Rating: Summary: Great for beginners! Review: My husband and I just started our Yoga practice and this DVD was easy to understand and follow. After the first few times you watch it you can pretty much do it from memory and work more on your poses than worrying about if you are on the right pose. We especilly like the PM Yoga session. We will definatly be buying more Living Arts products!
Rating: Summary: The best thing I've every done. Review: I have been investigating some sort of exercise that would improve my health without having to "Go for the burn" and then be paralized for a week. Being a computer consultant/coach potato isn't easy! I actually bought the DVD in the hopes that it would help my newly diagnosed Fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms. I was absolutely amazed at how wonderful I felt after the first time, trying the PM session to assist me in sleeping easier and more deeply (usually a problem for FM sufferers). I woke up the next day feeling fantastic. I can't remember feeling this good in years. I then signed up for local classes in Yoga AND quit smoking (finally)! Yoga teaches you to breath deeply, relax and be in the moment. Perfect for me @ this stage of my life - mid 30's is a definite life stage/change.
Rating: Summary: The All-Day Yoga Workout - A.M., Stress Relief, and P.M. Yog Review: I really loved this DVD. I like the convenience of having three different workouts and being able to access each of them quickly. The timing of each workout (20 minutes) works with my schedule. You get a chance to do a little yoga without cutting a big chunk of time out of your schedule. The workouts are easy, gentle and a great way to try yoga or, if you know yoga, just be able to devote a small portion of time to yoga each day.
Rating: Summary: Excellent for beginners! Review: I just received my DVD and only had the chance to do the stress relief yoga. So far, unfortunately I only can attend my yoga call once a week due to a busy work schedule. I think it is a very good yoga dvd for beginners and the 20 min. time range is just right for me. I easily can take 20 min. in the afternoon to do the stress relief and it helps me greatly to continue my work more focused. I had purchased the "Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss" DVD and started with this on but unfortunately I got a bad copy and it skipped tracks. It seemed to have good exercises but I think the am/stress/pm is the better one for beginners. I also like the visual backgrounds of the DVD. I do not like most of the others I had previewed that where in a studio environment. Again, in my opinion the best DVD for a beginner!
Rating: Summary: Love the PM session Review: I am a beginner, and I find the PM yoga an excellent excercise that's both a good introduction to yoga and an effective workout. I recently got hurt in lower back in an auto-accident, and following the PM session helped ease my pain. The production quality is excellent too.Unfortunately I did not find myself liking the other two sessions.
Rating: Summary: I really enjoyed the PM session Review: I absolutely enjoyed this DVD, mostly the PM session. Patricia Walden is awsome in leading you through a series of movies that is both challenging and soothing. I am a yoga beginner, and I find the instructions as well as the poses helpful to get me started. I also have some lower back problem, which these yoga moves definitely has been helping. If you are a beginner, I absolutely recommend the DVD.
Rating: Summary: Okay basic Review: I purchased this DVD as I am a beginner with Yoga. I thought that the instructor was helpful, but that the exercises were limiting. I think that the weight loss one is much better. The routines are rather quick though, so it is good to chill you out and relax if you don't have much time.
Rating: Summary: This is barely even helpful for beginners Review: I waited on this product for quite some time, and was highly disappointed when I finally received it. I enjoy doing yoga, and consider myself to be in the "Experienced beginner" range. I find this to be more mediatation oriented, as the instructors provide very VERY basic moves that relax more than invigorate in all three vignettes. This was marketed in a misleading manner, as I think this is intended for those looking for a mediatative guide, or someone perhaps that has been injured and is restarting the workout process. Or for someone that is just beginning their work out routine. The only endearing quality that I can find is that this offers the viewers a detailed content section on the DVD selection menu. I am an avid fan of Rodney Yee, and even his segment was a complete disappointment.
Rating: Summary: Scenic, but boring Review: I am just beginning yoga and found this DVD quite beautiful but exceptionally boring. The yoga instructors are quite good and Rodnee is a peach, but both are not very athletic looking. Rodnee was nice to look at but had no personality. I hope they can get more exciting instructors to do the series over again.
Rating: Summary: This DVD is fantastic.... Review: This is the third yoga tape I have bought and definitely the best. I especially enjoy the Stress Relief 20 minute workout with Suzanne Deason. I am defintely a beginner at yoga, but I found that I could handle this tape without feeling like an incompetent or that I might hurt myself trying to get into the poses. All three workouts are extremely relaxing. I stretched muscles and relieved tension in places on my body that I wasn't even aware of! The PM session is definitely the toughest, but still not bad at all considering I have always been very unflexible and stiff. All in all, a fantastic beginner's tape, ideal for relaxation and those who are just getting into yoga like me.
