Rating: Summary: OK but a little too difficult for a beginnner Review: This has many great poses, but some need more explanitory time for a beginner.
Rating: Summary: Good Bacis Yoga - Heavy on the prop usage Review: The workouts are a nice addition to any yoga regimen. The only downsides to this DVD are that the menu is a pain to navigate and it is not set up in a very intuitive manner. Secondly, this program relies heavily on props. I would go so far as to say that you would be doing a completely different set of poses without using props while doing this DVD. This is a plus and a minus, using props so heavily in poses was new for me, so it was interesting to learn how to use them, but I had to go and buy the props before going through the DVD. If you have props, and are looking for some guided yoga, poses this is a good buy.
Rating: Summary: starting to exercise? Review: I've done aerobics, steps, pilates, running...you name it!...but I've never consider yoga as a workout routine, I started practicing yoga and bought this dvd, It is perfect! specially if you are a beginner why?, THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: it has a section where you can learn the name and the posture of each yoga position, which is essential to know if you are a beginner!, the AM workout is great!(all of them are good, but this is my fave)although I just started practicing yoga, I see significance changes in my body and well-being, when I am exercising my form, posture and flexibility is much better! if you are new, be patient, but worth a hundred fold to try yoga and/or combining it with your regular routine.
Rating: Summary: you'll love this one if your new to yoga Review: I recently just started doing yoga. I don't really have the time to take classes and this dvd is the next best thing. i feel so refreshed and relaxed. this is a must buy!
Rating: Summary: New to yoga? Curious? This is the ONE to get. Review: The other reviews have offered ample reasons for purcasing this. I would add that while the straps and blocks are needed, these can, if you wish, be fashioned from things you have around the house. A nice wide terrycloth belt from an old robe makes a great strap, for example.If new to yoga, the best course would be to do Rodney Yee's A.M. Yoga for 21 days. This will build a healthy habit that will help you more than you can realize. Each of these lessons, by the way, are very well written and sensitively convey the benefit of the movements while expertly leading you through the actions. Suzanne Deeston's Yoga for Stress is more strenuous and is very effective. A week or two into Rodney's A.M. session, you might want to begin with the Stress session after work. After a week or two of Yoga for Stress, you should be ready for the P.M. session. But don't rush into it. Take your time. If you do nothing other than wake up each morning and do A.M. Yoga, I believe you will find very pleasing results. I give this a powerful 5 star rating.
Rating: Summary: Every minute is wonderful! Review: What a great way to get three yoga workouts in one DVD! Three workouts to match the time of day and/or your mood, or both! I find myself doing AM yoga in the morning to start my day and awaken my senses, stress relief yoga on the weekends when I try to unwind and not think about work, and PM yoga in the evenings to prepare me for a restful night's sleep. I am a beginner and found these to be just up to my speed, although I think all levels will enjoy. There are some nice extra features including a chapter search so you can go right to the spot you want, how to use yoga props (VERY informative), nice bios of the three instructors, and even a yoga music feature. Besides a mat, you will also need a block & strap for these workouts. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: The Only Yoga Workout I Need Review: I am a newby to the world of Yoga, but since I hurt my back, I have been looking for a great HOME DVD that could help me relax, stretch and have more flexability. "The All-Day Yoga Workout - AM, Stress Relief and PM Yoga for Beginners" DVD is just what I was looking for. It's low maintainance and really easy to work with. I found it so calming and user friendly that I plan to give it as Christmas gifts. Anyone can use this program and feel like they are accomplishing something. It's a wonderful tool for beginners out there - Just Like Me!!!!
Rating: Summary: Beginner Workout Review: The AM section was *very* easy. Basically it did nothing for me, so gentle that afterward I felt as though I didn't do anything at all. The Stress Relief and PM were both very similar, and both surprisingly focused mostly on the legs. I personally hold tension in my shoulders and neck, and it would have been nice if the Stress Relief focused more on those areas. But for what they do, both segments are very good. Beginners should be able to follow along well after watching the segment once, and paying attention to the voice cues. With continued practice, you'll definitely see more flexibility in your legs. *elissa
Rating: Summary: A wonderful way to start Yoga Review: I am new to Yoga and picked this title up from a crowded shelf. I am glad I did. It is calm and the instructors' voices are as if they are talking you through a personal Yoga class. Since buying this one, I have seen others where the 'instructors' employ Hollywood hype and senseless phrases such as: 'inhale in, exhale out', (is there another way?), and 'beautiful'. More like a promotional video/paid program you can find in the off hours on some remote cable station. All three segments in this All Day Yoga DVD are encouraging and make sense. It made me ready for more.
Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC!! Review: Great for beginner or advanced, just don't try to get your head to your kneecaps the first few times. Beautiful scenery, lovely music. After trying several, this is the best. Namaste!
