Audience Rating: NR (Not Rated)Binding: DVD EAN: 0054961808694 Format: Color, DVD-Video, NTSC Label: Acacia Languages: Manufacturer: Acacia Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Acacia Release Date: April 15, 2008 Running Time: 70 minutes Studio: Acacia Theatrical Release Date: 2008 Editorial Review: Description: A superb introduction to one of the most beneficial and rewarding forms of yoga Flow yoga, also called vinyasa yoga, combines flowing movement with rhythmic breathing for a dynamic mind-body workout. Like a moving meditation, flow yoga unites mind, body, and breath. Your mind clears, your body calms, even as your pulse quickens. Renowned and innovative flow yoga teacher Shiva Rea leads this introductory practice, filmed amid breathtaking scenery on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. She begins with a seated mediation that teaches you how to link breath with movement. Three more segments introduce her flowing approach to classic poses. Transitions from pose to pose are graceful and easy. You may not have Shiva's flexibility (yet), but you can follow her lead in ways that work for you. Feel yourself becoming stronger and more supple. Sense your new energy and find the fluidity that has always been yours. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good Intro to Flow YogaI figured this would be a good DVD to start with before I immersed myself into Yoga Shakti. I'm glad I did! I think this is not only a nice introduction to Flow Yoga, but to the instructor herself. I had heard many great reviews about Shiva Rea so I couldn't wait to get my first DVD from her. First of all, she does an excellent job in breaking down the various poses little by little so you are not overwhelmed. Also, I really appreciated the fact that she introduced gentle variations ... Read More Rating:  - Comforting, with some room to growI am a yoga and Pilates instructor- I would say offhand that I am probably not the target audience for this release. However, I am always for new choreography and sequencing ideas, particularly for people who are new to yoga. I've heard much about Rea's comforting, "fluid" instruction, so I thought this would worthwhile for me to explore. The practice is a little under 70 minutes- longer than most of the classes I teach, and longer than I typically spend on my own practice. The Warmup ... Read More Rating: - Good Flow But Not For BeginnerFlow yoga is a bit different from the style I usally practice (Bikram), but I found it enjoyable and challenging. Shiva Rea is a good instructor and it was very enjoyable to watch her fit physique perform these yoga flows in the lush Hawaiian scenery accompanied by pleasant if a bit repetititve music. Actually performing the flows myself was a bit more difficult. I would label this DVD as intermediate rather than beginner. Poses are not explained and things move along at a decent clip. ...

Only if have strong muscles/enduranceMenu Options: Intro (one on here), Workout, Chapter, Shiva's Bio (text), Music Options (music only, music & instruction), Trailers (3 other Shiva Rea's & Yoga to the Rescue) The production values are top notch like a movie. Camera, editing, lighting, sound, set design is all gorgeous... you can see that in the videos. All instruction from her is given in voice over. She gives great information both in a spiritual manner & which specific anatomy muscles you are using as well as which are being stretched ... Read More Rating: - Shiva is wonderful!Shiva Rea is wonderful as usual; she is simply the most enjoyable person to watch doing vinyasa yoga. This DVD isn't really for beginners, you have to have had some yoga experience to keep up with her, but it's excellent to do flow yoga with and I would suggest her DVD's to anyone wanting to further your experience in flow (vinyasa) yoga. |
