   After over a month, I never received the product and never heard from the seller. If you look at dvdlegacy’s customer reviews, I wasn’t the only one that had this experience. It looks like they are out of business or going out of business. Luckily I was able to cancel this order and have my credit card credited. All my previous Amazon purchases have been great and on time. Amazon and its customers should stay clear of dvdlegacy!

   The workout/yoga segments in this DVD are organized in a way that is very odd (and not very good). From the Main Menu, you can choose: Standing Poses OR Twisting poses OR back-bends, etc. Each segment lasts about 20 minutes. To go from one 20-minute segment to another, you have to go back to main menu and select a different set of poses.

   There is no “combined workout” or option to do an integrated workout/session. There are also no segments longer than 20 minutes. So if you want some variety and/or a longer session, this DVD will not really help you. I found this approach to organizing the sessions to be very odd, and not conducive to a well-rounded, seamless morning workout.

   If I had know this was how they did this DVD, I would not have bought it, and unfortunately, I cannot say I recommend this DVD.

   Rodney Yee is the best yoga instructor for video that I have come across. His words are effectively translated into body commands that are almost spiritual. Too many videos that claim to be “yoga” are not close to the traditional yoga at all, but Rodney is consistently true to the art. This A.M. Yoga is great for warm-ups before an aerobic workout. Buying and using this video is one of the best things you can do for your body.

   I got this DVD as a gift. At first I wasn’t very excited about it. I usually do longer yoga DVD’s in the morning. I feel guilty when I do my 35 minute routine instead of my 50 minute routine, I was concerned that the 20 minute Rodney Yee routine wouldn’t be enough. But I do yoga every morning and I also do aerobic at night. So some mornings I am fatigued and I need to do a shorter routine. These are perfect. I alternate between the routines and I am always so surprised that I get the kind of work out I do in twenty minutes. The routines are slow and Rodney Yee’s voice is very soothing. You relax yourself into these stretches and you don’t even realize that you are working as hard as you are. When you finish you can really feel the limberness and strech from the routine.

   The scenery is beautiful, The voice over is soothing and easy to understand and it gives you plenty of warning before you change positions, The routines are not difficult, but they are effective. I would reccomend this as a good addition to other routines that you already do. I would not use this as my only source of exercise.

   Normally I do this in the afternoon – perhaps a yogic faux pas? Or maybe just defiance…

   My favorites are … Hip Openers, then Twists, and once in awhile Backbends. So I tend to do only those three and skip the Forward Bends & Standing Poses – I’m kinda lazy – plus I get enough of them when I do Yoga for Athletes (also by Rodney Yee) – I alternate between that DVD and this one but I’m looking to branch out and try another instructor too! At this point I don’t have a whole lot of yoga experience but I love this DVD & would highly recommend it for toning, stretching, etc. I always end up sweating at least a little!
