DVD Reviews of Shiva Rea - Yoga Trance Dance
DVD Review: If you have an open mind, you will enjoy it
Summary: 4 Stars
This yoga dvd is unique. If you are looking for something different, something to change your perspective, or something to free your body, this is a good choice.
Who is it good for? I have been doing yoga for 5 years now, mostly practicing by dvd or audio instruction and I didn't find it to be too difficult. I also love dancing. You certainly do not need to have any dance experience to be able to handle this dvd. As far as yoga goes, I imagine it would be fine for beginners who have some experience with yoga, just because it could make you more comfortable with the movements. However, the movements shouldn't be impossible for anyone who hasn't done yoga before (in this case I would certainly suggest just watching it before actually doing it). Advanced practioners may not like it if they are rigid in a specific style or form of yoga. If any person, particularly a yoga practioner, is looking for a different way of doing things this is a good choice. As far as dancing goes- if you don't like dancing at all, I suspect you may get annoyed with this dvd.
Why is this a good choice? As I said, I have been doing yoga for about five years now and I hit a point where I was feeling unhappy with the rigidity of yoga poses as taught under dvd instruction. I wanted something that would give me more flow from pose to pose. My body was craving that. When my body was supposed to continue opening, it was locking from the rigidity. All the movements in this dvd allow your own body to free form release and move, by not always following exactly what the instructor is doing. At first it feels ackward, especially in the dance sections, but eventually your body releases that tension that usually causes all movements to lock. The ackwardness is because our bodies are continuously being taught to lock and hold positions without actually feeling what our own body requires. I think it is a good addition to any person's life, but you have to be open minded. You may feel silly at times if you are not used to dancing. I suggest you actually just take your eyes off the dvd screen at that point because watching the people dance on the dvd screen will likely make you feel silly. The point is not to dance like them. The point is to dance how your body feels you should. You will feel silly for awile until your body actually releases and then you will see the point. Let go. This dvd is about letting go of tension, of all those locking actions that seperate you from the universe. Let go. Surrender. That is what yoga is about and if you understand that, you will understand the freeing movements of this dvd.
Negatives? The filming is sometimes focusing in the wrong place. I think the filmwork is too fancy at times and it becomes a distraction that makes it difficult to follow what is going on. I find it difficult to entirely see what movements Shiva is doing at times because of the filming. As far as instruction goes, when first getting into some of these movements, it is a little difficult to figure out. It might be nice for Shiva to offer an additional section with tips and instruction on the poses, in order for people to get the most out of them.
Overall the positives outweigh the negatives and I think it is good for the days you are feeling locked up, lacking energy, have excess tension, or just want to do something different.
If you are rigid, do not like free flowing movements, hate dance, or only like predictible yoga postures, I do not suggest this dvd. You probably could use it, but you will hate it in the process.
