DVD Reviews of Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley

DVD Review: Grilley's Anatomy for Yoga
Summary: 4 Stars

Having already taken a number of anatomy courses, this DVD was a nice review with tidbits of new information. Good resource to have on hand for yoga teachers. I agree with his philosophy.

DVD Review: 'Realistic' Yoga
Summary: 5 Stars

Time has come for this DVD. Though it was released a few years ago, it is gaining more popularity now. A no-nonsense program, it is high time someone gave the valuable message of `realistic' yoga for the average practitioner. In the West, where Yoga has become a `fashion' and even cult, more and more versatile forms are constantly `invented' to the point of absurdity. The message given by publications is `perfect' postures as displayed on some magazine covers with a young female in sexy clothing holding flawless-looking postures.

Here is a program that tells us that we are all the same in the inner levels of our being, but unique on the physical level. We are built differently, and we must do Yoga our unique way. Of course, we know that all of us are not equally flexible and cannot do all asanas perfectly, but a program like this reinforcing this idea is helpful to the student who cannot `keep up' with the next person in the class.

The presenter's background is obviously in Taoism and follows Yin Yoga. His teaching is effective and the demonstrations are excellent. All his statements may or may not be anatomically correct, but that is not the point. He deals with each and every joint in the body in a style understandable to all. He encourages everyone to do the Yoga that our bodies can accept, and be our unique selves.

DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars

It is a very important idea, that Paul shares here... that due to anatomic differences of bone structures, poses do not and should not look the same from person to person.

Having seen a lot of teachers who endanger their pupils by not recognizing people's different somatic boundaries, I think this dvds ideas should become an essential component of yoga teacher trainings.


DVD Review: A must see.
Summary: 5 Stars

This dvd is very informative. If you are a yoga instructor you should study this dvd. I highly recommend it for teachers and students alike.

DVD Review: excelent speech, but with no subtitles
Summary: 4 Stars

The DVD is excelent, Paul speaks very clear and in a good speed. The subject is just fantastic.
But as my wife (who is the real yoga teacher, not me) doesn't speak english, so i am the one who's translating the contents. The subtitles are a necessary thing, on globalization era.

Description of Anatomy for Yoga with Paul Grilley

An invaluable resource for both yoga students and teachers, this comprehensive DVD includes nearly 4 hours of in-depth lectures, demonstrations and comparisons of human skeletal anatomy as it relates to yoga practice. Using a wide range of yoga students, acclaimed teacher Paul Grilley explains the key concepts of compression, tension, proportion and orientation. These concepts help us to understand why no two people will ever experience the same yoga posture in the same way. Paul's light-hearted yet provocative approach will challenge many misconceptions about yoga while providing the foundation for the development of a truly personal yoga practice. This DVD is encoded for all regions.

Highlights from this DVD include:
Nearly 4 hours of presentations, comparisons and special features
Interactive Skeleton feature as an anatomy study aid
Bonus lecture: differences among real human femur bones
Q&A: real yoga teachers ask Paul common questions about anatomy and yoga

Anatomy presentation topics include:
Tension vs. Compression
The Eight Major Joints of the Body: an overview using comparative anatomy
The Shoulder vs. the Spine
The Femur and the Pelvis
The Importance of Skeletal Proportion
Orientation to Gravity
