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.

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 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.

I wish the segments were a little more in depth. It has helped with some of my back issues, but I feel it could have been a little more intense. I do not work out a lot and I never even broke a sweat with any of the sequences. Might be a good introductory DVD, but you'll probably get bored quickly if you stick with it. I do love Rodney Yee, he is very grounding and calm and easy to listen to. Sometimes I had to watch the DVD then rewind because the narration and the action were happening at the same time. If you are serious about doing yoga I would probably look for a different video. I gave it 4 stars for the beautiful setting, the quality of video, and the selection of 5 different yoga practices.

This DVD is by far one of Rodney's best in recent years. His style remains the same - which I why I'm such a fan of his, but he switches it up for this one. "New" poses and transitions that aren't on his previous videos. In my opinion, it's more on the intermediate level, but a fantastic step for beginners to transition. They are all great sessions for anytime of the day.I've been an avid practitioner of Rodney Yee's yoga for 10 years. His style and instruction is graceful, calming, and incredibly easy to follow. He doesn't over-explain, like a lot of instructors do, somehow, without the need to look at the screen frequently throughout the session. I have many of his DVDs, and I enjoy every one of them, even the beginners' practice, although my skill level is much higher.

Not for beginners. Love it though

There are 5 sessions to choose from but I usually use the same one, for morning. It's easy to follow and not intimidating at all. I feel good afterward, like I did something healthy for myself. Ready to start the day.

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.
