Certified instructor description: Not your standard yoga workout, this relaxation-focused program includes both seated and standing moves. You can follow the entire series or just use the exercises to de-stress your everyday life (e.g. seated at your computer, standing in your home). The chair-based segment features “real” yoga cuing and “real” yoga movements (e.g. Mountain Pose — you’re sitting down but your feet are still grounded and your alignment is still the same). The standing section includes balance, posture and lots of deep-muscle stretching routines. It all ends with a super-relaxing guided meditation. Excellent production, tranquil setting and quiet cuing by Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman. ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

Smart Start Yoga with Rodney Yee & Colleen Saidman

It was ok

The video was ok. I've had better videos by Rodney before. It seemed a bit too easy for me. - posted by Kirsten on 1/30/2011

Good video despite tech glitches

This video has found a place in my yoga rotation because of one simple thing: You can do the gentle standing portion without changing into yoga clothes. Great for busy days! However, I was disappointed in the technical quality of the video--the audio and video are not synchronized properly. Puzzling and annoying for someone of Rodney Yee's stature. - posted by Maggie on 1/4/2011

For Novice's Only

I was very disappointed in this video. Although it is described as a beginner level, I felt it was more of a "sit and be fit" video for seniors. I am 55 years old and would describe my yoga level as intermediate, but I still felt this video was way, way to easy. The description would have been more helpful to me if it had been described as yoga stretches because I did not feel that it was really a yoga workout. I have Rodney Yee's meditation video and the chair poses are much more challenging. This video is more for a novice (one step below beginner). - posted by Robin on 9/15/2010

loved this!

I am resuming yoga practice after many years; this dvd is a good way to get back to it again. I clean houses, drive a school bus route, so I need to work on the sore places, knots, tensions and fatigue from a day's work! The moves are easy to follow and the helps with the poses by either partner for the other, is good! I wish there was a break between the chair poses and the standing poses, sometimes I may not want to do both. I recommend this dvd. - posted by vanessa walters on 6/5/2010

Rodney is always good!

We really like this DVD. My husband has serious arthritis and felt so straight and tall after doing the work out. I would rate it more beginner/intermediate. Could be done anywhere, just as it says. I wish they had divided the work outs instead of running sitting and standing all together. - posted by Debbie on 9/1/2009

Comments:

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.
