The importance of the breath is familiar to anyone who practices yoga, as is its significance in the pursuit of a deeper, more meditative state. But it never hurts to be reminded of that connection, especially as yoga's growing popularity has turned it in a more active, less contemplative direction. The title of this DVD program pretty much describes the content; it consists of two approximately 30-minute sections, one ("Conscious Relaxation") devoted to several easy, relaxation-inducing poses and the other ("Conscious Breahing") focusing entirely on the breath itself. (Also included are an 8-minute "guided meditation" and an interview with instructor Rodney Yee.) It's unlikely that you'll break a sweat, and you won't "go for the burn," as yoga practitioners seem intent on doing these days--but you might reach a place of stillness that's considerably more profound. Note: The use of certain props (mat, blanket, pillow, chair) is recommended. --Sam Graham

Breathe
I have a few DVDs by Rodney and this one is a change of pace (th others are great) in that it is a more meditative/relaxation based DVD as the title says.

It has two routines, one focusing on relaxation and one on breathiong, both of which are easy to follow and do.

I enjoy all the variations of yoga (routines designed to move quiker) but the relaxation aspects are why I do it and this one does that well.

relaxation and breathing
Warning look at item carefully Gaiam repackages of previously released dvd and sells with a new title but old recordings
this is one of them

very easy to follow -
Rodney Yee has a great way of talking to everyone and making meditation accessible regardless of injuries or age.
