Everything about Yoga for Energy is minimal, yet like the concept of minimalism in interiors and fashion, less is more. With no introduction this video assumes some existing knowledge of and interest in yoga. A beautiful, lean man practises silently on a secluded, peaceful beach. A softly spoken male narrator provides the clear and concise instructions. While the title suggests this might feature the more energetic astanga yoga, this is a meditative, deep hatha yoga session with no intrusions. The man and the voice belong to Rodney Yee, a student of philosophy and physical therapy and a professional dancer. Yee flows through every posture in a mesmerising, poetic way. As the sequences progress one or two graceful women join Yee in an almost balletic vision of yoga. Though not immediately obvious the five sequences, filmed on the exotic island of Maui, are intended to connect with different times of the day and states of the body. Gentle warming stretches warm up the body for an initial awakening, standing poses ground and connect, the sun salutation sequence boosts vitality and energy, a series of forward bends initiates tranquillity and finally there is total surrender to relaxation. ItÂ’s an approach that encourages a thoughtful, solitary and more regular practice and one which is as calming as it is energising and as grounding as it is soul searching. --Lorna V
