Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 good morning all, decided to give my stand alone yoga burn dvd a try. its a long slow practice using some reps of poses and some poses were held for a few seconds. but i find the title mis-leading. my core got a great workout but hardly burned for the whole 60mins, and i only felt it faintly in the legs. BUT its was a great practice, using the slow reps and movements made it impossible to let the mind wander so i was totally deep into the practice and total body connection. alot of folks gave this one bad reviews between collage and amazon b/c the title mis-lead them and they didn't like the music. while i did find the title misleading i still think its a great yoga practice, and more the music i didn't even really notice the soft tribal type beat until we were at savasana. the music was rather soft but the beat was with the rhythm of the workout. some things i didn't like was that when i went slower with some movements it seems he moved faster and when i moved a little bit fast he moved slower. he should have done some sort of instruction segment where he would count the movements down. while i was completely off with rodney, i still prefer to keep up with the yoga teacher. he doesn't go over form completely so to say its good for beginners might be an understatement. granted beginners with some prior knowledge could work with this workout. for the burn, i got much more of a burn with the other yoga burn dvd from the kit. but its a different kind of workout, if you keep an open mind about different yoga practices. don't expect a "burn" if you expierenced yogi for sure but you will benefit of the slower motions to really get deep into the mind-body connection. B- b/c i hate when titles mis-lead folks but its a recommended slow yoga practice. have a great day kassia Relax. virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 You know, I think much depends on the person in question. I find this same workout to be a terrific whole-body workout, all my muscles "burn" and I have no trouble following Rodney's cues at all. He does count down the cobra pose -- 10 counts down, 10 counts up -- but I think it would distract me if he did that with all the poses. Now, Voight leaves me totally annoyed and I have no interest in more of her vids after the one I tried. But I know several people here like her a lot. Maybe Rodney's style just doesn't suit you? -------------- Original message from Kassia <ldy_solana@...>: -------------- good morning all, decided to give my stand alone yoga burn dvd a try. its a long slow practice using some reps of poses and some poses were held for a few seconds. but i find the title mis-leading. my core got a great workout but hardly burned for the whole 60mins, and i only felt it faintly in the legs.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks for your review, Kassia! I agree with some of your comments and impressions. I was sometimes " off " from Rodney as well and I do feel that sometimes he moved faster than other times - I still did really like the practice, though and i did feel it in my core, shoulders and a bit of my legs. I have yet to try the one from the kit. I saw his Advanced workout at Borders today (didn't buy it - way too advanced for me!) Take care!
