Summary: Perfect for Beginners!
Comment: This was my very first yoga DVD and it still remains one of my favorites as I have become more advanced. The evening routine is the perfect winding down routine while the morning routine is great for helping you wake up and stretch! I keep this dvd in my rotation as sometimes a 20 minutes relaxing routine is what I want to do. It is a great introductory yoga dvd and I have since reccomended it to my mother (in her late 40's) who also loves it. This is a great dvd for anyone who wants to learn yoga and has a busy lifestyle (as each segment is only 20 minutes), but it is also great for those who already practice!

Summary: Best AM Yoga
Comment: I've been doing this 15 minute yoga routine first thing daily since I was introduced to it 3 years ago by a friend. It is short but includes quite a few poses and is a good start to the day. The PM portion is too difficult for me but the DVD is worth it for the AM portion alone. I've gotten many others to use it too and they feel the same.

Summary: AM/PM Yoga
Comment: I have used this yoga DVD for a number of years and for some reason it just would no longer play in any of our DVD players. I just knew amazon.com would have it and would get it to me in the quickest way possible. As ALWAYS I was pleased with not only the product but the consistent outstanding service.

Summary: Review of AM / PM Yoga
Comment: "AM / PM Yoga" is one of at least ten yoga videos that I own and I have recommended it to more people than I can remember. I still even have the VHS, have bought and given away several DVD's, and finally decided to keep one for myself! I use this DVD often even though I have more advanced yoga videos or take outside yoga classes, because I particularly enjoy Rodney Yee's style of instruction which is guides the user very gently and slowly. Although I am not a physician or chiropractor by profession, I have sustained injuries, but I very much like Rodney Yee's style of instruction. It is great for someone who is just learning yoga, not accustomed to exercising frequently, or recovering from injury. This is also a great DVD for traveling or for someone who has a busy lifestyle - but wants to ensure that regular exercise is a part of his/her lifestyle and daily practice. There is just enough time to understand the practice, wake up those muscles and introduce you to yoga. It's very soothing and relaxing. I use the AM Yoga portion of it more than the PM, again because I like Rodney Yee's style of instruction compared to some of the other yoga DVD's that I have. I've bought several other DVD's with Rodney Yee, which are for a more advanced user, but this is great for the beginner or someone who practices infrequently. This is also very conducive for home use where there is no intructor to help physically with poses. One caveat for the beginner is to be careful holding some of the poses when you're doing it at home (or while traveling) and on your own. But do enjoy it and make it a part of your daily routine!

Editorial Reviews:

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
