Customer Reviews

very advanced and challenging
Again...i wanted to challenge myself in my yoga practice and felt i was ready so i bought myself this dvd. I cannot say anything negative about this DVD really. At first, i had some difficulty keeping up with the "arm balance" section because Rodney moved a little fast through it, but after that i got the hang of it (as witn any new dvd). I felt satisfied and got a great yoga workout. It really works your arm balance poses and opens up the hips, an area i still have difficulty with but i see an increase of flexibility already. Rodney is calm and very informative, specially in the breathing section. The settings are very peaceful and appeal to the eye.
But...this DVD is not for beginners in any way!!! you can easely harm yourself if you are not flexible or already have at least 2-3 years of GOOD yoga experience and some arm balance poses. There are a few poses (arm balance) i still cant do so i skip those and practice additionally in my own time to strenghten and when ready ill follow the Flow completely and safely.
This DVD is truely inspirational and I feel Rodney really delivers. So its worth buying if you really want to challenge yourself.

yoga god
i love all the rodney yee dvds that i have purchased. this is one of my faves because it truly is challenging and i feel totally relaxed and i know i have gotten a good work out.i am much more flexible now and i have noticed my upper body becoming much stronger. i have had some knee trouble throughout my life but with the help of this workout my knees don't creek and crack as much and my legs just feel better.

Fabulous
I have taught yoga for 3 years and am always asked which DVDs I would recommend to help with home practice. For a long time, I did not have any recommendations I felt comfortable giving... until I started looking into the Rodney Yee DVDs for myself. I have always had ample classes and instroctors from which to choose, so using DVDs was never a priority until my students began wanting help in choosing theirs.

That said, this particular DVD, as has been stated many times is not for beginners at all. If you are intermediate, be prepared to "let go" of the poses for which your body is not ready.

For the advanced practitioner or the intermediate student who just needs a teacher to bring them up to the next level, this DVD is perfection. The discussion about how to move into the poses is spot-on, and the hip opening sequence is the best choreographed and most effective I've come across.

I highly recommend this DVD, but if you know that your body is not quite ready, I can also say, with confidence, that any Rodney Yee DVD is going to be helpful in your yoga endeavors.
