 Great for flexability, focus, and strength July 1, 2001

This is a great tape if you are somewhat flexible already and want to prepare yourself for the more challenging poses. Make sure you have done some beginners workouts so you know some of the poses already. This definitely should not be you're first workout tape. This is a well paced workout that not only works on you're flexability but your'e strength and concentration too.This has alot of downward facing dog poses in it. This seemed to help prepare me for the headstands and handstands in the Yoga Journal's Yoga for intermediates by getting me used to having my head down and blood flowing to it. Rodney Yee is a great instructor. I love how he incorporates small meditations at the end of each of his videos. I am glad I purchased this tape. It brings me 20 min. of peace and serenity and leaves me feeling focused, energised and peaceful throughout the day.
Just remember that this is power yoga October 12, 2001

This is a beginner's POWER YOGA video. If you are a complete beginner, please keep in mind that Power yoga (ashtanga) is the most vigorous and dynamic type of yoga, emphasizing continuous flow of movement. And this means that to be able to do this video, you need to be fit and flexible enough to link poses in rapid succession! If you can't do this, don't buy it. If you can - even if you have never tried yoga before - this video is for you!Rodney Yee will lead you through a variety of postures (mostly back bends, no balance poses) interspersed with "sun salutations" (set sequence of poses executed rapidly). The whole video is about 30 minutes long. Production and music are very nice, not too distracting and not too new-agy. There's a short meditation/relaxation at the end. In short, if you are somewhat fit and flexible, you'll probably enjoy this video.

The first time I did this tape, I felt the same as several of the other reviewers...this is not for beginners! I am not at all flexible and have never done yoga before but I have stuck with this and another of Rodney Yee's tapes for 4 weeks now and they are now a joy to do. I still cannot mold myself into the poses as beautifully as he has, but my flexibility has increased tremendously and the workout becomes easier and easier each time I do it. I no longer am watching the video out of the corner of my eye, but am concentrating on each move and my breathing. The result is increased flexibility and a more relaxed me. My advice is to stick with the program a few weeks and you will be very pleased. If he made the routine any simpler the video would not be useful to you after only a week or two. Instead you have a program that will challenge you for several months.
The easiest of the Power Yoga series March 2, 2002

This is the third in the Power Yoga series. I bought this video for more variety to go with the first two videos, Power Yoga for Stamina (vol 1), and Strength (vol 2).After practicing this video I would have to say that it's the least physically intense of the three videos, but your flexibility will be tested the most. You'll do upward facing dog poses with one leg lifted up to your stomach to put more weight on your other foot. You'll also lift that leg up in the air behind you to stretch your muscles in ways you've never imagined!! The video ends with a lengthy cooldown session. For a more intense workout in order of difficulty, try either the "Stamina" or the "Strength" videos as well. You could even practice all three videos in series! If you're new to yoga, I'd try the AM/PM yoga series first and then try the Power Yoga for Stamina or this video once you feel confortable with the basic poses. These Power Yoga series videos are more intense and require more advanced flexibility and upper body strength. Overall, I enjoyed this video tremendously and highly recommended for those Power Yoga enthusiasts!! (along with the other two videos)
 Definitely Not For Beginners May 20, 2001

I'm very disappointed in this video. It's very fast moving (I guess that's what "power" means) and in the second half of the video, the postures are so advanced (hopping from one pose to another, positioning your legs OVER your shoulders from behind and balancing your entire weight on your hands). I think Rodney Yee has lost track of what is a "beginners" tape (somebody get this man a dictionary). You either have to be extremely advanced to complete this and do all the poses -- or else you have to be double jointed! Anybody want to buy my tape -- cheap???
