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

I like the A.M. DVD in the P.M. September 8, 2010
Annabella Gualdoni (Newton, MA USA)
I like Patricia Walden and generally like the p.m. DVD, but years ago when I first got the DVD I didn't have all of the props (which I do need) and found her segment frustrating since I didn't feel like I had everything I needed to properly do it.
The Rodney Yee DVD is excellent. Even now after years of doing yoga I get a lot out of his practice. I actually find that I really like to do his sequence (particularly the last 1/2 of it) in the evening. It really relaxes me before bed, and I find that I am able to fall asleep immediately after doing it and get a restful night's sleep.
 Lasting Impression September 1, 2010
Chad Hoffmeyer
My roommate back in college had this DVD and I used it every morning and night. After moving out I kept wishing I had "accidently" packed it up. I had the hardest time finding this movie in everyday stores and was so excited to finally find it on Amazon. Great for a quick jumpstart to your day and a nice relaxing step to your night. I hate working out and so this DVD gives me a bit of a challenge. I mostly love it for stretching my muscles out before I go to bed!
Love the AM! August 27, 2010
Julie (Michigan, USA)
I absolutely LOVE the AM yoga routine. It is very easy, and it's great for beginners. It does exactly as it says it will: wakes you up to be ready for the day while keeping you relaxed. This is also great for me because it helps me to be less anxious throughout the day. It may not be descriptive enough, but I recommend actually watching ANY follow-along fitness video before trying to do it. That way you aren't staring at the tv while trying to touch your toes.
I didn't really care for the PM yoga routine, it didn't seem to flow as well for me. It was much worse than the AM for giving detailed directions.
I loved the AM so much, I'd recommend you buy it for that alone. This is great paired with Rodney Yee's "Yoga for Beginners".
Awesome Beginner, Low Impact Yoga August 26, 2010
Kathryn Mahoney (Milford, MA)
I love this DVD, especially the AM yoga. Rodney Yee is a great instructor. You know what he's asking you to do so you don't have to guess what position he's trying to get you to position yourself in.

DVD came quickly and I'm really enjoying it. Yogo is great and having a DVD gets me doing it.
