DVD Reviews of Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley
DVD Review: I love, love, love this dvd BUT...
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very new to yoga and this dvd has been very helpful and interesting...I now feel I understand some of the things I have been wondering about and it helped me become more aware of how I'm feeling a pose and whether I'll be able to get deeper into certain poses and when I should use props.
I could go on and on about how much I got out of this dvd, HOWEVER, I did have one major problem with the dvd. The first copy I received skipped and stuck a little bit and eventually got so bad it wouldn't play in my dvd player after a certain point. I put it in my laptop and it played a little further, but then it started hanging and skipping a bit farther into the dvd and wouldn't play there either. So I got a new dvd, and this one DID play in my dvd player but it still freezes and skips for maybe a second at a time...not enough to freeze or for me to miss anything, but I do question the quality of the dvd itself (not the content, which is fantastic!) I play dvds all the time and don't usually have this problem.
DVD Review: Ah-ha upon ah-ha, LOL
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't you just love those teachers who bring forth multiple ah-has for you? Paul definitely makes that happen here. My teaching experience expanded tremendously after watching this video. I've watched it many times now to glean ever-more tidbits. Great for those with an A&P background but certainly helpful for those who just want to deepen their understanding of the body as it relates to asanas. DVD Review: Well worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that every yoga teacher should own this DVD. It is very informative and will bring a new perspective about your student's capabilities and limitations.DVD Review: Pretty Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I think that this DVD is ok for a beginner who has only a very basic knowledge of how the human skeletal system operates. I do think that the demonstrations are well done and the DVD itself is well put together. It really is just like being at a workshop. I also liked the way that the information is organized on the DVD and extras such as the interactive skeleton. However, for me, it was not a keeper. I sold my copy on Ebay immediately after watching. For a real, indispensable reference for anatomy as it relates to yoga, try this book by David Coulter:
Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners
DVD Review: Well worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent DVD for both students and teachers of yoga. Grilley clears up many misconceptions that are often presented in yoga classes conducted by personnel not schooled in anatomy and physiology. He gives you the information that you need to know to improve your yoga practice and prevent injuries. I highly recommend it!
