Product Description

The importance of the breath is familiar to anyone who practices yoga, as is its significance in the pursuit of a deeper, more meditative state. But it never hurts to be reminded of that connection, especially as yoga's growing popularity has turned it in a more active, less contemplative direction. The title of this DVD program pretty much describes the content; it consists of two approximately 30-minute sections, one ("Conscious Relaxation") devoted to several easy, relaxation-inducing poses and the other ("Conscious Breahing") focusing entirely on the breath itself. (Also included are an 8-minute "guided meditation" and an interview with instructor Rodney Yee.) It's unlikely that you'll break a sweat, and you won't "go for the burn," as yoga practitioners seem intent on doing these days--but you might reach a place of stillness that's considerably more profound. Note: The use of certain props (mat, blanket, pillow, chair) is recommended. --Sam Graham

Great for release and relaxation

Review Date: June 19, 2004

Reviewer: Jay, Tacoma, WA United States

Outstanding guded relaxation and breathing for stress release. With a home BP monitor my blood pressure can be reduced from 20 to 40 points after using this DVD. I start at the Relaxation Pose (prone position) and continue on to all of the breathing exercises for a great 40 minutes of relaxation. I know nothing of Yoga and there are no cross legged positions in this, though Rodney Yee does use them, they are not a part of the routines. The person who said there are no sub menus must be referring to the VHS tape (which I have) because the DVD has an excellent series of menus and sub menus and you can start exactly where you want. Have no difficulty with focus as another reviewer does, besides, once you've run through the DVD once for a visual, you have your eyes closed all the time anyway.

BREATHE .... RELAX ..... FEEL .... WATCH .... ALLOW

In my humble estimation, this is one of the best of Rodney Yee. Be ye new to Yoga or just initiating your SEARCH, this quality produced dvd will provide you with a great intro to meditation and breath work.

Rodney will easily guide you through the process and belive me this is one powerful experience. If there ever was an ANSWER to "today's world situation" the practice of yoga, breath work and meditation will certainly point you in the right direction and hopefully a "path to spiritual, emotional and even physical health".

This is one of the best ....

Really enjoying this DVD

Reviewer: A. Wood, O'Fallon, MO USA

I purchased this DVD because I was looking for something to help me with recovery after surgery. It has great breathing techniques for relaxation, and some very simple yoga poses. I am a big fan of Rodney Yee already, so if you aren't a fan, this might not be for you. But I have found it very helpful with relief of anxiety and stress as well. Easy for anyone to use, regardless of physical condition.

Breathe

Reviewer: Georgiann Faulcon, Miami

I have a few DVDs by Rodney and this one is a change of pace (th others are great) in that it is a more meditative/relaxation based DVD as the title says.

It has two routines, one focusing on relaxation and one on breathiong, both of which are easy to follow and do.

I enjoy all the variations of yoga (routines designed to move quiker) but the relaxation aspects are why I do it and this one does that well.
