummies" learning aids, like mythbusters and jargon translators. All in all, this is a helpful introduction to the world of yoga.

Why only four stars? Because the workout moves so slowly. After the second time through the DVD, I ... Read More

 : Yoga Journal's: Yoga Remedies for Natural Healing: For Beginners
This is the original VHS release of a product that is currently in re-release by Gaiam and titled "Healing Yoga." The video features five short yoga routines (each about 8.5 minutes), so the VHS format makes it somewhat awkward to maneuver from one to the next. The practices are led by yoga instructor Rodney Yee, who teaches via voiceover. In addition to the five main routines, the video begins with a 4-minute "Conscious Breathing" exercise: here Yee leads the viewer through breath awareness while in a reclined position. I have described each of the five main practices in detail below.

Stress. This practice is a bit shorter than the others (7.5 minutes), and it is designed to release tension from the head, neck, and shoulders; Yee demonstrates along with fellow yoga instructor Suzanne Deason. ... Read More

 : Power Flexibility Yoga for Beginners with Rodney Yee (Living Yoga)
As a beginner to yoga, I was very surprised to see the fast pace of this workout. You barely get into position before Rodney jumps (literally) to a different one. He does not explain or talk you through most of this workout. It is very repetitious with lots and lots of upward and downward dogs and forward bends. I was disappointed with this video, as compared to Yoga for Athletes which sounds very, very daunting but has three levels of demonstration and Rodney slowly moves through the sessions and explains everything thoroughly. If this Power Yoga were the first one I had done, I would not have bought another.

I have been taking yoga classes for some time and have a few of Rodney Yee's tapes. He has a quiet, soothing manner and the scenery is lovely. The only problem that I have with this and some of his other videos are that sometimes when he is coaching the viewer's breathing, he neglects to follow through.

I have found after doing the exercises, the restlessness in my legs is gone, and I am able to sleep well. I focus on the exercises related to my legs, which are many, and simple, even most elderly people should be able to do many of these.
