3.0 out of 5 stars
frustration for the novice, not relaxation, December 5, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Relaxation and Breathing for Meditation [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I like the format of a yoga video filmed out in the desert and I found the gentle music with Rodney's voice is very soothing. The first few poses were easy to follow and relaxing. However, as a novice yoga student, I was totally frustrated trying to follow his rapid directions on how to use the necessary props for some of the later poses and how to get into them, particularly because I couldn't even see from the video the exact prescribed shape and position of the pillow, blankets and bolster he was using and I don't happen to have 2 extra blankets, a bolster, a huge pillow and a strap just sitting around my apartment. What the heck is a bolster, anyway? By the 4th pose all vestiges of my earlier relaxation had gone. There must be some less frustrating way to relax.

this one's a keeper!, August 29, 2001
This review is from: Relaxation and Breathing for Meditation [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I love this video! I have incorporated the breathing
techniques I learned into my daily routines. It is a
real bonus at work when stress with people and job
occurs. I feel more relaxed and calm than before.
The hardest part is simply remembering to breathe when
tense situations arise, but I am improving.
My favorite thing to start my days off is to do a
nice joga workout , then to do the whole breath
and relaxation video. By the way, Rodney Yee has very
little accent, if any. He is very easy to understand.
His voice is so very soothing, it makes the video
all the more effective. My thanks to him.

Best relaxation tool I've found, March 28, 2003
This review is from: Relaxation and Breathing for Meditation [VHS] (VHS Tape)
With Rodney's video, I can relax no matter how stressed I am. I've used his video during a time when I was overwhelmed by many things going on in my life and I was able to find an oasis of peace.
