Living Yoga - Power Stamina Yoga for Beginners 53 reviews
Rodney Yee
Living Arts, 2001
My go-to yoga tape!
This was one of two tapes I got when I started practicing yoga. (The other was Living Arts Total Yoga, which I also like, but which is somewhat different in style and is 60 minutes long.) I agree with other reviewers that Rodney Yee goes through the poses very quickly, not allowing much time to contemplate them or adjust into them. But as a beginner, I did not find this an impediment to ...

Great DVD for those with fibromyalgia
I got this at the library first and love it so I bought my own. I have fibromyalgia and it just perfect for me. I love that it has three 20 minute segments because you can do all or only one.

AM/PM Yoga for Beginners
This is the second copy of this video. The yoga is simply relaxing, soothing and provides stretches for many body areas.
The soothing voice of Rodney Yee and music provided is an added feature. Love it!

Living Yoga - Back Care Yoga for Beginners56 reviews
Gaiam Inc., 2000
Excellent video for back pain
After suffering with back pain for months and using doctor prescribed strong painkillers, I got very little relief and wasn't keen on continuing using painkillers long term. Gradually I started researching alternatives and read reviews for this video and bought it. I don't have enough good things to say about this video, it gave me relief within days, I don't have back pain anymore. Now I use ...

Jane Fonda's Yoga Exercise Workout23 reviews
Jane Fonda
Warnervision, 1994
A Wonderful Introduction to Yoga
"Jane Fonda's Yoga Exercise Workout" is not only the most wonderful introduction to Yoga, but it makes you want to come back for more. Although I work out several times a week, I am new to Yoga, and was absolutly amazed at how I felt after just the first class. It gave me energy, improved my balance(when you get to be a "certain age", these things start to dwindle), and left me feeling like I'd ...

Yoga Journal's Yoga for Beginners with Patricia Walden58 reviews
Gareth Thomas, Sally Knyvette
Gaiam, Inc., 2000
A Solid Beginning
Patricia Walden's Beginners tape is a great instructional video on Iyengar yoga fundamentals. I took Iyengar Yoga in college as an elective, but I didn't like it and could't wait for the classes to end because they were painfully slow. Cutting yoga classes brought my GPA down, but I just couldn't bear holding the poses for infinity when I had jobs, sleep, exams, books, and lectures waiting for ...

Attention All Kids!
I am so glad I found this video. When I was a kid growing up in Ohio in the 1960's we used to listen to the 45 record of Chicken Fat in Gym class all the time and we all loved it. It was really because of Chicken Fat that I became interested in fitness. Today I own a gym for both children and adults and have begun to use Chicken Fat for my Kid class's and they love it. The Mom's and Dad's join in ...

Yoga Fitness for Kids Ages 7-128 reviews

fun for all
My group of kids ages 6 -11 all love this video. It's a riot to see them all trying the different poses. They ask for this video on an "indoor day" when it is snowing or raining. Even the most awkward kids enjoy trying because it is very low key and presented as a learning experience. They are often surprised at what they can do!!

Power Flexibility Yoga for Beginners with Rodney Yee (Living Yoga)27 reviews
Rodney Yee
Gaiam (formerly Living Arts), 2001
Great workout!
One word of caution...beginner. It really is best if you get the series (strength or stamina) and become really good at one of those first. This one is a little challenging if you are not in good shape already or if you unfamiliar with yoga poses. Otherwise, the tape is a solid workout and not too long. Before this workout I had a relatively weak upper body, but this has made me much ...

Aaron Star's Hot Nude Yoga 4 DVD Box Set For Gay Men - Yoga DVD 11 reviews
Hot Nude Yoga.com, 2005
Great Instruction and Great Bodies
I was suprised at the superior quality of the instruction in this video series. I have been taking yoga classes for several years and the techniques shown here are definitely the real thing. That said, these are also some of the most erotic videos I have seen. I only wish Aaron would set up a studio in my city.

Living Yoga - Abs Yoga for Beginners71 reviews
Living Arts, 2000
Great relaxing workout
This tape is phenomenal. I never thought I could find an ab workout relaxing, but that's exactly what this tape offers. There's a strong focus on breathing and some of the new age things you come to expect with yoga, but it definately provides a great ab workout in a short amount of time. Yee's voice is soothing and he's very discriptive about what he's doing so it's easy to follow along. ...

VHS worn out completely, had to replace my VCR from overuse!
I had no yoga experience when I picked up this video. I loved it, and within two months was in better shape than I have ever been. I am rarely inspired to exercise, and hardly keen to do a 60 minute routine. However, I loved this so much that I went out and bought some new DVDs of other instructors to vary the pace a bit. I thought, "I'll try that Rodney Yee guy, maybe that other girl that my ...

Denise Austin - Power Yoga Plus 37 reviews
Denise Austin
Live / Artisan, 2001
Good workout in my opinion
This tape is a half and half type of workout.The first half is Yoga and is about 20 minutes. She uses the word functional yoga in her description of some of her exercises. The second half is Pilates. During this section it is advised that you use 3-5 pound weights. I find that if I am running low on exercise time, that I can do the Yoga one day and do the Pilates part the next day. The ...

Leah Kalish does it again
As I wrote in a previous review, my older daughter (now 9.5) loves Yoga Fitness for Kids, 7 to 12. Earlier this year, my four-year old started doing some yoga postures with me, and I decided to try this video out. Just perfect. The program is about twenty minutes long and includes a "warmup" where the kids get to pretend that they're different shapes and colors. Then we move into postures very ...

Great DVD
I had this video on VHS and had to purchase the DVD because I am moving overseas and can't live without it! It's very relaxing. Anyone can benefit from this because they show you poses in 4 different flexability levels. I would highly recommend this video.

Tai Chi for Health
Fox Hills Video, 1998
A Great Beginner's Tai Chi Video
Here's a video I go back to over and over again as reference for basic moves in Tai Chi. It's a down-to-earth, easy to follow video that tells you want you need and want to know. The pace of this video is perfect. While some tapes spend so much time on "warm-ups". Warm-ups are here, but they don't get in the way of your jumping into the Tai Chi moves that you really want to learn. Some tapes are ...

Very Effective Short Practices !
This is one of the first two Yoga programs I ever bought almost nine years ago (I have over 100 now).
I used the "Back Pain" and "Stress" as well as the "Conscious Breathing" segments for years. In fact I still do the "Back" segment almost every day as a little quickie extra practice before lunch each day to get the kinks out.
I don't know if this is available anymore but I hope it is ...
