I absolutely love this video. I am a big fan of Rodney Yee. I really enjoyed the way the video is organized by different yoga poses. Breaking down the poses into twists, forward bends, back bends, etc, is awesome!!! I wake up every morning early in order to get this video in before work. It is the only thing that has ever gotten me up early :) Plus the length of the video is perfect.
I primarily use the AM portion of this and not always in the morning. I find it refreshing anytime. I first got it on video years ago and have tried a lot of different yoga tapes and dvds and it's still my favorite and I always go back to it and just gifted myself the DVD version. I like the new DVD format where you can choose which portions of the routine you want at any given time; whether it's the yoga or the meditation or both.
I loved this DVD so much I bought extra copies for friends, it is a truly a "must have". Patricia Walden and Rodney Yee guide you through the practice clearly and concisely. The level of difficulty was just right and poses very appropriate for the time of day advocated. You will not be disappointed with this DVD.
I love this DVD. I've enjoyed doing yoga now for 12 years, and after trying countless different DVDs, these AM/PM routines still remain a staple in my practice. The routines are simple, but quite effective -- and at just 20 minutes each, they are easy to fit into a busy day's schedule. I highly recommend this DVD!
If I were stuck on a desert island with only one yoga video, this would be it. Ha. :) PM Yoga simply is the best way to wind down and get ready for bed, especially after a stressful day. I think it is appropriate for all levels - while Patricia demonstrates "completed" poses, she explains each pose in such a way that it is easy to adjust for your own body. This video was my first exposure to yoga, borrowed from a friend around 10 years ago. I did it every night, and after just one month, I was amazed at how much flexibility I gained without pushing myself. This was a beginning of a serious lifestyle change for me. Eventually, I had to give the tape back to my friend - I'm so glad I have it now on DVD!
The description on the website says AM PM Yoga for Beginners, but the actual product does not say it is for beginners. I found the PM stretches too hard - my body just doesn't move this way! And there were no alternatives for those of us who can't make the moves. I'm going to return this for something more my level.
I had this in VHS until my tapes broke. I love this workout to start my day and end my day and couldn't wait to get it in DVD. I feel stronger when doing these simple stretches. Worth every penny.
This was my very first Yoga video and I love/loved it! Its a great SHORT yoga workout to get you relaxed or get you going in the morning! I love combining it with cardio or pilates! If you are a beginner or just want a little taste of yoga everyday, I would recommend this!
