A couple of weeks back in This Post I mentioned I was going to pick up a yoga DVD that I seen while I was out and about. I totally needed some indoor activities because Canadian winters are much too cold and long!
Now that I have completed most of it, I wanted to write my review on the DVD. I originally said it was 3 hours long. I was dead wrong. It's actually almost 6 and that's in pre-set practices alone!
Shiva Rae is a yoga instructor based in California. She has been practicing yoga since she was 14 and now leads retreats to various parts of the world to teach yoga in small groups.
(Side Note: I want to go!!!)
The DVD which is called "Shiva Rae Fluid Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga," is a 2 disc set. There are 6 pre-set practices ranging from 26 to 108 minutes. They are all very different and I found them fun and useful. The first one I tried was called "Creative Flow" a class that focuses on freeing your inhibitions and letting the yoga totally take you away. There is a martial arts influenced practice in this one, which I thought was really neat.
The other pre-sets are called backbend flow, hip opening flow, beginning flow, lunar flow for flexibility and meditation.
Now what's really cool about this DVD set is "The Matrix" option. There is a list of all of the segments in the pre-set practices arranged in the order they should fall in a session. This allows the viewer to make their own yoga class with any number of segments they want from the pre-set practices. This is really awesome. Say you tried all the pre-sets and decide one day you want to go all out and try all of the challenging flows. No problem, just pick your favourites and add a warm up and shavasana at the end!
The second DVD offers tips on the harder poses featured in the DVD and a discussion with various experts on waves on consciousness within yoga and quantum physiques.
It's very cool. Check it out!
