Format:DVD
Personally, I commend this DVD highly! Controlled, precise, calm, powerful, relaxing, energising, meditative and nicely taxing without ever becoming excessive. Everything a yoga session should be.
It contains very little 'how to' information, so is not suitable for beginners. However, for those familiar with the asanas, and already into dynamic forms of yoga, it provides an excellent practice session. Although I feel I've had a workout, It always leaves me feeling calm, focused, and with twice as much energy as when I started.
Congratulations Gaiam, and Mr Yee, on a first rate effort.

Format:DVD
I completely agree with the other reviewers.
I have learnt yoga from DVD's and books only and have been practicing yoga regularly for over two years now. This DVD though, is by far my favourite. Not for complete beginners because it does require some flexibility but it is very easy to follow. Both my strength and flexilbility have increased enourmously since I started using this DVD, and I never tire of Yee's soothing voice, guiding me through the poses. Great for both men and women!

Format:DVD
I had the privilege of being taught Astanga yoga by a hugely talented teacher - but sadly we do not now share a home town, so I've had to look elsewhere for my regular classes. Having checked out a few local classes, it was clear that I would have to be more creative in my search for inspiration and motivation. And so it was that I ordered almost every yoga DVD I could find, from David Swenson to various GAIAM titles and some smaller-name productions too.
This DVD by Rodney Yee is the standout pick of the bunch, along with Swenson's work. Themed on the Astanga Primary Series, with a few modifications and omissions, this is categorically not for beginners. The focus is on dynamic asanas, so there's very little respite and not a single Child's Pose. It'll work you hard and probably make your sweat, but sweat is necessary for the purifying effects of yoga. As a result, this DVD will leave you energised and *enthused* like no other that I've yet come across.
The presentation and execution is perfection itself but what's particularly impressive is that whilst Rodney Yee has a masterly tone and performs the asanas flawlessly, not once does he dip into the fluffy New Age-isms that can emerge in productions of lesser accomplishment. Maybe it's just me, but I found his explanation of how to get the best out of the poses to be spot on and strangely empathetic with the sensations in my body, which for a pre-recording can only be a testament to Yee's depth of knowledge and teaching expertise.
This DVD sets the standard in this generally disappointing genre. I've largely ditched my local yoga classes and will be focusing on self-practice as a result. For those who are unable to find a decent class, this DVD could well be just the tonic.

Good basic yoga video. Could do with a bit more commentary or explanation on getting the right positions. Read more

Excellent
The setting is beautiful, the pace is soothing and I felt fabulous afterwards. Lots of downward dogs but it really limbers you up. A master teacher with a very soothing voice.
