 Fast paced, not for beginners!Jul 21, 2010
As I am not a yoga beginner, I felt this was an amazing DVD! The workout itself lasts just over 60 minutes and is pretty fast paced. If you've never done yoga before, this is NOT FOR YOU! Get a beginners DVD (Rodney Yee has a beginners DVD too) if you've never done yoga before or take a class with a qualified instructor, and never begin a vigorous exercise regimen without consulting your doctor!
There is one pose I can't do and one I can't hold for as long as Mr. Yee does, but that's because I'm not an expert at yoga - yet! The best thing you can do is to try your best and do something that looks similar when you can't do what the instructor is doing.
As I said this is FAST PACED and you will work up a sweat before you are done! A great yoga DVD and a great workout.
Amazingly challenging yet relaxingJul 05, 2010
I did this for the first time--got through it all, felt fabulous, and only fell down once (half moon pose)! Excellent, indeed, for those of us more advanced. I am blown away that Rodney crafts a workout that is rigorous, yet the entire time I am mentally and spiritually relaxed and happy within. Bravo!
Regarding other reviews about lack of core work: try Sadie Nardini's Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga...that is my other favorite. Sadie weaves specific abdominal work into the Vinyasa flow (ex: rather than going from down dog w/leg extended straight into Salutations, she'll have you bring the leg forward to half plank at the chest, extend back again (twice), then go into the Salutation. Ab work is woven throughout. I feel Sadie's practice may be more tailored to women's bodies specifically, but I respect and appreciate this workout from Rodney, and will enjoy doing it regularly also.
Thank you, Rodney!
PerfectionJul 04, 2010
From the opening asanas (demonstrated against the skies and seas of the Big Island--Hawai'i) to the cool down and relaxation portion, this DVD is perfection. After 13 years of being a studio devotee, I'm giving myself over to a home practice, and this DVD hits the spot.

 A p90x perspectiveJun 03, 2010
I bought this disk after doing p90x Yoga X for a year and a half. Though I thoroughly enjoyed Tony Horton's yoga disk, I wanted a new perspective.
Rodney Yee's program moves at a faster pace. He holds moves for about the same time, but spends less time on transitioning between poses. This is not a beginner's yoga DVD. You need to know what to do when he says "downward dog," "triangle pose" or "warrior three." Tony Horton explains these (good for the beginner) though that extends the length of the video.
Also the level of difficulty is moderate. There is nothing that is contortionist-level impossible here. Though Mr. Yee obviously has a great deal of flexibility, you can modify what he does to your own level. However you should have some prior yoga experience.
On a very superficial level, Rodney Yee's tight bike shorts and shirtless apparel are distracting (not in a good way). I keep thinking to myself every time I look up at the screen, "Come on, man, put on some shorts! I don't want to see that!" Add the Wyndham Hill sampler music and his sedate instruction, the hour seems to go by slowly. While these are mere cosmetic issues, it does seem to bother me.
In summary, it's a good yoga workout - not for beginners but not impossible.
