 enjoying the video!!! January 6, 2009
I am enjoying the Athletes Guide to Yoga. I appreciate the three different levels it offers. I am a runner and the stretching and flexibility exercises are very beneficial.
 Excellent option for helping athletes incorporate yoga into their training December 17, 2008

This DVD is presented by Sage Roundtree, registered yoga teacher and author of a book under the same title. Roundtree is an endurance athlete herself, and she designed the routines on this DVD to work with an athlete's base, build, and peak cycles. In addition to these longer preset sequences, Roundtree includes shorter practices focused more specifically on problem areas. The DVD also offers a customizable option which allows users to create their own personal routines to suit their individual needs.
The Main Menu of the DVD lists the following options: Preset Sequences-Customized Routine-Play All. Selecting the Preset Sequences leads to the following submenu options: Strength (Base), 57:05; Flexibility (Build), 48:26; and Focus (Peak), 47:05. There are also three problem area premixes (Building Core Strength, Stretching the Shoulders, Opening the Hips, Encouraging Recovery), as well as the Customized Routine option mentioned above.
This DVD could have been even better if Roundtree had mirror-cued the postures (she is a bit difficult to follow at times, especially given that some of the sequences move rather quickly), and if she had held the poses longer to allow for greater stretching benefits. Those who are brand new to yoga may find that they require more instruction than the DVD alone provides; in this case, Roundtree's companion book, The Athlete's Guide to Yoga, would likely be a valuable investment. More experienced yoga practitioners will find a variety of practice options to suit many different needs. Overall, this is worthwhile DVD and I would definitely recommend it, with a final rating of 4 1/2 stars.
