Rodney Yee - Yoga Journal's Yoga Practice For Energy

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.
