The Practical Power Of Yoga Review
UpTooLateReadingBook's 1/29/09, Christa Debarros 1/13/09 & Gitma's 1/12/09 reviews are great. This is a mostly lecture, but part teaching/demonstration of yoga poses. The reasons why people do it, the misconceptions, the mind/body union, the doing less is more, the giving yourself permission to relax will help everyone (it's not a sin), to do yoga to wake up instead of coffee, to prevent/heal backaches & even prostate issues & more.
There are some stories, but mostly they stick to the why's & basic teaching. It's an hour with a 20 min bonus of more poses.
They have the audience participate either using the floor/mats or sitting in a chair doing mountain, sun salutations, cobbler's, cobra, triangle, half moon, camel and relaxation or savasana and meditation.
Normally I get bored very easily, but because Rodney Yee & Colleen Saidman practice being in the now with energy, I wasn't at all, and the program moved at nice fast pace, and was over before I knew it.
This is for people who never tried yoga, or beginners for the most part, but even with the hundred? of yoga dvds I've bought/rented in the past 6 years, and a couple of yoga classes I took, I did learn to put more emphasis in using the upper back in my back bends as well as making sure the legs stay straight & not allow my hips to pull forward to give a fake feeling I'm bending more which puts pressure on the lower back. Also, to always ground with the feet, even in seated poses.
I only wish they spent longer in the teaching of each pose, but that's because I'm so detailed oriented, and probably wished this was three hours long.

Worst Yoga DVD ever! - Alden Frostad -
My mother in law bought me this because the lady at B&N said it was one of the best. How wrong could she be. This DVD goes through only about a 1/2 dozen of the most basic of basic yoga moves. Maybe if you have never heard of yoga or just arrived from another planet will you find something useful on it, but I spent an agonizingly long time watching this hoping there would be something, but alas nothing. Don't waste your money. Colleen is nice to look at for a woman of her age (and the one hot brunette in the audience), but hey; lets face it, that is not why your buying a yoga DVD.
A Seminar On Yoga - A Slow-Moving But Interesting Introduction To Yoga - Bold Consumer - USA
I watched it and followed the instructions, even though I am not at the beginner level. It's actually not bad as an introduction to yoga.
Will you watch it more than a couple of times? Some will probably find that it is a very non-threatening approach to exercise which finally gets them moving. Most of us will probably enjoy watching it and learning from it once and then move on to something that moves faster.
It's funny that I say something that moves faster when I'm always looking for slow-moving yoga practice, but this one moves a little slower than you'll want as a regular routine. It's great for a starter though.
Not a "work out" DVD per se, but nevertheless enlightening - Free Falling - Paradise
I think that this is an important DVD to watch. It definitely gives you a wonderful overview of Rodney Yee's mindset and how he approaches yoga, both physically and mentally. Rodney and his wife Colleen are great to watch together (she seems to make him very humble and light, which is sweet). It really helped me to see yoga as so much more beautiful and enjoyable and way less scary. If you are a beginner I recommend watching this and if you are an advanced student it is a nice reminder of all that yoga has to offer besides the physical benefits.
