Certified instructor description: A 75-minute lecture on the principles of yoga. Originally developed for PBS, it’s presented by Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman. They begin by explaining what yoga is, and what it isn’t (and why even “older” and “inflexible” people can benefit). Then they explore topics like balance, centeredness, meditation and relaxation. They also discuss day-to-day living suggestions that will improve your health and happiness (e.g. how to “do less and enjoy more” and how to “be yourself in the present moment”). While this is not a “workout,” some basic yoga poses are shown (e.g. “warrior,” “sun salutation,” “mountain” and “tree”). ©2008. DVD has: Chapter menus, Wide screen.

The Practical Power of Yoga

Informative to watch

I found this dvd to be very informative and I picked up some helpful tips on yoga I really never heard mentioned. I think those that do yoga should watch it because you will enjoy and pick up some tips to use in your own practice!! - posted by Carol on 1/5/2012

Comments:

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Do not appear to be genuine, honest and helpful to others.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.

Chapter menus

You can play only the individual workout segments you want by picking them off a chapter menu (one at a time).

Wide screen

The program fully fills a wide-screen television screen. Note: These videos will display black bars at the top and bottom on a traditional 4 x 3 ratio TV screen.
