I love this DVD
I love this DVD. Sometimes I have to do a double shift at work. I will work in the morning, come home for a few hours and then go back and work again in the evening. During that in between time when I am at home, I do the relaxation segment. It makes a huge difference in how I feel during the second shift. It gives you a second wind. When I do the DVD in the middle of the day, it feels like I am waking up for the first time in the morning and starting a new day. It really refreshes you. It also works really well when you are not feeling well. I have sometimes used it in the middle of the night when I just couldn’t sleep and I had to wake up early the next morning. It truly relaxes you. The portion with Rodney Yee is very good too. Though I only do it sometimes. The Rodney Yee portion really helps me when I have back pain.

So relaxing!
I suffer from anxiety and this DVD has been a invaluable tool in calming my nerves and quieting my mind. With most meditation programs I find myself getting restless and suffering with racing thoughts, but the instructors soothing voices allow my consciousness to drift to a calmer place. The positions are very basic and mostly variations on sitting and lying down rather than dynamic flows. The positions also aid in calming my mind and body.My one complaint, which costs a star, is that as other reviewers have mentioned, this is a transfer from a VHS and the only available selections are Patricia Walden’s section and Rodney Yee’s section. It would have been very helpful to have chapter selections so I don’t have to fast-forward to get to the section I want. However do not let that deter you from reaping the benefits from this DVD.

perfect for restoring lost energy
Beautiful presentation of the restorative poses with much clear instruction. Both teachers set a calm mood and impart a lot of additional wisdom in the process.

Not their best work….
This is the yoga session that they always recommend women who are menstruating should use whenever you turn on any living arts tape, but it’s dreadful for any time of the month. Patricia Walden’s session gave me the worst back ache in the world, because the session is out of balance … to many postures bending in one direction and none in the opposite direction.The 1 star is for the Rodney Yee session which isn’t as bad as the first one, but it is so advanced you won’t believe they put it on there.I don’t understand why these two sessions are sold together, or why they are being sold at all. Don’t waste your money on a tape you may never use again.Instead of this one, I would highly recommend “Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss” with Suzanne Deason, “Yoga Conditioning for Athletes” with Rodney Yee, “Back Care Yoga for Beginners” with Rodney Yee, “A.M Yoga for Beginners” with Rodney Yee, P.M. Yoga for Beginners” with Suzanne Deason, “Stress Relief Yoga for Beginners” with Patricia Walden & “Yoga Journal’s Yoga for Meditation” with Rodney Yee which has 5 beautiful sessions with him all one tape which are filmed at the foot of a snow peaked mountain top.

Great Relaxation Poses
I have several Gaiam yoga DVDs, and this one is the best for stress relief.The idea of “un-doing” really appeals to me in Patricia’s relaxation session. I don’t have a bolster, but I use a lot of pillows to get into the positions. I like it that the video gives some time to stay in the poses and let the body relax. This session is great before going to bed, and I find that I sleep better after winding down this way.
