ヨガをお家でする為、初めて買いました。あまりHowTo的とか宗教的な感じの物はしたくなかったので、
このDVDを買いました。Hawaiiの自然の中でヨガという映像面というのもありで、英語も聞き取り
やすかったし、何より内容がすごく良かった!運動量もたっぷりで1時間すると本当にバランス良く鍛えられます!
今ではしっかり時間が取れる時はこのDVDでヨガをして、時間が取れない時は軽めにヨガという感じで朝・夜と
しています。軽くの時の為にRodneyのStaminaとAbsを買いました。この2本は30分程なので
朝とかあまり時間が取れない時や軽くでもきちんとポーズをの時におすすめです!!

商品の説明
Amazonより
パワーヨガには「意識を集中させることが必要」だとインストラクターのロドニー・イーは述べている。彼はやりがいがあって、どんどん変化するポーズを連続してフローしながら、呼吸と動き、緊張と弛緩を一体化させていく。太陽礼拝のポーズ、スタンディングポーズ、フォワードベンド、バックベンド、ツイスト、アームバランスなどのポーズが含まれている。最初のポーズはわりと簡単だが、イーは何度か繰り返した後、もう少し難しい動きを加え、休まずに一連の動きをしてみせる。いろいろな動きがあるがあなたのレベルに合わせて行うように、もしヨガの経験があるなら65分間のワークアウトをすべて行ってもよいとアドバイスされる。あなたがどのレベルから始めるにせよ、ある程度ヨガの経験があったほうがよいだろう。ヨガが実演されているハワイの環境はとてもすばらしく、やる気がわいてくる。本作品はすばらしいヨガのワークアウトであり、これを実践すればあなたの心身は向上し、より強靭になったあかつきにはさらに他のワークアウトを付け加えられる。(Joan Price, Amazon.com)

初めて買ったヨガDVDです。いろんなサイトで高評価なので選びました。GAIAMだからか再生も問題ありません。最初はきつくて、途中で断念しましたが、2回目からは楽しくやっています。吸う吐くの呼吸を意識してやると気持ちよく運動できました。値段・内容ともに文句なしです。

5年ほど前に彼のビデオを買ってやっていたのですが、知り合いにあげてしまい、しばらくヨガと離れていたのですが、最近DVDを見つけたので購入。前半は力強いポーズが多く、後半はマット中心です。
終わったあとは足がガクガクしてしまうくらい効いてます。なのに疲れたというより、すっきりしてまたやりたくなってしまいます。景色と音楽もあっていてとてもよいです!!

ずっとロドニー・イーさんのDVDが欲しかったのですがチェックするタイミングが悪いのか
日本語版がいつも品切れで、今回は英語版を購入しました。
ポーズは簡単で有名なのが中心なのでさくさくとこなしていけます。
ひとつのポーズのキープ時間が、長いと評判のブライアン・ケストさんの半分くらいなので
「吸って〜」「吐いて〜」という間にきちっとポーズが収まるので爽快です。
(ブライアンの場合は酸欠になるくらい吐いてもまだ吸わせてもらえないのできつかったです)
前半はスタンディングポーズを中心に、後半はほぼマット上での動きです。
柔軟に近いような繰り返しのポーズが少し飽きやすいような。
ただ、股関節が硬い自分にはむいているような気がします。
今日はなんかだるくて頭もすっきりしないな〜っていうときにやると、
内容もきつくないし血流は良くなるのでおススメです。

15分もしないうちに体がぽかぽかになります。はじめてこのDVDを実践したときは、ホテルに泊まって、これしかエクササイズ系がなかったから仕方なくです。でも、出会ってしまった。と感動したものです。私は全部通してやったのはそのとき1回だけです。60分も時間がとれない人がほとんじゃないでしょうか?15〜30分くらいでも体がすごく伸びます。おすすめです。(私の痛めた体に気持ちよく効きます。腰痛と40肩)ちなみに、アマゾンで頼んで、きたものはこのパッケージと違っていたのですが、内容は同じみたいです。ロケ地も一緒??

