DVD Reviews of Power Yoga for Happiness
DVD Review: It's all right.
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this dvd after I had seen the "Surf Edition." Bad move on my part or lucky for you so now I can review fairly. Don't buy this dvd, buy the "Surf edition," or the new one "Pursuit of Happy Hips". Now onto the why.
As everyone said yes it is one workout cut up to make many. That's fine with me and that's how the Surf Edition is too.
I really like this instructor though the deal with this one is there is nothing new to me on here. There are a few cool things and one part he goes into some more advanced postures, but without any explanation. He's like "put your leg here," and that's about all he says. So I think he has gotten better with instruction in his newer dvds. In this one he seems to have more of an ego or maybe just that "Bryan Kest" way about him, like sort of showing off a little. I don't prefer an instructor to do a bunch of advanced stuff and then not teach me how to do it. Maybe show it and then explain the preparatory postures or something? He's a good instructor, but his other stuff is much better ;)
P.S. I have done his "Power Yoga" dvd and in a way it's better than this one as well; but I'd save my money and get his newer ones instead.
*I have not seen the "Pursuit of Happy Hips," but I am going to buy it, and I have not seen "Pure and Simple," but I am not going to buy it.
DVD Review: Fun work out
Summary: 5 Stars
The insruction is clear. The various levels make it more engaging. I can be a beginner in one pose and take another deeper if it is too easy. There are plenty of work outs to choose from as well so you can fit to your time constraints. Its my favorite Yoga DVD. I almost feel like I'm in a real class.DVD Review: Power Yoga for Happiness
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been so impressed with this DVD. Eoin's voice, explanaions, and methods are so calming and clear - it is a joy to spend "time" with him everyday. DVD Review: Loved the Hip workout
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is really only for the Magically Hips premix - which I absolutely love and frequently use. It has completely loosened up my hip area, and after years of running, weights and plyometrics I needed exactly what it delivered. I use it after my short runs and it feels sooooooo nice! I have done the other practices, and enjoy them as well, but Magically Hips alone is worth the price of the discs for me.
Many others have already commented on Eoin, and I have to say that I find him helpful, encouraging and his joy of yoga comes through and makes me smile during the poses... all in all this practice is wonderful and I will certainly be buying the Surf edition in the near future. :)
DVD Review: Good, but oh my how he's grown as a yogi and a teacher
Summary: 4 Stars
I discovered Eoin Finn through his free podcasts, of which there are 8 that can be downloaded from iTunes. The podcasts cover a range of about 6 years. Eoin's skill as a teacher and prowess as a yogi has grown quite a bit over the past six years. I find the same is true with his DVDs. The first one I bought is the most recent: Power Yoga For Happiness II The Surf Edition. After owning that for a month, I bought this one, Power Yoga For Happiness.
It is a good, solid workout. If you love vinyasa yoga/power yoga, you'll probably like this DVD. For me, it was good and solid, but didn't contain any of the really funky variations of his later work.
And for clarity purposes, there is one workout on this DVD. It's 80 minutes long. All the other workouts are different chapters of the main workout put together with certain things left out to make shorter flows.
The thing I love about Eoin is that he is just so filled with love, playfulness and joy. That comes through in this DVD, but it comes through even more in Power Yoga For Happiness II The Surf Edition. If you could only have one, and you're pretty fit and love to work hard in your yoga practice, save your money for The Surf Edition.
Description of Power Yoga for Happiness
Yoga for Strength, Yoga for Flexibility. Yoga to become the Perfect Meditator. These are all worthwhile goals, but somehow they all seem to involve a struggle for things that are always in the future. But Happiness- that luminous and joyous state of rapture is our natural state! It's with us all the time, underlying all we do. Yoga for Happiness is a celebration of this fact!The routines are accessible to a wide range of ability levels. The yogis demonstrate two or three different options for every pose so you can practice at a level that is suited to the unique being that you are. Whether you have done yoga once or one thousand times, you will dramatically improve your fitness, increase flexibility, feel more vital and develop a deep-seated sense of contentment.
As with any yoga practice the emphasis is not so much on what you do, but how you do it. Have fun with this DVD. Let it make you feel your best. When you feel your best, it is so easy to give to others.
Right On! Eoin
