DVD Reviews of Christoga: Faith in Fitness volume 1
DVD Review: Great idea - wish it was more challenging
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been doing yoga on and off for years for fitness and to reduce stress. I wanted to find a practice that removed all the eastern stuff and replaced it with Christ (was thinking of doing my own version if I couldn't find one). I was delighted to find the assortment of Christian yoga DVDs here on Amazon. I ordered many to fulfill my New Year's resolution and will try to post feedback on each.
This video was beautiful in execution with an ideal setting. I still have the DVD on while I am typing this because I LOVE the music. I also loved the first and last sessions of the DVD which are great to incorporate into your workout when you have more time. However, I felt that the poses overall were a little too basic and too easy for me. If I were directing this video, I would have included a thirty minute aerobic yoga session that left practitioners breathless and sweating at the end (a la "yoga fitness fusion" by Angie Stewart or "yoga fitness plus" by Elise Gulan) and incorporated verses and Christian music. The viewer could skip that session if they wanted to and just focus on the stretching and relaxing segments for a lower workout. Another option would have been for these two women to include a third person demonstrating more challenging versions of the positions such as lower positions of the warrior (sorry, don't remember the Christoga nickname for that position) that would provide a better workout.
Overall though, I think these two women are on to something and should continue this series. I will save this DVD to loan out to friends who want to try yoga at the beginner level.
The comment about Jeanine's shirt and attempts to be sexy is ridiculous. This is a yoga video and its main audience will be women. Jeanine appears natural, modest and focused on her workout. This is a wonderful effort to fill a need in yoga practice.
