Product Description
Discover a new and exciting way to experience yoga that brings your energy levels back into balance. Energy Balance Yoga is inspired by the energy of the elements: earth wood metal fire and water and their relationship to the energy of different times of the day. With this practice you will feel more alive and centered in the morning strong and creative during the day and calm and relaxed in the evening. Internationally renowned yoga instructor Rodney Yee guides you through five practice sessions following the cycles of the Earth from sunrise to sunset. The absence of verbal instruction combined with powerful yoga postures practiced along the shores of Maui Island help you connect with the energy around you whether you re new to yoga or an experienced practitioner looking for new inspiration.

Yoga Journal's approach to instructional yoga tapes is always innovative, but their hour-long Yoga Practice for Energy is truly different. Filmed at the beach on Maui, the sessions Awakening, Centering, Creativity, Reflection, and Surrender offer movements that follow the cycle of the sun through the course of a day. Viewers are encouraged to first try the entire tape several times, and then use the sessions that correspond to their needs at any particular time. For example, if you've just trudged in the door from a hectic day, you may want to use the Reflection session, in which "a cooling, tranquil series of forward bends and hip openers let all activities of the day seep in like watercolors setting into paper." There is almost no narrative accompanying the five practice sessions, and if you are a beginner you may feel lost at first viewing. Have no fear: there is a wonderful appendix of poses at the end of the tape to which you can refer for tips on technique and variations. --Jhana Bach

Excellent Yoga Workout January 8, 2009
I recommend the Yoga Journal's Energy Balance Yoga over the full body workout dvd. You get the same stances and more. Furthermore, names of the poses are given with the Energy Balance Yoga dvd far more often than with this one. Once you practice each position you could do them without looking at the dvd, but the total body workout moves you into a position and forgets to tell you the name of the position.

However there are some instructions regarding use of props within the total body workout that is not in the Energy Balance dvd.

If you enjoy a great workout and simple for most anyone to do at least 90% of the poses, then this workout is really beneficial.

Excellent DVD! October 24, 2008
I used to have the Yoga Journal's Energy Balance videotape, which was fine. Only did not really like the speech about yoga at the end of the yoga workout. This DVD put his speech at the beginning now, which is better. Love Rodney Yee's yoga methods!

Too Soft December 20, 2007

I didn't see any results, nor did I improve my practice with this DVD. The poses in the second section are fast pace and not easy to follow. The exercise is not aerobic at all. The locations are beautiful and I use some of the poses as stretches after running.

The best of Rodney September 26, 2007
I had this particular Rodney Yee program for years on VHS, until it wore out. I was glad to find it on DVD. With over 30 years of practice, it remains my favorite routine. Divided into 5 short mini-routines geared toward different times of day, you can choose which ones fit your need. It is easy and fun enough for beginners, but challenging enough for more advanced practitioners who need a "pick-me-up" during the day.

A MORE ADVANCED LEVEL, A CHALLENGE, AND WONDERFUL! July 31, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I have been into Yoga for several years and am now going to the Intermediate level. This superb Rodney Yee DVD is for one who knows the Yoga positions as this is done with little dialog and one is expected to be very familiar with Yoga. Each session is at a different time of the day. The first 2 sessions are my favorites in the morning and take just about 15 minutes. The 3rd one the Creativity lasts right at 16 Minutes (the longest, most difficult and the very fastest section). The last 2 sessions called Reflection (11 minutes) and Surrender (4 minutes) are my PM favorites. These were done on the DVD at SUNSET and these last 2 sessions, just 15 minutes total are wonderful to do in the PM after dinner and I have found that I am so relaxed and sleep wonderful after I have done these! What I love so much about this DVD is the navigation is so easy and you can choose the section that you wish to work on. This, I give a SUPERB RATING and oh yes, 10 STARS! Bravo!
