Customer Reviews

The best beginner yoga DVD
I purchased several yoga DVDs designed for beginners and/or inflexible people, and this one is by far the best. The pose section leads you through about 10 key poses, providing clear guidance on how to do them properly, and noting common mistakes. Going through this section a couple of times is very useful, and a good workout in and of itself. The additional two workout provided on the DVD are GREAT, and give you several options for voice-over narration--detailed instruction when you are still learning, more low-key or inspirational voice-overs once you've got it down. Get this DVD before getting any others.

When the title is accurate
This is one case in which the title does not mislead. If you don't have much background in yoga and need to have all the various postures explained in some detail, this is the DVD for you. Even if you do have some experience with yoga, they will take you back to the basics where you might need a little correction here and there. Also, on the disc Rodney Yee and his partner take you through the steps of two yoga workouts that will lead you in the end to a wonderful feeling of relaxation.

Not for true beginners
I bought this DVD based on the rave reviews of how appropriate this DVD is for beginners. With the exception of one yoga class many years ago, I consider myself a true beginner and was looking for a DVD that would start with a thorough introduction to the basics. While the section on poses does a good job of focusing on common mistakes, the camera angle is awkward and sometimes cuts off when you are trying to follow along. With that said, the attempt at fancy camera work hinders the ability to follow along in true form, and this continues into the workout section. For instance, some shots only display Rodney's head and arms held up, but will omit the position he takes with his legs. I was not able to complete the first workout section; the pace was quite quick and unless you have the poses memorized by name and form, you would not be able to keep up with Rodney. This DVD is best for advanced beginners who are already versed in yoga poses and only need additional instruction to correct form. Discouraging DVD for the true beginner!
