DVD Reviews of Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Gentle Power on the Beach, Intermedite & Advanced, a ***Practice DVD***
DVD Review: Not what I was hoping for . . .
Summary: 3 Stars
I guess I was expecting more from this DVD. I have been practicing on and off for two years, and do not consider myself to be a particularly advanced yogi. Except for one asana, where she is balancing on her forearms with one leg extended, the practice is very doable. Her vinyasas are unusual, going into down dog from forward bend and then plank to chataranga. Why she puts an extra down dog in, I can't figure, and it doesn't seem to add anything to the practice. Also the flow is SO slow that it doesn't really follow how a normal person breathes, even with ujiyi (or however you spell it)breath -- you stay in a posture much longer than it actually takes to breathe in or out, which makes the practice choppy rather than flowing. I also feel, at least at the begining, that she is repeating the same motions again in a choppy way -- I'm reminded of the 80s fad of bouncing when you held a stretch -- in fact, she and her colleagues do just that in some of the poses, which most trainers and sports medicine people suggest is a bad idea. Finally, I think someone else commented on the fact that her own balance doesn't seem to be great, which seems like a prerequisite for guiding a practice, plus she keeps fussing with her bra which is not very zen-like.
If you are going to spend $20 on a yoga video, there are likely to be better ones out there. Scenery is lovely and being able to change the music is a swell gimmick, but you aren't really supposed to be looking at the scenery when you are practicing anyway.
