Product Description

From Amazon.com

This Yoga Journal DVD combines two workout programs, "Yoga Practice for Relaxation" and "Yoga Practice for Meditation."

"Yoga Practice for Relaxation" helps stress slide away with restorative yoga poses that replenish your body's energy and rejuvenate your spirit. With these poses you're not working your body, but "undoing, allowing nature to restore you ... [and] the healing powers of yoga to reveal themselves to you," explains Patricia Walden, who teaches the first 30-minute session of resting poses. Your body is supported by props, such as folded blankets, a bolster, or a wall, so the stretches are not intense. The second 30-minute session, taught by Rodney Yee, emphasizes forward bends, often done seated on the floor in various positions, with your forehead and arms resting on a chair for support.

In Yoga Practice for Meditation, Rodney explains, "Meditation is awareness of posture, ease of breath, and attentiveness of the mind." Yee quietly and expertly leads you through five yoga practices that release bodily tension, improve posture, and open up breathing in the gorgeous setting of Yosemite National Park. 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 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, a series with a focus on breathing, 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

4.0 out of 5 stars good warm-up for zen sitting, Nov 30 2002

This review is from: Yj: Relaxation/Meditation - Yo (DVD)
If you are deepening your meditation, and longer sitting is required, then try the Rodney Yee yoga techniques. They will loosen the thighs, hips and lower back considerably. A zen practioner's various lotus positions will greatly benefit from Yee's wholistic approach. He manages to stretch muscles and tendons in subtle and profound ways. Give this DVD a try when you're in need of some strengthening before sitting for the longer spells.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not their best work...., Nov 20 2002
This review is from: Yj: Relaxation/Meditation - Yo (DVD)
This is the yoga session that they always recommend women who are menstruating should use whenever you turn on any living arts tape, but it's dreadful for any time of the month. Patricia Walden's session gave me the worst back ache in the world, because the session is out of balance ... to many postures bending in one direction and none in the opposite direction.

The 1 star is for the Rodney Yee session which isn't as bad as the first one, but it is so advanced you won't believe they put it on there.

I don't understand why these two sessions are sold together, or why they are being sold at all. Don't waste your money on a tape you may never use again.

Instead of this one, I would highly recommend "Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss" with Suzanne Deason, "Yoga Conditioning for Athletes" with Rodney Yee, "Back Care Yoga for Beginners" with Rodney Yee, "A.M Yoga for Beginners" with Rodney Yee, P.M. Yoga for Beginners" with Suzanne Deason, "Stress Relief Yoga for Beginners" with Patricia Walden & "Yoga Journal's Yoga for Meditation" with Rodney Yee which has 5 beautiful sessions with him all one tape which are filmed at the foot of a snow peaked mountain top.

3.0 out of 5 stars No advantage over VHS version, Oct 18 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Yj: Relaxation/Meditation - Yo (DVD)
I bought the DVD so I could click right to the part I wanted. It isn't set up that way. GAIAM merely transferred the VHS tape to DVD without putting in any chapters so I have to fast forward to get to the part I want, just like in the VHS version. In addition, the quality of the picture is not as crisp as DVD movies I watch. Great scenery of Yosemite (the other reason I bought it), but otherwise if you have the VHS version, don't get this one.
