Rodney Yee: Yoga Burn

I am fairly new to yoga and purchased this DVD after watching a trailer for it. I was very excited by the thought of slow and coordinated movements to strengthen my body. I feel this DVD does achieve that. In the first segments, you get through these really tough downward facing-dog exercises that really made me sweat and feel the burn. The emphasis on the breathing is very helpful and I was able to focus on that rather than my body struggling through. :o) The flow and gradual movement throughout this DVD is phenomenal and made this DVD a worthy purchase.

The only complaint I have about this DVD is that in the first part, say about 20-30 minutes, you can really feel the burn and I was sweating through it. Then the rest of the DVD kind of just fizzles out with the exercises. Rodney Yee goes through some seated floor bends that just really didn't do it for me. On a side note though, I did see a video that recommended using wrist weights when you progress for this DVD. I haven't tried that avenue yet, but I think that will help ease my qualms about the last part of this DVD. Overall great DVD and would recommend to anyone just starting yoga. I don't think that someone in the advanced stage of their level in yoga would receive much benefit with this DVD. The poses are in the beginner to intermediate level of yoga in my opinion and I not sure if it would keep a higher level interested.

The "slow" element to this DVD is what makes this DVD amazing and it still has kept me coming back for more! Thank you Rodney Yee for being so innovated!

I have 3 of his videos and enjoy all of them. His pace is faster than most but I enjoy the continued movement. I know the poses he refers to in the video so I'm not watching it, just listening and moving from one pose to the next and concentrating on breathing and perfecting my form.

This is an amazing yoga video which DOES make me feel the burn. Slow, sloooow excercises . . . very, very effective. I consider myself a beginner and yet found the instructions clear and easy to follow. I'd heard that Rodney Yee was amazing and I have to agree. I love my new yoga video!

I often hear of yoga studios offering a "slow flow" yoga class, but I haven't been able to find any "slow flow" DVDs. I've seen music CDs for "slow flow" but no videos. I was hoping this DVD would be "slow flow," but it's just vinyasa (flowing yoga) to me. Can anyone recommend a good "slow flow" DVD?

it definatly burns, but it is sloooooooow.
this dvd is all about slow and controled movements held for a long time.
I personaly dont have the self-discipline to do this kind of yoga at home, alone.
