A.M. Yoga for Beginners
"The morning is a precious time," says the narrator of A.M. Yoga for Beginners. "Just as the sun rises and falls, so do our natural rhythms. The morning is perfect time to open our bodies and center our minds." This 20-minute yoga practice with supple instructor Rodney Yee is the perfect way to start your day by energizing your body and calming your mind. Filmed on the beach at Maui at sunrise, the video starts with a 4-minute Conscious Relaxation focusing on breathing, then glides into a 14-minute series of yoga poses that are simultaneously relaxing and energizing. It ends with a 2-minute seated Guided Meditation to center your body and mind. Yee's instruction is detailed and gentle. The video is beautifully filmed: you watch the waves roll in as Yee demonstrates yoga poses on a sandy beach. The yoga practice awakens and stretches your muscles gently, leaving you balanced and focused. "Yoga is the foundation of my day," says Yee. "A few minutes in the morning will help give meaning to your day." --Joan Price P.M. Yoga for Beginners
"The evening is the perfect time to calmly transition between being active and being quiet," says Patricia Walden, instructor of P.M. Yoga for Beginners. "One of the greatest gifts yoga has to offer is deep relaxation." This 20-minute program is designed to balance, calm, and revitalize you at the end of the day. It starts with centering poses: gentle stretches bringing awareness and quiet to your senses. Next are standing poses to release tension, increase circulation, expand the lungs, and help you breathe more deeply. Next, forward bends cool the body and bring quiet to the nervous system. The final restorative poses are so relaxing that you may fall asleep. Walden tells you not only how to do the poses, but what you should feel, and how to quiet your body and your mind. Instruction is soothing and explicit. Although this video is aimed at beginners, seldom are modifications given for the less flexible novice, so if any pose causes discomfort or seems impossible, don't push beyond your personal comfort level. The video was filmed on the windswept sands of Death Valley. --Joan Price

 A Yoga Practice February 17, 2010
Old Rose (New Jersey)
I love this video because its just the right length for a busy morning. Over the years I've changed some of the poses to what suits me better, but its a great way to start the day.

This is not the first copy of this DVD I have owned as I have passed it along to many family and friends. It is simple, easy and takes little time - great for beginners!

i like this dvd-
the morning yoga routine feels like it's only about 15 minutes at the most. this works well for me, as i am not much of a "morning person", but i feel like it is a short enough routine to fit into the start of my day- the stretches are nice, calm and relatively gentle. it is a nice way to get centered in the morning.
the p.m. routine is a bit longer and the poses take a bit more effort.
i am able to do up to intermediate levels of yoga, but this is quite 'beginner' and i like it.
one thing i'd like to make note of for people is a word about props: the morning routine calls for a strap, to hook around the foot then the leg is extended up into the air. (i used the strap from my bath robe :)
and then the evening routine suggests that IF YOU ARE RATHER STIFF or not really flexible in some areas, you may want to have a couple blocks as well as a good-sized folded up blanket handy.
of course, these things are not necessary, as you can modify the pose a bit- your body will always tell you what is appropriate for you!
the scenery and the music is very pleasant. overall, it's a couple of good 'lil beginner routines.

I love this morning routine with Rodney Yee. I am 64 and I've done this routine for years with my VCR but since they are becoming obsolete, I had to get a DVD. The conscious relaxation he teaches has become a part of my life...a true blessing in the dentist chair and sitting in a traffic jam. The stretching helps to keep me limber, add that to the relaxing and my day starts in a peaceful frame of mind stretched and ready to get down and play on the floor with my little boy for whom I nanny. Rodney's voice totally helps set the mood. For those that complained they couldn't keep up I was totally puzzled. You should do as suggested...watch the tape before trying to do it.
I'm not certain why I don't care for the evening one but I don't. I donated it to Goodwill.
Short, but relaxing November 12, 2009
IzziGirl (Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina)
This DVD is great, but it doesn't offer a lot for the money. The AM routine is very soothing and short-- about ten minutes. It's beautifully shot and the music is relaxing, and the poses are very simple. I actually like this better at night.
The PM program is longer-- about 25 minutes. It's also a little more energetic than the morning version, and includes more standing poses. It's also beautifully shot with relaxing music.
While each segment is very nice, it's not a lot for the money. Other DVDs out there will give you more options and variety on a single disc.
