 Very Oddly Organized November 29, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The workout/yoga segments in this DVD are organized in a way that is very odd (and not very good). From the Main Menu, you can choose: Standing Poses OR Twisting poses OR back-bends, etc. Each segment lasts about 20 minutes. To go from one 20-minute segment to another, you have to go back to main menu and select a different set of poses.
There is no "combined workout" or option to do an integrated workout/session. There are also no segments longer than 20 minutes. So if you want some variety and/or a longer session, this DVD will not really help you. I found this approach to organizing the sessions to be very odd, and not conducive to a well-rounded, seamless morning workout.
If I had know this was how they did this DVD, I would not have bought it, and unfortunately, I cannot say I recommend this DVD.
 AM Yoga - First Timer November 29, 2008
I am new to yoga. After four weeks using this DVD each day, I feel AMAZING! I look forward to it each morning, and if I miss it in the morning I hurry home from work and do it at night instead. I am buying yoga sets and this DVD for all my friends for Christmas. 20-25 minutes is just the right amount of time for me. However, I don't have much to compare it to other than some hour long BORING classes at the gym.
 Effective November 10, 2008
I got this DVD as a gift. At first I wasn't very excited about it. I usually do longer yoga DVD's in the morning. I feel guilty when I do my 35 minute routine instead of my 50 minute routine, I was concerned that the 20 minute Rodney Yee routine wouldn't be enough. But I do yoga every morning and I also do aerobic at night. So some mornings I am fatigued and I need to do a shorter routine. These are perfect. I alternate between the routines and I am always so surprised that I get the kind of work out I do in twenty minutes. The routines are slow and Rodney Yee's voice is very soothing. You relax yourself into these stretches and you don't even realize that you are working as hard as you are. When you finish you can really feel the limberness and strech from the routine.
The scenery is beautiful, The voice over is soothing and easy to understand and it gives you plenty of warning before you change positions, The routines are not difficult, but they are effective. I would reccomend this as a good addition to other routines that you already do. I would not use this as my only source of exercise.
Great Yoga for Not Too Much Time October 28, 2008

I have been looking for a yoga workout that was under an hour to fit in with my hectic work week evenings. This one, even though it is titled "A.M. Yoga for Your Week", fits the bill pefectly for me. It gives me a good workout that's challenging enough, in an amount of time that fits my evening schedule. I really like that each segment focuses on a different group of yoga poses--forward bends, back bends, twists, etc. Rodney Yee's voice is soothing and his vocal guidance during a pose helps me to be sure I am getting the most out of it. This one was worth buying!
Brilliant idea ( you won't need your morning java! ) October 15, 2008

It's been a while since I hit the yoga mat last time so I was looking for an easy way of incorporating it into my daily routine again. I'm really happy I found this DVD. The practices are perfect for my mornings - they wake me up better than coffee and after doing them, I feel stretched, relaxed and ready to start my day. The poses are not particularly difficult, which I think is important for a morning practice when you're still quite stiff and uncoordinated, increasing the risk of injuring yourself. 5 individual programs will prevent me from getting bored.
Highly recommended!
