From Amazon.com This yoga set is perfect for busy people who need to work in a way to relax. On the a.m. tape, Rodney Yee takes you through a 15-minute morning yoga set, while Patricia Walden leads a 20-minute evening routine on the p.m. tape. The a.m. tape was filmed on a beach on Maui at sunrise, providing a soothing background for this gentle workout. In the morning, Rodney tells us, "the body is rested but stiff from inactivity." The stretches he demonstrates are designed to increase circulation, improve mobility, and bring clarity to your mind. The movements are easy to follow (they include a conscious relaxation, the a.m. workout, and a guided meditation), and the set is short enough that it can be squeezed into the most hectic of morning schedules. The p.m. video was filmed at sunset in Death Valley. Patricia's yoga set is designed to quiet the mind after the stress of the day and to help you make the transition from active to quiet. She uses a combination of a centering series, standing poses, forward bends, and restorative poses to help you ease into night. You will need some firm blankets to sit on and a yoga strap (although a belt or scarf will serve the same purpose) to perform these movements. Perfect for the beginner and for the overworked. --Jenny Brown

Not for beginners August 17, 2004 If you dont have any knowlegde of Yoga, do not buy this tape. I thought it would at least introduce you to some basics of poses used. But no. It is now sitting on my bookcase.
Wonderful workouts April 24, 2004 These are great workouts. The am workout gets me up and ready to start the day and the pm workout is perfectly relaxing. Boxed together they are a real deal.
Very Difficult November 27, 2003 Pm Yoga is not for beginners. I ahve never done yoga before and when I tried to do Pm Yoga it was very difficult. The AM yoga is a little easier but you need ot have the equipment to go along with it. This tape seems like a Step 2 tape for beginners. Not the best for someone new to the yoga sensation.
am good, pm bad November 2, 2003 first of all, rodney yee is an excellent yoga master... his instruction is necessary, easy to follow, and not intrusive... i enjoy his program very much... on the other hand, patricia walden's idea is totally different, and obtrusive... she blathers on incessantly - you may think a peaceful moment is at hand, but it is soon lost when she busts in with her monotonous and annoying voice... she shatters any feeling of serenity you may glean from her program... she gives too too much information - i am surprised she doesn't tell you when to blink... it is completely distracting, and frustrating... in both programs, the actual poses are easy to moderate, and do require a certain amount of expertise to accomplish... with mr yee's program, i do always feel refreshed, and better centered... i usually end up doing the am twice a day, and nixing the pm...
Namaste November 2, 2003 I am very new to yoga. I have always had an interest but never got off my butt to do anything about it. I am a firm believer in Eastern Philosophy and spirituality, so yoga was the next logical step. Where to begin was the problem, since a live class is not an option right now, then I saw Rodney Yee on several TV shows doing some demonstrations. His demeanor and his knowledge impressed me. So I figure why not buy one of his tapes. I watched the tapes a couple of times before I actually did the poses. I was quickly taken in by both Rodney and Patricia. Both their videos are great, easy to follow. Though they are probably really simple and light work outs, I now feel parts of my body that must have been sleeping for many years. thanks to both Rodney and Patricia. I will without a doubt purchase all the videos put out by Yoga journals. Namaste
