Not Just for Beginners!
on October 3, 2011
Posted by: BlueMonday

I have been practicing yoga for years, but find the pose guide to be invaluable. It is so easy to get into bad habits in different asanas and stances, especially if you only have a DVD teacher. (And Rodney Yee is a terrific DVD teacher, no question!) The pose training is a nice slow workout on its own. Both Rodney and Colleen Saidman show the common mistakes and then how to correct them. I feel as if I am in a master class, not a beginning class, with this DVD
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this DVD

I truly enjoy this DVD and sincerely hope Rodney and Colleen do more of these very basic beginners DVDs. What is really great about Yoga for Beginners is that the teachers go through step by step on properly aligning your body for a pose. I have done home yoga for years, but have never truly understood where I was going wrong in some of the basic poses. Therefore, I have spent several classes on just doing the first part of the DVD to relearn yoga. I also like the other programs in the DVD's. The instructors' gentle voices and happy faces really make me relax and enjoy the poses with or without instruction or with inspiration narratives. The sections aren't too long and thus can be done in minutes, but I usually choose to do both sections for a good workout. I might point out I have fibromyalgia and lower back disk problems. I feel great after this DVD. Thank you for this DVD. Good job!!

As we are adding Yoga to our regular workouts, this video has helped us to understand the exact movements so as I do Yoga, I know I am doing the movements correctly. I am feeling better and have more energy.

Perfect for beginners

I know nothing about Yoga. Lets just say I have Netflix and I rented many other Yoga videos before I got to this one. This is the best yoga video out there for beginners so worth the money and time. I love it! It takes you step by step and you get to pick which position you want instruction on and if you dont need instruction you get to pick what kind of workout you want. I love that its so flexible and instructional not just a gimmick to make money this is a REAL YOGA INSTRUCTOR its like having a teacher in your own home

Rodney Yee Yoga for Beginners
on May 6, 2010

I am enjoying using this DVD, but I wish it showed how to use a yoga strap and blocks for those poses that I'm not currently flexible enough to do! I liked the instruction included for many of the poses regarding breathing, and also the "what not to do" parts.

Years ago I tried yoga and felt like it wasn't doing anything for me. Now that I am 57, my muscles are becoming less flexible. Using Yoga for Beginners makes me feel like I'm getting incredible results; my muscles more flexible and relaxed. The instructions anticipate incorrect incorrect poses by telling what most people do wrong. It helps to perfect the pose and get the most out of it. I think it's great!