リージョン1とありましたが、普通の2のプレーヤーですんなり観られました。
上半身ハダカなのは、ちょっと引きますが(正直やめてほしいかも…笑)、
それ以外はとても良いです。
流れるように進んでゆき、気持ちよくついていくことができます
(もちろん難易度の高いポーズは、私の場合はすんなりではないですが、
でも流れに乗って入って行けそうです)。
また、見晴らしのいい背景に、カメラワークもいいかんじです。
さりげなく常にゆっくりといろんな角度からお手本を確認できてグッドです!

私はロドニーのヨガDVDが一番好きです!
アメリカでもヨガの第一人者で通ってるだけあって、教え方もシンプルでわかりやすい。ポーズもすぐ覚えれます。難しくないので初心者にもできます。

綿本さんの「パワーヨガ〜美しいボディラインをつくるセレブ流ダイエット〜」からレベルアップして購入をしたのですが、こちらはペースが速すぎて、始めびっくりしました。
DVDに出てくるポーズは何十種類もありますが、移り変わりがとても早く説明が少ないので、始めてのポーズは体を痛めてしまわないか心配になりました。「Total Body Workout」とあるように、汗を流すエクササイズ効果の高いDVDだと思います。難しいポーズもあるので、呼吸を整えながらついていくのに、時間がかかるかもしれません。始めて間もない方にはお勧めできないと思いました。初心者の方はもっとゆっくりとポーズの説明を受けて自信が持ててから、このDVDに挑戦するといいと思います。逆に、パワーヨガを始めてしばらく経つ方は、バリエーションを多くするため、このようなworkoutもいいのかな…と思いました。
全体的な構成はとてもいいのだと思います。体を全体的に動かすことができ、ウォームアップからエクササイズ、クールダウンまで気持ちよく行えるように構成されています。ポーズで気をつけるべき筋肉の説明もしてくれるので、意識しながら行えます。エクササイズ終了後には、体の血行がとてもよくなっていることが感じられますよ。また、美しい海をバックに撮影されているので、すがすがしい気持ちになれます。個人的には最後のストレッチが充実していることも気に入っています。続けていると、間違いなく体がやわらかくなりますよ。

Well worth your time and money

If you are unsure what yoga DVD might be a good fit for you I would suggest test driving a batch from your public library. People come to yoga at different levels and there is no substitute to your own personal test drive. I like this particular DVD because of the economy of the choreography, the workout flow and the fact that it is packaged as a single 60 minute workout (as opposed to other DVD's with Rodney Yee which have broken down the workout into smaller 20 or 25 minute chunks. ) Different options for different needs. I have now amassed a small Rodney Yee collection but this workout is my favourite.
If you are not familiar with basic poses like downward dog, cobra, standing forward bend, back bend the pace would be far too fast and the experience completely dizzying! My only wish-- since most of us are not former professional ballet dancers as is Yee: a few more seconds for recovery between the more challenging poses! to catch our breath.
Bonus: There is a compelling interview with Yee as a bonus and he emerges as a real guy with a sense of humour and history, a father, a former dancer and gymnast, who is committed to making the world a little better, one breath at a time.

