Yoga Warrior 365

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

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.

Useful and entertaining instruction. I personally appreciate Rudy’s constant reminder and illustration to work with in your abilities and modify as necessary to match you physical ability. I never felt “guilty” for not being able to do poses like the teachers in the classes. This is extremely important to someone who has chronic injuries and is naturally inclined to push a little too hard- Learner

I’m 60 years old, and the first disc wasn’t too hard to pick up. I think I could have been happy with just that one disc. I moved on to disc one and it got harder way fast . . . definitely not gentle and not for beginners. Even the some of the students in the class had some trouble. I think it is fair to say that Yoga Warrior 365 would be best for a student that had about considerable time practicing in a live class under the guidance of a certified yogi. It could use much more information about how to make different positions work for a student’s skill and flexibility level. Perhaps a beginner or an older person would be better served with a “gentle yoga” class / set of discs.- Dierk Sr.
