VHS Movie Reviews of Power Flexibility Yoga for Beginners with Rodney Yee (Living Yoga)
Movie Review: Needed: Upper Body Strength
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this tape with the intention of using it to round out my fitness regimen of aerobics, weight training and flexibility exercise. I knew a few poses that I used for stretching after workouts, but wanted to practice yoga a little more formally. In general, this is a good tape. The length is perfect for an end-of-workout stretch. However, as a reasonably fit person who has done weight training for a few years and has considerable upper-body strength, I find it difficult to hold some of the positions as long as Mr. Yee does. For example, there is a great deal of emphasis on the "downward dog", which is fine, but he has you bear all your weight in your arms while you stretch your legs behind you for too long a period. Even the "freakishly strong" can't hold themselves up this long. So for this reason, and for the fact that none of the poses are explained, I would have to agree with the common complaint that this tape is not for beginners. However, I would recommend it as a good after-workout stretch.Movie Review: Not for beginners, unfortunately
Summary: 2 Stars
This tape was definitely too hard for me. I now understand that it's beginner's Power Yoga, but the word "beginners" in the title is a bit misleading. I'm not in the best shape, but I usually push myself to finish a video, but I couldn't do it with this one. I can't do push-ups, and I couldn't think of a reasonable alternative to get from one pose to the next. I'll try again, but maybe after getting a beginner's Yoga (not Power) video.Movie Review: Bite sized stretching.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is currently my favorite 20 minute tape. I often pop it (or other Rodney Yee 20-minute beginner tapes) into the VCR as I'm struggle to wake up in the morning. Nothing like forward bends to get the blood to rush to my head and it's really challenging to work through all the morning stiffness. I feel energized all day and I think I stand straighter too.Movie Review: Good basic yoga practice
Summary: 4 Stars
After doing this video every morning for several weeks, I could notice I could do more challenging workouts, because I was more flexible, and my body could resist more challenging moves. I think it's a good base for the start of yoga practice and for stretching your body in preparation to any other workout. Then you can move on to something more challenging.Movie Review: Great to Increase Flexibility
Summary: 5 Stars
This video may be too challenging for a very first yoga tape, but after a few times through it, I noticed increased flexibility--something I thought impossible for me. It is about 25 minutes which is what I like best about this tape. I can do this in the morning before work, and I feel energized and ready to go for the day. I really like all of the Rodney Yee tapes I have tried, and highly recommend this one.
