5.0 out of 5 stars If I could give this more stars, I would!, August 28, 2010

This review is from: Ultimate Power Yoga (DVD)

I have many yoga dvd's (several by Rodney Yee) and I would have to say this is probably the best of all of them! There are 5 different workouts on this, each with a different emphasis (core, back, all over strength, sculpting, and relaxation) and they are all very effective in doing exactly what they have been described to do. I think this is a good workout for all levels, since he explains things so calmly and well, although a basic understanding of the poses is always the best thing. As those of you who have his dvd's, you know you don't need to be looking at the tv screen to see what he is doing. I feel this is almost a better all around workout than his Power Yoga Total Body workout. Rodney is one of the best yoga instructors and I believe you can't go wrong with this purchase!!

5.0 out of 5 stars really, really great, September 22, 2010

This review is from: Ultimate Power Yoga (DVD)

I've been practicing Rodney Yee's yoga dvd's for a few years now, and I had to praise this new addition. Initially, I had imagined that this yoga practice would be similar to Power Yoga - Total Body Workout. To me, that dvd feels more like a sprint where Ultimate Power Yoga feels more like a marathon. This is probably because I do all 5 sections in sequence for a 90 minute practice. Certainly, you could pick and choose and vary your workout as desired. Being able to customize the practice (and enjoy a 90 minute workout on 1 dvd) completely fulfills my needs. I have to say, the workout is different for me than any other. Rodney has really improved with age. The transitions are very intuitive and the sequences are solid. I would say that anyone could benefit from this dvd, regardless of their level. Yes, beginning practitioners will need to work up to the backbend series, but there is much to be gained here. I am happy to report that this dvd really infused my yoga with new vitality and mindfulness. After I practice this, I feel more aware of my body than ever before. I also feel incredibly strong, both physically and mentally, and renewed and relaxed. If you enjoy Rodney's wonderful teaching style, you will find this a really great addition to your yoga practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars Next level up from AM for your week, October 20, 2010

This review is from: Ultimate Power Yoga (DVD)

For those familiar with the AM for your week yoga DVD by Rodney Yee, you are in luck as I would say that this DVD is the next step up. There are 5 routines. They are faster, quicker and a little more demanding. I would say it is for experienced beginners and up. You need to know the poses and be able to move in and out of them quickly and correctly. The reason for only 4 stars is that there is no warm up sequence and this is absolutely needed for these routines. A minor niggle is there is no rest pose aside from where it is part of two sessions. Although the cueing may seem a little out of step with what is seen on the DVD it is very minor and does not stop your flow. I think that Rodney and his manner and presentation is brilliant and I would recommend this DVD.
