Power Yoga - Flexibility

A few years ago I had a sudden "tweak" in my back (no preexisting issues... "just happened") and the next thing I knew I couldn't twist, sit, bend, etc. I'm on the fence between Western and holistic medicine and have a great doctor who helps me navigate through treatment/prevention items as appropriate. She "prescribed" AM/PM Yoga (the first video I bought) to get my back "back in shape" and to move from there. There's a few good yoga videos out there by other instructors... but I've never had one of Rodney's that I didn't completely enjoy (and feel the benefits of) from beginning to end. Good "prevention" and good "treatment."

I really enjoy this workout. Rodney gives great instruction as usual and this quick 25 minute workout is complete but fast. If you like Rodney, add this to your collection!

At first, I was disappointed that the session is only 25 minutes. But after following the practice a few times, I realize that 25 minutes is perfect for a quick home practice. Once you go through it a few times, you can practice listening to the audio alone - you no longer have to watch what he is doing. This session is not really for beginners but it is not very hard either. I supplement the video with my own backbends which I do not think there are enough of in this session. My only complaint is that I have fast foward through a Gaiam promotional video and Rodney's introduction. It is a nice yoga video to have in your collection.

I think this DVD is great. I thought I would have gotten tired of using the same FLEXIBILITY DVD when I bought this so I bought another one from a different series. I have only used that one long enough to see what it was about. I have used this DVD just about everyday. It's great for "loosening" up in the morning when you don't have time for a complete exercise program. Again...GREAT FOR EVERYDAY.

I use this session as a staple once a week to improve and maintain my flexibility. Don't push yourself to stretch beyond what your body will allow. Over time you will get better. Rodney's DVDs have lessons that are not very short but not too long either so you can fit them in your schedule.
