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.