Worth getting to know - great workout
2013年6月20日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I am a 44-year old female with limited yoga experience (Bikram - for the incredible cardio and stretch). Former runner, and a fair amount of experience in strength training. Not an exercise fanatic, but I know I need to do it. I wanted to get into serious yoga to increase my flexibility and improve my balance, and wanted a workout that would also build strength. I have often dismissed yoga as being for skinny, flexible, vegan, new-agey types, but Bikram convinced me it could build strength and stamina. But Bikram and most yoga classes are expensive and inconvenient. Bottom line is, I'm getting into middle-age and want to improve and maintain my health for as long as possible, at a reasonable price.
I started with Gaiam's Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss with Suzanne Deason, which was a good start for a beginner, but it quickly became too easy. I'm giving it to my mom. Then I looked into just about every yoga DVD on Amazon and read just about every review--seriously! Chose this one and Yee's Ultimate Power Yoga for the 5 shorter workouts (for days when I don't have an hour for exercise). I'm just going to ignore the controversy about Yee's personal situation (divorce etc.) because the man's personal life has nothing to do with me or anyone else watching this DVD and trying to get into/stay in shape. Glass houses, folks. Throwing stones NOT a good idea. This is Yoga, not Marriage 101.
Observations: Yee is obviously in totally awesome shape. The setting (ocean, tropics) is beautiful. The music is unobtrusive (thank goodness - HATE bastardized yoga set to rock 'n roll). Yee's voice-over instructions are concise and, at times, detailed (but not often). Yee clearly tells you when to inhale and when to exhale and, again for the inexperienced, this can seem obtrusive and almost silly...but once you get used to the rhythm and his style, you see how important it is.
The pace of the exercise is brisk, much brisker than I expected, and at first I found this disconcerting, but I came to appreciate that this is part of the conditioning: to move smoothly and seamlessly but quickly between the poses, and the transitions are just about as important as the poses themselves. The transitions raise your heart rate as well as the poses themselves. Once warm-up is over, most of the poses are only held briefly, with some notable exceptions where Yee has you hold hold hold the pose and breathe breathe breathe (5 long breaths) as you settle in and get the complete benefit (with verbal tips on corrections given to improve the conditioning). Believe me, it's tough. There are other reviewers who sound more athletic than I am who agree that it's tough. Some of the held standing poses greatly challenge your leg and butt muscles while at the same time you must balance, and lengthen, and twist, and stretch, and not fall over, and you can see that even Yee is breathing hard and working it to the max. This is powerful yoga, and you feel powerful doing it and powerful, if tired, after it's over.
If you aren't an experienced yoga practitioner you have to watch him to understand what the poses are. I couldn't see the difference between Upward Dog and Cobra, but I've since researched it and now I get it.
The first couple of times I had to pause the DVD, or play a section back in slow motion, to understand just what he was doing; but after a couple of times I had it down. He also does some almost acrobatic transitions, such as jumping from one pose to another. I wasn't expecting that but after practicing a few times I found it fun and invigorating. He makes it clear you don't HAVE to jump--you can walk or slide -- but Yee is a former ballet dancer and when he jumps between poses it is a beautiful, graceful thing to see, which I wanted to emulate. Jumping from a forward standing bend into the push-up position smoothly and gracefully is lovely, especially when you learn to do it yourself.
To those who comment that it is repetitive: Yes, in a way it is, but (1) it's like doing reps and (2) each time the sequence is a little bit different, moving to a slightly different pose, to strengthen/condition/improve a slightly different area. He really keeps you moving AND THINKING and then, before you know it, you've made it to the floor work, which is the last part. Then the whole 60 minutes has gone by and you've been challenged, you're sweaty, you feel tired and yet energized and focused. You walk a little differently, with better posture and with a lighter step. You feel stronger; things you pick up feel lighter. The shower feels wonderful! Ready to do this workout again tomorrow!
Please note: I am GRATEFUL that Yee DOESN'T repeat any of the ridiculous assertions that "twisting compresses your inner organs, releasing toxins." PLEASE PEOPLE, maybe the ancient yogis believed this, but there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support it, and THANK YOU RODNEY YEE for not repeating it (at least in your DVDs). Just twist - it's good for your flexibility and your joints, okay? Enough with the baloney about flushing toxins from your organs. Geez.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Meine absolut liebste Yoga DVD
2013年12月2日にドイツでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Ich beseitze eine ganze Reihe von Yoga DVDs ( Über Ursula KArven und Eva Padberg bis hin zu einer Power Yoga DVD von Fit for Fun)- -aber Rodney Yee ist für mich einfach der tollste Yoga Lehrer im Home Practice Bereich.
Diese DVD erfüllt für mich einfach alle Kriterien, angefangen von einer tollen Kulisse über einer wunderbaren Hintergrundmusik ( eher wie eine Filmmusik als die typischen indischen oder Chilloutklänge) über die angenehme STimme von Rodney Yee, der nichts überflüssiges aber alles nötige sagt.
Das Programm beinhaltet Sonnengrußvariationen, die aber etwas abgewandelt sind und weitere Flows die sehr effektiv sind und bei denen man schon ins Schwitzen gerät. Die Übungen steigern sich in der Intensität zum Ende hin und ein, zwei sind dann durchaus schon im Bereich Mittelstufe anzusiedeln.
Ich kann auch die Yoga AM und PM DVDs von Rodney Yee nur empfehlen, ich stehe in der Tat manchmal eine halbe Stunde früher auf, um meinen Tag mit Rodney zu beginnen! :-) Ihr seht, ich komme ins Schwärmen aber Rodney Yee ist einfach ein toller Yoga LEhrer.
Netter BOnus auf der DVD ist auch das Interview mit Rodney .
Ach ja, da es sich um eine IMport DVD aus England handelt ist die DVD nur auf Englisch.

