Yoga Conditioning For Athletes
Rodney YeeYear Released: 2001
Categories: Yoga
I had previously done Tai Chi for one year and decided that I needed something like Yoga. I didn't know anything about Yoga nor what tapes were best for a beginner so this was a fluke purchase: a gem thru and thru. :-) I loved the high quality of the film, the setting was beautiful, Rodney's voice was pleasant to hear.
Here's a tip: get a comfortable chair not a wooden one when doing the first section.
I found it great for me as a beginner and as someone who is active (I ride my bicycle everywhere instead of other transport). I did it 3 times a week for 6 months and found an improvement in my flexibility, fitness and I was more calmer.
The music added and never took away from Rodney's instruction nor the video overall.
I have only recently re-started my exercise routine (as I took a break) and find that the poses can be intense at first... after doing the tape a few times, your strength does build up so they aren't intense.
A great video for stretching, relaxation (absolutely love the mediation at the end), improving your flexibility and fitness :-)
I highly recommend it.
PS You will need to put an hour aside to do this video tho'.
Instructor Comments:
Rodney Yee does the proper form throughout the video (advanced form). Great voice and great cueing because you can't always look at the video screen with some of the poses.
