There is no "combined workout" or option to do an integrated workout/session. The workout/yoga segments in this DVD are organized in a way that is very odd (and not very good). Each segment lasts about 20 minutes. So if you want some variety and/or a longer session, this DVD will not really help you.

To go from one 20-minute segment to another, you have to go back to main menu and select a different set of poses. I found this approach to organizing the sessions to be very odd, and not conducive to a well-rounded, seamless morning workout. From the Main Menu, you can choose: Standing Poses OR Twisting poses OR back-bends, etc. 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. There are also no segments longer than 20 minutes.

After four weeks using this DVD each day, I feel AMAZING. However, I don't have much to compare it to other than some hour long BORING classes at the gym. I am new to yoga. I look forward to it each morning, and if I miss it in the morning I hurry home from work and do it at night instead. I am buying yoga sets and this DVD for all my friends for Christmas. 20-25 minutes is just the right amount of time for me.

I got this DVD as a gift. 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. 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. So some mornings I am fatigued and I need to do a shorter routine. 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. I would not use this as my only source of exercise. These are perfect.

But I do yoga every morning and I also do aerobic at night. At first I wasn't very excited about it. I usually do longer yoga DVD's in the morning. I would reccomend this as a good addition to other routines that you already do. I alternate between the routines and I am always so surprised that I get the kind of work out I do in twenty minutes. When you finish you can really feel the limberness and strech from the routine.

This one, even though it is titled "A.M. Yoga for Your Week", fits the bill pefectly for me. I really like that each segment focuses on a different group of yoga posesforward bends, back bends, twists, etc. I have been looking for a yoga workout that was under an hour to fit in with my hectic work week evenings. This one was worth buying. It gives me a good workout that's challenging enough, in an amount of time that fits my evening schedule. Rodney Yee's voice is soothing and his vocal guidance during a pose helps me to be sure I am getting the most out of it.

I'm really happy I found this DVD. Highly recommended. It's been a while since I hit the yoga mat last time so I was looking for an easy way of incorporating it into my daily routine again. The practices are perfect for my mornings - they wake me up better than coffee and after doing them, I feel stretched, relaxed and ready to start my day. The poses are not particularly difficult, which I think is important for a morning practice when you're still quite stiff and uncoordinated, increasing the risk of injuring yourself. 5 individual programs will prevent me from getting bored.
