 Rating:  - Great workout for slow stretchingThis is exactly what I was looking for when I shopped for a yoga workout. I needed a workout that focused more on flexibility and the steps to getting in and out of a pose. This one has worked really well for me. And despite it feeling fairly easy while doing it, I am definitely sore afterwards, especially in my legs. Rating: - Slow BurnI am really enjoying this DVD and the workout. The pace is slow (as oppossed to fast paced aerobic workout) but it is still a very good workout. I am having a chance to really move into poses and enjoy them. As a relatively new person to yoga I found that I was able to do the poses, the a couple of them were a little tougher for me. But paying attention to the poses and listening to the instruction is putting it all together for me so it is definately worthwhile. And you do feel that you have accomplished something even without moving quickly. Highly recommended. Rating: - WOW!!!I swear, Rodney Yee is the only yoga instructor I know that can make an amazing yoga dvd without all of the fancy lighting, background, etc. This is JUST Rodney at his best! I love this dvd and I STILL practice to it often. It just moves so smoothly from pose to pose and his voice is so amazing! What I like the most, is even though you're moving at such a slow pace, the time goes by so quickly because the transistions are flawless! Rodney discribes the movements of the body in such a way that anyone can understand. He is a wonderful teacher, however, very modest! You can tell he has a big heart and it just makes you want to follow along! I recommend Rodney Yees books and dvds to ALL of my students. However, this dvd is by far one of his best! TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION Rating: - Another keeper!This is a deceptively simple practice- why? Because if you aren't as mentally focused as you need to be it will seem slow, even silly. I love it because I have added weights to my wrists and ankles to increase the intensity of my practices and that on top of being one-pointedly focused on the movement, its quite a workout physically and mentally. Besides, I was getting tired of zipping through asanas with these other DVD's and wanted to stay in poses longer and even practice a few bandhas, and this DVD really assisted with that. Also, this particular practice does not require props (only if you have them) as other of Yee's does. I like that. Rating: - Awesome!This DVD is fantastic. It took me almost two weeks of practice to be able to complete the entire workout. At first I was worried that it might be too difficult. Now I run through the entire workout several times a week. I can't believe the difference in my muscle tone. I love it. |

All three principals sing eloquently and with a fine sense of the opera's structure and context. Anna Tomowa-Sintow is in even better voice than Domingo, and Giorgio Zancanaro heads an expert supporting cast. The Covent Garden Chorus, directed with distinction by Michael Hampe, gives a memorable impression of the revolutionary mob. Julius Rudel's conducting is totally idiomatic. --Joe McLellan
Lotfi Mansouri spared no effort or expense in making this production special. He personally directed the staging, and handpicked an outstanding cast (right down to the very young and then-unknown Ben Heppner in the small role of Hervey). The visual elements--sets, costumes, and camera work--are also handled with great care, and Sutherland's positive response to this dedication can be sensed in her performance as the unfortunate wife of King Henry VIII. James Morris is best-known as a Wagnerian singer--perhaps the leading Wotan of our time--but he is equally at home in many of the villainous roles that are the fate of bass- baritones (Iago, Scarpia, Don Giovanni). In this sinister tale of an innocent woman ruthlessly destroyed, he shows a surprising knack for the bel canto style. Judith Forst is also excellent in the role of Jane Seymour. --Joe McLellan
