Rodney’s non-intermediate and non-advanced DVDs are great for:
-> The experienced Beginner who is familiar with the poses
-> Physical Yoga (very little meditation focus – at least in the DVDs that I own) Practice
-> Challenging, yet attainable Yoga (minimum sit-it-out and gawk at the screen time)

I have these as two separate titles (Yoga for Strength and Yoga for Energy). On a single DVD they are a great buy if the above are what you are looking for.

Both routines are broken up into segments. So you can do one or more sesions when you are cramped for time, spread them across your day, or the segments within either of the routines all at once for a 60-ish minute practice.

Yoga for Energy is my favorite between these two. The Vinyasa choreography makes my heart sing. Apart from Vinyasa with my Yoga Guru Venkat, no other Vinyasa produces as much joy in any of the DVDs that I own. The flow here, is almost like dancing. The locales are lush Maui outdoors. In a few segments Rodney practices with one or more other Yoginis. The way this has routine been flimed (positioning of the Yogi(ni)s, synchronization, camera-angles, location) is breath taking. There is minimal instruction. Mostly, Rodney mentions the name of the pose and expects you to follow along. I love this. There is no talking to interrupt the focus and joy in my mind.

Yoga for Strength is shot indoors. The poses and sequences make it an effective strength building workout. Although the Energy is my favorite, I would rank this better for pose perfection and strength-building. Rodney is still strictly focused on cueing, bur there is more cueing compared to some of his other DVDs. A link to my experience with this DVD during my 43-in-43 days.
