The importance of the breath is familiar to anyone who practices yoga, as is its significance in the pursuit of a deeper, more meditative state. But it never hurts to be reminded of that connection, especially as yoga's growing popularity has turned it in a more active, less contemplative direction. The title of this DVD program pretty much describes the content; it consists of two approximately 30-minute sections, one ("Conscious Relaxation") devoted to several easy, relaxation-inducing poses and the other ("Conscious Breahing") focusing entirely on the breath itself. (Also included are an 8-minute "guided meditation" and an interview with instructor Rodney Yee.) It's unlikely that you'll break a sweat, and you won't "go for the burn," as yoga practitioners seem intent on doing these days--but you might reach a place of stillness that's considerably more profound. Note: The use of certain props (mat, blanket, pillow, chair) is recommended. --Sam Graham

relaxation and breathing
Warning look at item carefully Gaiam repackages of previously released dvd and sells with a new title but old recordings
this is one of them

very easy to follow -
Rodney Yee has a great way of talking to everyone and making meditation accessible regardless of injuries or age.

Relaxing
This is a very nice practice for breathing and meditation. Very relaxing in its approach and I am enjoying the breathwork, very calming as you work through it, which is why I enjoy yoga generally (relaxation) and Rodney is one of the best.

Not Perfect, But Nice
I think I was expecting something a little slower and with more explainations. Rodney is very good at what he does, but I have used a few of his DVD's and noticed that he does stuff a little faster than I like. When I look for "beginner" instruction, this doesn't exactly fit my description. Maybe I'm just dumb...

Stress Relief ( trusher )
I needed to find something to help me deal with the changes in my life and the added stress I was accumulating. I feel a lot more calm, not so quick to stress out over things and genuinally feel better about life and myself. This combined with yoga has worked well for me.
