Incredibly relaxing, yet revitalizing. You come away with a sense that you've just done something good for yourself, and a sense of peace and calm. Not another 'home-video' quality Yoga program - I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism. Beautiful scenery, soothing music, confident instruction - all come together to make an excellent experience.

Poses are simple and easy to follow. Even for someone as out of shape as I was. AM totally relaxing but somehow gives strength and energy to make it through the day. PM releases tension and relaxes me enough to let me sleep at least 6 hours straight! I started out with the 15 min AM. That's all I had time for with working 12 hrs. a day. Now I do both. They are short enough where I can commit to 15 min in the moring and 18 min. at night. No matter how busy or hectic. I saw a difference in 1 week.

This is a great DVD if you are new to yoga. The both sessions are abot 20 minutes each and they are a great way to relax.

I agree with another reviewer that the AM portion is wonderful - relaxing, calming, a wonderful way to start the day. The PM portion, however, is very difficult for a beginner. I have trouble with it and I am in shape, and when I tried to get my 70 year old mother to do it, she couldn't do much of it at all. She should have been able to do some of a beginner yoga program. Once you get stronger, it is doable, and the music/scenes are beatiful and relaxing. So start with the AM with Rodney and work up to the PM yoga.

I Also Recommend:
Also suggest "Treat Your Knee Arthritis" if you have knee pain that interferes with your workout.

The AM part was very easy to follow, even if you are not flexible. I found it relaxing and rejuvanting. The scenes on the beach are beautiful. The PM portion is more of an intermediate level. For someone who is not flexible this portion is hard. There are too many leg poses and it seems she goes too fast for beginners. I will stick with doing the AM portion instead.

I have been doing these practices for years on VHS and am now buying DVD versions. This is good traditional yoga in 20 minute the way it is meant to be done. If you practice these everyday you will find a great increase in flexibility and wellness. People who don't understand yoga may not get the benefits of a short practice. I am very active and busy. I find this yoga a good balance for cardio and strength training.

This dvd was just not long enough. Just as I was getting warmed up, it was over.

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.First let me begin by saying that GAIAM puts out excellent DVDs for yoga. I own several and each exceeds my expectations. Rodney Yee instructs a wonderful yoga practice that gently wakes your muscles and quiets the mind for the day. This practice is filmed in Maui. The scenery is stunning and adds to the yoga practice. Now if you want a more active/vigorous practice for a way to work out the stress of a day the PM session with Patricia Walden walks you through that option. Her session is filmed at the Sand Dunes in Death Valley which accentuates the winding down and relaxing of the mind. These practices have allowed me to walk into a beginning class with an instructor and pick up with the class immediately. For an added bonus, a section for properly using yoga props is demonstrated by Suzanne Deason.

This yoga is perfect for those who need to move constantly. Some people can't just be and relax. This yoga keeps you moving and in the moment, yet the constant slow movement is relaxing. However, if you want a more meditative yoga with long quiet poses, this may not be for you.

I really enjoy the AM Yoga. It's easy, relaxing and I really notice the difference in the way I feel. The PM is a bit harder although I'm sure as time goes by I'll get used to it. I'm glad I got this DVD.

A.M. yoga helps focus on waking the relaxed mind and body. It is very well designed. But P.M yoga is fast paced , not allowing for enough time to draw a full breath. I ended up feeling sick after a workout. I fo not recommend this version. The instructor goes thru the motions too fast.

I absolutely love these videos! I try to do the AM each and every day--when I don't do it, I notice a huge difference in my energy level throughout the day. As far as the PM goes, it is definately more difficult, but with practice becomes easier. I am amazed that I'm able to sleep so well after performing exercise! I highly recommend these videos!

You have to read the fine print to realize Rodney Yee doesn't do the PM session and while I love the AM session with him, I find the PM very difficult to follow. Frequently, I have to get out of pose and turn around to see the screen because she is not walking you through it verbally well enough.

I learned these moves in rehab years ago. When I found myself needing to start exercise over from square one, this is one of the videos I turned to. There are some moves that are - and may always be - beyond my ability to fully execute, but they are easy to modify. I'd recommend this video to anyone wanting a handful of basic, uncomplicated poses for morning and evening practice.

Unless you're one of those characters in Wall-E who is completely inactive, overweight, and lazy, then you'll get nothing out of this DVD. It's not yoga; it's glorified stretching for wastes of life who apparently never walk, stand, or really do anything even remotely involving their bodies.

This video is great for anybody who wants to do a little yoga at morning and at night. I'm a full time student and i work full time and in about ten minutes a day, using this video, you can totally increase your clarity and vitality first thing in the morning and keep it through the day. Highly recomended.
