Product Description

Product Description

The Gathering - It is always good to start a journey with intention. The gathering is the beginning of the program. Versatile Warrior V- This class is a little bit of everything. It is intended to be the first of twelve yoga practices that you cycle through. Responsible Warrior - Also known as shouldering responsibility this class is all about strengthening and opening the shoulder girdle. Freed Warrior - Explore the femur bones, hip sockets, glutes, quadriceps and hamstrings as you gently touch and take care of those areas. Fluid Warrior - The Fluid Warrior is a dynamic moving meditation. Gentle Warrior - Use this class as early and as often as you need. This class is intended to promote healing and well being. Focused Warrior - The Focused Warrior is a class devoted to balancing postures. Use the breath to keep you balanced. Honed Warrior - You will go through four distinct sequences with each one adding an extra pose. This is one of the more challenging classes. Stalking Warrior - By learning how to lift the hip points and soften the front ribs it allows us to move through each pose with grace and power. Seeking Warrior - The seeking warrior is one of the more philosophical of the practices as Rudy walks you through the five doorways. Coiled Warrior - Twisting by nature is detoxifying so make sure you come into the practice with an empty stomach and drink plenty of water. Compassionate Warrior - Our daily patterns are mainly forward moving and we tend to sit at our computers or desks hunched over. Returning Warrior - Every pose wants to get back to mountain pose and its fitting that this is the last of the yoga classes you will do in this program. Bonus - Includes Modified Warrior, Mountain Warrior and Rudy's Musings (an exploration of Rudy's philosophy). Includes the Program Guide & 36 Pose Tutorials

5.0 out of 5 stars For the most part I love it.

This is the type of yoga I love.
Pros
1.Long enough to sink into your pose a little.
2. But quick enough to keep you from getting bored.
3. Rudy Mettia's voice is so calming and relaxing.
4. His Warrior tips where he explains poses in more detail are pretty good
5. He is rather charismatic and interesting
6. He shows modifications for most poses.
7. The production quality is great
8. The program is organized and well thought out.
9. There is room to grow (in my opinion. A more advanced yogi might find it too easy.)
10. He has a strong focus on finding stability first and preventing injury.
11. He reminds you several times to use modifications if necessary and will even have the models use modifications so that you don't feel bad having to do it. I was surprised at how effective that was.
12. He has this adorable older woman as one of the models as well as several people with injuries. He talks about their injuries including his own and how modifications are made for them. I found that really helpful.
Cons
1. The explanations of the poses in the Warrior tips could be a smidge better but honestly he does better than most of the teachers I've seen.
2. He made a sex joke about one of the female yoga models in the Yin class which I found really inappropriate and distasteful. Honestly, why do some guys think that's OK. Basically he said she would need a cigarette soon because she's over there moaning. Ugh
3. I would say this would be difficult for a true beginner. I've been out of practice for several years and I spent the last month just trying to finish the first class. I was expecting a much easier first and second class.

If I could do a partial star I would do 4.75 but I can't so it gets 5. I really enjoy his style of leading the class and I LOVE the pace and focus on stability. I hope this review helps others.

4.0 out of 5 stars These are beautifully produced DVDs and I have them in my weekly ...
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2016
I ordered this set as a progression to my one and a half years of (at home) yoga practice. I am 61 and have found that regular yoga practice virtually eliminates all of my chronic back and hip issues and allows me to stay active with my work and play with my horses and other physical activities. It is a practice that also helps me stay more centered, relaxed and present throughout my day.

These are beautifully produced DVDs and I have them in my weekly yoga rotation practice....(I do a YW 365 DVD on three days a week and cycle through my others (see Vytas Baskauskas for other good yoga instruction) for three other days a week). It is nice to have a wide variety in this set, with a stated purpose and focus for each disc and Rudy Mettia challenges the student to set their own intention, a great idea for practice as well as daily life.

Rudy Mettia is a distinct and strong personality and there are parts of his instruction that I find a bit, well, distracting. For someone intent on focusing the student on the practice, he has a way of bringing the topic (continually) back to himself and sometimes I feel like he thinks he has to 'entertain' the student during the workout or something.

Even with those somewhat negative aspects of his teaching style, there is an inherent kindness in him as well as a deeper spiritual aspect that shines through, and I have found that my yoga practice has grown and improved immensely as a result of working 'with' him on his dvds. He illuminates ways to get more from the movements, points out alternative angles and caveats for those of us with knee issues and other physical challenges and these are quite helpful.

I do find some of his 'chatter' funny, but all too often I find myself begging for just a few moments of silence while I simply do the work....these silent moments are rare though, when Rudy is in session.

All-in-all, I believe this is a set I will be able to stick with for years to come, and look forward to continuing to grow with it; perhaps my level of patience will also expand with its use.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't like it much

I hate to say this, I dislike this series. I should start out by mentioning I own MANY exercise DVDs, a little embarrassing actually. I own Ultimate Yogi (Travis Eliot) and Deepen Your Practice With Vytas (Vytas Baskauskas). I can compare these but I want to review THIS video series.

I really wanted to love it... But. First off, I really don't give two hoots about one off color joke. However, I want to do yoga. Rudy spends entirely too much time talking and as such, this series moves slowly. A class that could be 30 minutes is stretched into an hour. And it isn't as though we are spending more time in each posed- just more time in Downward Dog while Rudy talks about being in the moment. I want to do YOGA!! Perhaps I am alone, I don't want to listen to Rudy while I stay in Downward Dog for a few minutes- I want to do the video more than once ie, I don't want to hear it every week.

Also, I wouldn't say I am a yogi- yet. I have been doing yoga intermittently for about four years so, really, about four months. This series is too basic, I don't need so much information on how to do a pose. I attend yoga classes and am occasionally corrected. Again, let's get moving here, kids, this doesn't need to take all day.

Positive notes... someone made a 12 disc yoga series. It was nicely done. Obviously, Rudy knows what he doing. I will continue to look for a series I will continue every day. This isn't it.
