Product Description

From Amazon.com

"Meditation is a time-honored practice that reduces stress and revitalizes the body, mind, and spirit," explains Rodney Yee, instructor for Yoga Journal's Yoga Practice for Meditation. "Meditation is awareness of posture, ease of breath, and attentiveness of the mind." In this beautiful video, Yee quietly and expertly leads you through five yoga practices that release bodily tension, improve posture, and open up breathing. The setting is grand and gorgeous Yosemite National Park, where Yee demonstrates poses in a meadow flanked by trees and cliffs, or at the edge of a lake or waterfall. The rewards of meditation are "living more calmly, more fully, with strength and grace," promises Yee. The practice is divided into five segments: Mountain, a series that moves from pose to pose, used for making the transition from daily activities to a sitting meditation (12 minutes); Garden, gentle movements done in a chair that open the hips and stretch the back (10 minutes); Tree, four sitting poses, using props to modify the poses to your personal flexibility level (10 minutes); Wind, with the focus on the movement of breath, releasing tension, and relaxing deeply (10 minutes); Sky, a meditation focusing on posture and breath, and "inviting the mind into the present moment, time and time again" (8 minutes). --Joan Price

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed, Sep 23 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Practice - Meditation - Vhs (VHS Tape)

I was reluctant to try something that involved meditation, because I'm more interested in flexibility and posture than meditation. But this has been an excellent introduction to getting comfortable with yoga, and I am now dedicated to branching out into more challenging tapes. Because the emphasis is on breathing properly and relaxing deeply, my body actually feels better in a totally new way: like I worked out at the gym, but without strain and with only the flush of circulation and relaxation. Yee is an excellent teacher and speaker: after several viewings, his voice is still calming and the settings are still beautiful (Yosemite Park) -- not that I see them, because my eyes are closed most of the time. Only one session requires a block to sit on, but I am now dedicated to practicing yoga regularly enough that I made the investment in one. For someone looking to "get started" with yoga at home without strain, this is the perfect tape.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect start to building a meditation yoga practice, Jan 29 2004

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Practice - Meditation - Vhs (VHS Tape)

In this video, master yoga instructor Rodney Yee guides the viewer through gentle yoga poses designed to allow you to focus your attention inward. The practice is divided into 5 segments:

1) Mountain. Rodney describes this as a "quiet flow series," and it contains about 12 minutes of simple stretches to warm up the body.
2) Garden. This 13-minute section focuses mainly on hip opening postures such as twists and forward bends performed while sitting on a chair.
3) Tree. In this section, Rodney spends 10 minutes reviewing 4 basic seating postures used for meditation: cobbler, hero, sage, and lotus. Each pose is practiced with and without a block for variation.
4) Wind. The purpose of this section is to concentrate on breath while in reclining postures; 10 minutes.
5) Sky. In this final 8-minute section, Rodney leads you through a seated meditation. His soothing voiceover instruction reminds you to turn your attention inward and to focus on your breathing.

Although I tend to concentrate on postures rather than meditation in my own yoga practice, I found this video to be enjoyable and restorative. I particularly liked the third section, as Rodney's breathing instruction helped me to really feel a tingling sense of deeper relaxation in my body. Rodney is an excellent instructor; his beautiful form while practicing is a perfect compliment to the gorgeous background scenery. This video would work well for anyone looking to add the benefits of meditation to their yoga practice without having to simply sit quietly in a lotus position.

This tape is awesome. He goes at a good speed and it's not too difficult. Great for beginners. I've never done anything like this. It leaves you feeling good. I have a really hard time winding down and this is a huge help! Check it out. You'll be happy you did.
