Summary: 5 Stars
Great to use if you want to incorporate Yoga into your life as a daily practice. 15-30-45 miniutes, whatever time you have :)DVD Review: one of my best teachers
Summary: 5 Stars
Being Ashtanga Yoga a seriously hard tecnic as it is,I think the sweetness and patient voice and instructions of DAVID SWENSON make the practice much more pleasant and easy to follow.
I just wish I could be as flexible as he is, but as he say "you have your entire life to practice yoga, don't be in a hurry,build your practice trough time and don't forget to breath"
A great rutine from a very loving teacher.
DVD Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this DVD a lot! I like the options of doing short to long yoga routines. The DVD is a good representation of Ashtanga Yoga. However, I feel it moves a little too quickly between poses. You hold each pose for 5 breaths by the time I get into a pose Doug Swenson is already on 3 breaths. I don't get to hold the poses long enough once I get into them. I'm not quite as flexible as Doug!DVD Review: Short, but challenging and satisfying
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good way to fit a bit of yoga into your daily routine. Swenson goes through the poses at good rate and doesn't shy away from the hard stuff, although he also gives alternatives if you find a pose too challenging. I regularly go to vinyasa yoga classes, and I was looking for a DVD to use when I travel -- something shorter than the full Ashtanga series, but not something aimed at beginners. I really like the flexibility of being able to choose a 15-, 30- or 45-minute workout, and the deep relaxation and the end is very pleasant.
I'm not very good with the Sanscrit names, so here is a summary in English (from memory, probably incomplete) of the poses in the 45-minute workout. He does them in the right order, so if you practice Ashtanga and want to do a pose that he leaves out, you can just pause the DVD at the right place and do it.