Life changing!
2013年6月19日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
At 44, I had done no Yoga whatsoever before last year, and had first touched on it at my local gym. The gym closed down, and so I decided to search online for something I could work with from home. I looked online, weighed up the options, and decided on 'Power Yoga Total Body' with Rodney Yee.
I have to say that this for me is nothing short of life changing! I've always been quite fit, and healthy, but felt there was only so much running, skipping, football, etc I could do before my joints took to much of a pounding from all the repetition.
And so began my Yoga journey ...
The workout itself is an hour long, and starts slowly, building up in the middle twenty minutes to a strenuous crescendo, and then winding down to gentle and relaxing stretching towards the end. Sometimes It's a bit tricky looking at the DVD whilst performing the moves at the same time, but this would be a problem with any other Yoga DVD anyway. A way around this, is to look at the DVD beforehand to get to know the moves, and get a friend to check that you're doing the moves correctly, (whichever ones you're not sure of).
Once you become familiar with the workout, you'll pretty much memorise the necessary moves just from the audio, without needing to look at the screen a lot.
If you've never done Yoga before (like I hadn't), I would suggest the following:
1) Make sure you're reasonably fit to begin with - You may want to start with an easier DVD if you're very unfit.
2) It may be a real struggle at first. What I did was try twenty-five minutes, and then increased by five or ten minutes each time until I could do the whole hour.
3) Some of the moves may be impossible to do. Just extend as far as you can, and try and go a bit further the next time.
4) A daily workout is something you may not want to try straight away, depending on your fitness. Maybe do it every other day, and gradually 'fill in the gaps', as your fitness increases.
All in all, this is a superb DVD, and Rodney Yee is obviously an expert in his field. His verbal instructions paint a very descriptive picture in your mind of exactly what you're aiming for throughout the workout.
I would recommend this to anyone wishing:
to get fit; to get more supple; to escape dull exercise routines; for a new lease of life and to feel younger; to feel more relaxed; and generally for anyone wishing to feel better about themselves, mentally and physically.

A wonderful yoga workout
2012年6月16日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This DVD is fabulous. It is my first time trying a Rodney Yee video and will not be my last.
I have been using this in a rotation of a few yoga DVDs and the first time I did it I felt incredibly sore the next day because it is such a thorough workout. Now having done it a few more times I can feel myself getting stronger and more capable with this routine.
It is a great routine from start to finish. The warm-up and cool down sections are both ample, and really support the more vigorous part in the middle. The main portion uses poses like warrior, triangle, side angle, half-moon and some forward bends. It is a routine that keeps you moving and 'flowing' from one posture to another. I am always sweating by the time I get to the backbends section closer to the end. I recommend this for anyone with some yoga experience looking for more challenge.
