Relaxation & Breathing for Meditation <b>DVD</b> ~ Gaiam: Meditation/Rodney Yee

4.0 out of 5 stars Very relaxing..., July 17 2004
This is a great DVD if you're looking for deep relaxation and some breathwork. Rodney Yee has a soothing voice, is very knowledgeable, and provides good imagery to help you get in touch with your breath. The DVD is broken into 2 segments, one with relaxing yoga poses and one with breathwork, which is nice if you don't have a ton of time to practice or want to work specifically on one or the other.

1.0 out of 5 stars not worth the money..., July 7 2004
This DVD is so hokey and cheesy that it's hard to glean any of the valuable information (of which there is some, but not much) that's buried beneath its overly new-agey packaging.

Core Power-Power Vinyasa Yoga <b>DVD</b> ~ Baron Baptiste
Core Power-Power Vinyasa Yoga DVD ~ Baron Baptiste
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome quick practice, Jun 22 2004
This DVD is great is you need to squeeze in a quick, effective 30-minute practice. Baron Baptiste is a great motivator, and he gets right to the essentials in this workout for your abs and back. I have tons of yoga DVDs that I never use, but I use this one at least once a week. A good investment.
