Rodney Yees 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. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more

I love his videos! The music is peaceful and relaxing and so is his voice. The pacing of the poses is good and easy to follow. I definitely felt good after each session. Read more

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. Read more

I took this out of the library when I was looking for some new yoga workouts when my yoga studio closed. I have had several of the older Rodney Yee workouts on VCR tapes, but the problem I had with them is that he moved through the workouts way too fast. This DVD is different. There are 5 different workouts, each approximately 20 minutes long, and they are much more of a flow at a reasonable pace While I like to hold poses longer, these work very well on days when I have limited time to get my yoga in, and each workout is totally different.

Not for beginners. Love it though Read more
