One of my favorite yoga DVDs of all time! November 30, 2008
Carrie (Philadelphia, PA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've been using this DVD for over a year and I still love it! The "matrix" system allows for endlessly new practices. If one day I feel I need to do some forward bends, I'll throw them in, or if I want to work on shoulder stand, I simply select that portion! It's fantastic! If I'm feeling energetic, I simply love the "Dancing Warriors."
The setting is lovely, and the background music is PERFECT. This DVD changed the way I did yoga. As someone who has practiced with this DVD for over a year - I can say confidently, you WILL enjoy this practice.
I would call myself a beginner-intermediate, and I'm not sure if this would be good for a beginner. Although, Shiva does provide cues for modified poses through-out and there is a "Basic" level to follow for those not familiar with flow yoga.
I would give this DVD 10 stars if I could.
LOVE IT! September 5, 2008
Adam D. Jensen (Boulder, CO)
The other reviewer took the words right out of my mouth. The instructor is on a beach in India. You sweat your butt off to thee coolest music and sounds of ocean waves and rain. YOU WILL MOST CERTAINLY SWEAT! I am intermediate and she actually taught me QUITE A FWE new moves I have never seen before on my MANY MANY other yoga dvds! Yet at the same time it is not rushed and it's very soothing and relaxing! I LOVE IT! LOVE IT! I only paid eleven bucks. Best yoga dvd ever and I got it cheaply I am so thrilled. My new favorite!
Advanced beginners/intermediate practitioners July 28, 2008

This DVD set was recommended by one of my yoga teachers, and I have had no regrets in making the purchase. I have a number of yoga DVDs to guide my practice at home, and I find myself going back to this DVD (as well as EVa Barash's Living Room Yoga) more often than others.
The practice DVD has 4 basic practices, but it also has a matrix that allows you to mix various segments to make your own practice sequence. It is difficult to get tired of the DVD because of this feature.
Whether you follow the set sequences in the DVD or make your own, your practice will be quiet, meditative, soothing, relaxing. This is primarily due to Shiva Rea's approach, soothing voice and choice of location, background music and asanas/poses. I love the meditation and the shavana (resting pose) segments. There is no rushing into anything. That said, the practices will make you work out a sweat!
The set also includes a "bonus" DVD containing an interview with Shiva Rea as well as other practitioners, additional (very useful and insightful) instructions and clips from India.
If you are a beginner, I will not recommend this until you have been practicing regularly for months. To the advanced beginners and intermediate practitioners who are looking for a suitable DVD, I highly recommend this. I give this 6 STARS!
