Outstanding guded relaxation and breathing for stress release. With a home BP monitor my blood pressure can be reduced from 20 to 40 points after using this DVD. I start at the Relaxation Pose (prone position) and continue on to all of the breathing exercises for a great 40 minutes of relaxation. I know nothing of Yoga and there are no cross legged positions in this, though Rodney Yee does use them, they are not a part of the routines. The person who said there are no sub menus must be referring to the VHS tape (which I have) because the DVD has an excellent series of menus and sub menus and you can start exactly where you want. Have no difficulty with focus as another reviewer does, besides, once you've run through the DVD once for a visual, you have your eyes closed all the time anyway.

This is a great DVD if you're looking for deep relaxation and some breathwork. Rodney Yee has a soothing voice, is very knowledgeable, and provides good imagery to help you get in touch with your breath. The DVD is broken into 2 segments, one with relaxing yoga poses and one with breathwork, which is nice if you don't have a ton of time to practice or want to work specifically on one or the other.

This is a wonderful practice. You have your choice of three different relaxation techniques and three different breathing practices. You can do individually or mix them. I had previously said there were no submenus on this DVD (I was referring to a different Yee DVD). This one is lovely. The menu choices are exceptional! Other people producing DVDs could learn from this example. This is well worth the money and you can use this practice over and over again to gain insight into your own being. Enjoy!

See my other dvd reviews on amazon. thanks!

In my humble estimation, this is one of the best of Rodney Yee. Be ye new to Yoga or just initiating your SEARCH, this quality produced dvd will provide you with a great intro to meditation and breath work.

Rodney will easily guide you through the process and belive me this is one powerful experience. If there ever was an ANSWER to "today's world situation" the practice of yoga, breath work and meditation will certainly point you in the right direction and hopefully a "path to spiritual, emotional and even physical health".

This is one of the best ....

I purchased this DVD because I was looking for something to help me with recovery after surgery. It has great breathing techniques for relaxation, and some very simple yoga poses. I am a big fan of Rodney Yee already, so if you aren't a fan, this might not be for you. But I have found it very helpful with relief of anxiety and stress as well. Easy for anyone to use, regardless of physical condition.

I needed to find something to help me deal with the changes in my life and the added stress I was accumulating. I feel a lot more calm, not so quick to stress out over things and genuinally feel better about life and myself. This combined with yoga has worked well for me.

I'm not sure if it's just my copy of the DVD, but the video quality is rather poor. Slightly out of focus in general and extremely blurry in many areas. But since I don't really look at the screen as I follow along with my practise, it only really bothered me the first time I watched it all the way through. Content-wise, it's really excellent and I found it very easy to follow with clear explanations at every step.

Excellent relaxation tool. I have a painfull illness and need to find ways to relax and meditate as I am restricted in my physical activities. I would highly recommend this to use a way to relax your body and your mind and release the pressures of the day.

Great to use for relaxing. Also helps me thru my pain.

I think I was expecting something a little slower and with more explainations. Rodney is very good at what he does, but I have used a few of his DVD's and noticed that he does stuff a little faster than I like. When I look for "beginner" instruction, this doesn't exactly fit my description. Maybe I'm just dumb...
