Rodney Yee's Yoga for Your Week

I purchased this DVD several years ago, and it is my absolute favorite. I have become much more flexible since I started doing this yoga. The voice and music are very relaxing and a great start to my day. There are 5 different exercises, each about 20 - 25 minute, which is perfect for me.

Not for beginners. Love it though

I can never devote a ton of time to exercise. There aren't enough hours in the day! That's why I really like these yoga videos. They are not too short, not too long and I like that there are different practices on each video to focus on specific areas so you get the most out of each 20 minute session. Plus, it helps to mix things up so they don't get too repetitive or boring. I have 2 other Rodney Yee videos (for beginners) and was interested in getting another one to try something new! This one had everything I wanted, 5 different practices, all of which are roughly 20 minutes long (sometimes they tend to go over by a couple of minutes). The pose transitions in this video seem to focus a little more on fluidity and constant motion than my other Gaiam videos, which I really liked. However, some of the poses in this video are a little more advanced than I'm used to. I realize that this is not labeled a beginners video and that "practice makes perfect". I just wasn't expecting it, so it came as a surprise! I hope to eventually master some of them.

I have to admit, I love Rodney Yee and rarely use any of my other DVDS for yoga, though I have many. This is one of my favorites, after the power yoga series (stamina is my favorite of that one). This yoga is slower than the power yoga, which sometimes is what I am looking for, rather than the fast pace of the power yoga workouts, which is what I want on some days. These are short workouts, around 20 minutes each, and I often combine two practices for a longer workout. It you are in a time pinch, as so many of us are, you can do one quick workout too. Although I find the labels of the workouts mismatched (The "Energy" workout seems more like a flexibility workout to me and the "flexibility" workout seemed more like a balance and strength workout to me) that isn't really all that important. I have about 8 of Rodney's yoga dvds and this is one of my favorites. Most of the poses are attainable for beginners - though I'm not good at balance poses (even after years of doing yoga) I think with a few exceptions, most poses can be done by a beginner. One of the reasons I love Rodney's dvds is his soft, soothing voice and he sticks to the yoga workout in his dialogue, which I love. No fluffy, new age talk. I highly recommend this dvd to anyone looking for a slower pace, fundamental yoga workout.

Big fan of Rodney, this DVD is one of his best.

This is the third Rodney Yee yoga dvd I have gotten and it is really great! I have only just, finally, started doing the routines on it, but already I am feeling the benefits. As with anything, there are plenty of moves I cannot do yet and others I can onlt sort of do. Even still I love Rodney’s approach to the routines and will keep at it to get better.Overall, I really love that this is broken down into 5 different 20 minute routines. Each have their own benefits and based on the descriptions and your mood, etc you can pick which works best for you. If you like Rodney Yee’s style of yoga this will be a great addition.

These are great and quick yoga videos for when you don't have a lot of time. Rodney Yee's videos are always easy to follow and relaxing. He explains everything clearly and gives suggestions if some of the poses might be too difficult for you. This video is great for beginners even though there are some more difficult poses that could be challenging at first.

I've been practicing yoga for over 20 years. Now in my 60s, I've lost some cartilage in my thumbs and shoulder and avoid certain poses. While a big fan of Rodney Yee, this video includes plank, pushup, crow and upward backbend -- which are all too difficult for my joints now. The only dvd of Yee's I can still comfortably do is A.M. Yoga. I had hoped to find another.
