Certified instructor description: A two-workout DVD with some unique features — a superb tutorial and a choice of audio tracks. The “pose guide” is exceptionally detailed. Rodney and Colleen Saidman show you the exact positions and movements for 20 classic yoga poses (do you really know how to do a proper sun salutation?). Those poses are then used in two easy-to-follow workouts: Rodney’s “energizing” program and Colleen’s “rejuvenating” program. Besides the normal, full-instruction audio track, you get two additional options. “Pose only” avoids distractions with limited cuing, while “inspirational” focuses on your mental attitude (e.g. mountain pose: “think about a strong, steady, majestic mountain”). Filmed in a beautiful oceanside setting. ©2009. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Rodney Yee's Yoga for Beginners
Good basics
I was looking for an instructional video that would give me a good foundation of the yoga basics and this fit the bill. Not sure how often I will pull it into my rotation but it served its purpose. - posted by Victoria on 2/9/2012

Excellent Instruction.
Excellent instruction. I actually hurt my back from doing poses incorrectly. This tape helped me to continue my yoga poses pain free and is helping me strengthen my back. - posted by Rmiller on 12/15/2011

Bad videography
The camera angle changes constantly. It made it impossible to follow for a beginner. This is Gaiam - Not Rodney Yees wrong doing. - posted by Lisa on 12/13/2011

very important
This dvd is very important for me, because it teaches how to do the moves. Some I have been doing wrong for years. I should have seen this years ago! - posted by Karen on 11/3/2011

The Details Matter
I found the instruction to be especially effective. Very clearly stated and demonstrated. I have limitations due to back problems but could easily recognize what moves I could do and do correctly. I felt rejuvenated in a completely different way from my usual aerobics and muscle toning. I've done yoga in the past and was glad I got back into it with this dvd. - posted by Cathy on 10/13/2011

very good video
The pose guide was excellent. The workouts are easy to follow. The only negative thing was in the first workout, the transition into warrior one was very awkward because Rodney has you set your feet after you have already raised your arms. I set my feet first, and it works out much better after that. - posted by Cathie on 10/13/2011

Good for beginners
I like Rodney Yee's style of not spending too much time on involved instructions. I am a real beginner. I use both of these workouts in the evenings after work and they are both relaxing and energizing. - posted by Vicki on 9/15/2011

Excellent Video
This video is extremely well done and great quality. Particularly helpful is the specific instructions on which parts of the body to move, how to breath, etc., so that one gets the most out of the exercises. One of the best I've experienced. I will definitely consider his videos first when shopping again. - posted by Gayle on 6/30/2011

Great Introduction to Yoga
I found these routines comprehensible and doable. I can do these poses and find them relaxing and mildly challenging. Rodney and Colleen know how to engage you and gently guide you into a yoga sequence that is calming and is mildly challenging. I feel much better about yoga and myself. - posted by Juli on 6/9/2011

Great Program for Basic Instruction
I bought AM/PM Yoga first and loved it! I wanted some instruction to make sure that I was doing the poses correctly. This fit the bill exactly The two programs (each about 15-20 minutes) are wonderful, relaxing, invigorating. I am using this video in the morning before getting ready for work. Just one segment or the other is enough to get me stretched out and ready for the day. I would a) recommend this to a friend and b) buy this again. - posted by dschad2001 on 3/27/2011

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.

Definition: A flowing series of movements and "poses." Includes yoga and power yoga (a more intense yoga variation). Both types have a strong emphasis on breath, body awareness and mental focus.
