DVD Reviews of Restorative Yoga Practice
DVD Review: Yin-like yoga, but wish there was matrix menu.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a lovely restorative yoga practice with many options. You will need a bolster, strap, and blankets. All of the yoga positions are done on the floor with the exception of the morning 1/2 sun salute. Each position is held from 3-8 minutes.
Each practice is composed of recorded segments that are pieced together and many are repeated throughout the DVD, not always my favorite type of practice because it's somewhat choppy. This DVD however is better than many I've tried. The transitions are good, but it would have been better with a matrix-choice menu where you could build your own sequences.
In addition the music is a little too loud. I have to turn my TV up to hear Deborah and then the music is a bit too loud and not the best quality (although I do very much like the soothing flute music). Deborah gives an explanation about getting into the pose and provides a bit of encouragement to relax. Other than that you get to relax and enjoy. I sometimes go into other poses throughout the segments and practice other favorite yin-yoga postures. Her voice is very soothing and DVD is filmed both in the red studio and along the coast and mountains in Santa Barbara.
Here's a run down of the sequence with listing of each posture on the DVD:
