Product Description
Presents a challenging yoga workout designed to focus the mind and warm the body as well as to build strength and confidence.
Amazon.com
Power yoga "demands your attention," says instructor Rodney Yee. He leads a challenging, constantly progressing series of poses, one flowing into the next, integrating breath, movement, tension, and relaxation. The poses include Sun Salutation, standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists, and arm balances. The first poses are fairly easy, and with each repetition of the series, Yee adds on more difficult movements, extending the series without pausing. You're encouraged to do as much of the series that fits your level, up to the entire 65-minute workout if you're an experienced yoga practitioner. Although you can begin at any level, some familiarity with yoga is recommended. The Hawaiian setting is gorgeous and inspiring. This is an excellent yoga workout that you can grow with, adding on more as you get stronger. --Joan Price

good work out August 31, 2010
Karla R. Johnson
I really like this video and all of the moves in it but it is an hour long and I don't always have that much time. It would be nice if they had a shorter version for when you are strapped for time but overall its a great yoga dvd.
 Oh, Rodney! August 14, 2010

When Rodney says 'Total Body Workout' he means just that. He moves quickly and flows through many Sun Salutations and stretches. If you want a burn, this DVD will make you break a sweat, while still being relaxing and rewarding.
Though the positions in this tape are not advanced (i.e., no Crow-like poses, or hand-stand poses Rodney uses in Advanced Yoga), this tape is not meant for beginners who cannot move quickly through strenuous lunges, Warriors, and Salutations. He's great, though, so if you want some Beginner's Rodney, i recommend A.M./P.M. Yoga for Beginners.
Fast paced, not for beginners! July 21, 2010
Julie (Michigan, USA)
As I am not a yoga beginner, I felt this was an amazing DVD! The workout itself lasts just over 60 minutes and is pretty fast paced. If you've never done yoga before, this is NOT FOR YOU! Get a beginners DVD (Rodney Yee has a beginners DVD too) if you've never done yoga before or take a class with a qualified instructor, and never begin a vigorous exercise regimen without consulting your doctor!
There is one pose I can't do and one I can't hold for as long as Mr. Yee does, but that's because I'm not an expert at yoga - yet! The best thing you can do is to try your best and do something that looks similar when you can't do what the instructor is doing.
As I said this is FAST PACED and you will work up a sweat before you are done! A great yoga DVD and a great workout.
Amazingly challenging yet relaxing July 5, 2010

I did this for the first time--got through it all, felt fabulous, and only fell down once (half moon pose)! Excellent, indeed, for those of us more advanced. I am blown away that Rodney crafts a workout that is rigorous, yet the entire time I am mentally and spiritually relaxed and happy within. Bravo!
Regarding other reviews about lack of core work: try Sadie Nardini's Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga...that is my other favorite. Sadie weaves specific abdominal work into the Vinyasa flow (ex: rather than going from down dog w/leg extended straight into Salutations, she'll have you bring the leg forward to half plank at the chest, extend back again (twice), then go into the Salutation. Ab work is woven throughout. I feel Sadie's practice may be more tailored to women's bodies specifically, but I respect and appreciate this workout from Rodney, and will enjoy doing it regularly also.
Thank you, Rodney!
Perfection July 4, 2010
Watermelon Sushi (Worldwide)
From the opening asanas (demonstrated against the skies and seas of the Big Island--Hawai'i) to the cool down and relaxation portion, this DVD is perfection. After 13 years of being a studio devotee, I'm giving myself over to a home practice, and this DVD hits the spot.
