DVD Reviews of Yin Yoga: The Foundations of a Quiet Practice
DVD Review: fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD already three times and gave it as a gift to friends. I can highly recommend this dvd to people, who look for a relaxing and healing yoga practice!DVD Review: Best Investment I've Made in a Long Time
Summary: 5 Stars
I can't say enough good things about this DVD set. My one word review would be "Wow". From the theory on disc 1 to the practical application on disc 2, this set is a complete health restoration kit. If I go a few days without doing my yin yoga DVD, I physically CRAVE getting back to it.
One of the best features of the DVD is the alternate audio. You can do the sets without the instructor's voice and just listen to some nice, calming, ambient music. Now that I've heard his commentary a dozen times it's nice to be able to not hear it anymore and just get some music instead.
It's pretty amazing how a simple sequence of poses can rejuvenate your spine and add length to your form. I need this practice like air or water.
This is simply one of the healthiest things I've come across in a very long time. It's so basic: decompress your spine for more vitality, good health and well being. We should all be doing this several times a week. It should be taught in public schools.
I'm glad this teaching is available on DVD and I don't have to pay $60 to YogaWorks for a fancy/expensive seminar. This is the best health investment you'll make and it'll last for years.
DVD Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
I have this DVD and my son and his wife wanted one for themselves after doing it with me. I purchased this copy for them. Each yin practice offers two versions, one in which Paul Grilley talks about the pose, it's purpose, anatomy and yin in general. There is also the version where is speaking is muted and quite yogic music plays, the only speaking is to move one in and out of poses. DVD Review: A Guided Tour
Summary: 2 Stars
I saw all the great reviews on this and decided to buy it. I thought I was going to get a yoga DVD that was soft and peaceful. Wow, was I wrong. First of all the instructor does not stop talking through every pose. He doesn't even allow you to experience the moves for yourself. He keeps on giving his "wisdom" throughout each pose. His voice is neither soothing nor relaxing, its simply irriating. I will say I am not an expert on Yinyoga, but I don't think this was it, unless Paul Grilley is the one who invented it. I could be wrong here. The poses were difficult which is not a problem, but there was no real attention to proper body alignment. The instructor simple told the participants to move in a way that was ideal for their body. Well many inexperienced participants will simply do this and end up in the wrong position, and possibly hurt themselves.
I am so tired of self expressed "experts" on yoga who simply make up a style of yoga, give it a name and sell it to us. While this style of yoga included some of the ancient asanas, they were not qued properly and therefore their true benefits could not shine through. Oh and did I mention the instructor is so annonying and strange.
DVD Review: Yin Yoga DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Very effective DVD. The instructional DVD offers a lot of information regarding the discipline. The application DVD does a very good job of providing examples for differing physical abilities, while continuing to stress that the ultimate goal of the postures is to achieve positive results from stretching connective tissue, not mimic the people on screen. Having only 15 minutesavailable for the first session I attempted (the spine workout) gave me unexpected relief from pain in one of my knees.
I play the drums also, and experience a considerable amount of pain in my lower back and tightness in my right hip. The postures have loosened up and provided relief in both of those areas. Being a person who has a tendency to jump into new routines full speed ahead (sometimes with bad results), I appreciate that Mr. Grilley is continuously stressing patience, consistency and focusing on long-term gains. I highly recommend this product.
Description of Yin Yoga: The Foundations of a Quiet Practice
This 2-DVD set by Paul Grilley, Yin Yoga's foremost authority, is the definitive presentation on this essential practice. Yin Yoga emphasizes yoga postures held on the floor for long periods of time (usually 2 to 5 minutes or longer) with a minimum of muscular effort. The focus is on gentle stretching and stimulation of the fascia and connective tissues of the body. Rather than an exclusive style of practice, Yin Yoga is the necessary complement to muscular, dynamic strength-based yoga and fitness practices.This 2-disc set contains over 5 1/2 hours of material, including:
Fascinating 1 1/2 hour lecture on the theory of Yin Yoga
3 hour-long Yin Yoga practice sequences including variations for flexibility level and joint structure
3 specially choreographed Yang, or dynamic, Taoist Yoga practices
8 audio-only guided Yin Yoga sequences of adjustable length.
Customizable playback of the Yin and Yang practices to create new sequences
