DVD Reviews of Yoga Dance Fusion
DVD Review: Vinyasa yoga routine to Enigma style music
Summary: 4 Stars
Menu: 56 min workout, 33 min express workout, 10 min. Bonus yoga stretch & Spanish option.
The lovely landscape background is inspiring, the different songs in each workout (in 5.1 surround sound which sounds awesome) that are different mostly Engima style music is wonderful. Enigma to me is sparse vocals that hold notes, a strong beat/percussion (grounding) & relaxing harmony/melody w/different instruments that is also interesting to keep you awake, a new age style Jazz w/almost a rock & roll emphasis on drums. I find Enya style lovely, but w/o a strong beat, it can bore me or be too sweet w/o the earthy strong beat. Having real songs & such great ones is a great improvement over most workouts.
The style of this workout is that it has a dance workout routine. Learn one move, practice a few times, learn second, practice a few times, repeat move 1 & link 2. Learn move 3, practice, repeat move 1, 2 & link 3, etc.
Main 56 min yoga workout:
Patricia w/3 women & 1 guy. Music changes w/each section.
Warm up - 7 min -
standing side torso stretches to each side several times, add basic 1 bent leg slightly back & fwd leg straight stretch, bowing the head more to the knee w/each repetition, add 1 back leg crossed behind for curtsy w/raised straight arm side stretch which turns to full single windmill stretch like Lester Horton move which does feel good.
2nd Warm-up - 9 min -
Seated breathing, child's pose, cat/cow, baby cobra, then baby cobra/child's pose back/forth several times, then use all moves w/kneeling to one routine several times. Music here is mostly held & slow notes, the kind to put you to sleep which is really relaxing, too relaxing the point you want to sleep instead.
1st Main workout - 14 min -
Plank, down dog, down dog w/raised leg (3 leg down dog), lunge, twisted lunge, revolved/reverse triangle, then twisted lunge/revolved triangle several times, down dog, twisted lunge/revolved triangle several times again, down dog, child's, cat, baby cobra, child's, kneel, repeat all the poses already done & end in child's pose.
2nd Main Workout - 19 min -
Plank, down dog, 3 leg down dog, build up to & do warrior 3, build & do warrior 3 again 3x more, stand & breathe w/arm circles, stand w/knee raised a couple of times, stand w/arm circle, stand w/knee bent to figure 4 over other knee a couple of times, stand & bend at the waist over figure 4 balanced legs, standing fwd bend, down dog, child's, full cobra, child's, kneel w/arms circled up, child's, plank, down dog, 3 leg down dog, lunge, twisted lunge, revolved triangle, transition w/warrior 2 to lunge, warrior 3, stand & breath w/arm circle, stand w/figure 4 & bend at waist, standing fwd bend, down dog, plank, child's, transition w/cat to baby cobra to child's w/one fluid motion to kneel in one fluid motion. Repeat same poses from main workout 1 & 2 doing them all slowly in one fluid motion.
Cool down - 4 min -
Standing, standing fwd bend, seated spinal twist, seated 1 bend leg fwd, 1 bent back/side & learn torso down to opposite side for stretch, other side for both seated stretches, sit cross legged for a few seconds for end.
Express 33 min workout
Patrica w/two women
Stand, standing fwd bend & repeat for 2 min, lunge, standing fwd bend, lunge, repeat for 2 min. Add lunge w/bringing torso up & arms raised then arms lowered & raised several times, standing fwd bend & repeat lunge w/raised & lowered arms again several times for 4 min. Down dog, side plank, plank w/1 raised leg, 3 leg down dog, lunge w/raised arms, down dog, repeat on other side, repeat again for both sides, lunge, standing split, lunge, down dog, repeat on other side. Do all the other moves again adding the new ones 2x on each side. Now add chair w/o arms raised, then lowered arms to floor, then repeat a couple of times, stand, standing fwd bend, chair, stand. Balance section, stand w/1 knee up, repeat w/other knee up, stand, then bent knee up, straightened leg, bent knee in one motion, stand & repeat. Repeat 1x on each side. Now it's bent knee, straight leg, tree, bent knee, stand several times. Now add chair to the standing balance leg poses. Now add all the poses from the entire workout several times. Stand, standing fwd bend, lunge, sit cross legged, end.
Bonus 10 min yoga stretch:
Patricia alone
First standing w/opening & crossing arms over chest several times. Adding wide step to one side, center, other side, several times. Then add low bent knee raise for balance, then making it straight several times. This then goes to standing & then step back leg down to low twisted lunge w/resting on back knee, repeat. Then add full seated spinal twist (she also twists for a second to the other side without changing leg position which feels good) & then seated wide angle stretch over one leg, then repeat all the previous moves to so the other side seated spinal twist & seated wide angle stretch over the other leg. I did not feel any workout nor enough stretch w/all the repetition.
Pros
* Patricia's earthy personality
* She cues so well, you almost never have to look up
* Her very detailed instruction on how to do the pose well, more then most instructors
* She even gives helpful hints to even rotate the arms to open the chest which many yoga instructors don't
* Where you should be feeling the stretch, where you're strengthening & where on your body to focus your attention
* She does all poses slowly & even builds some up for that might be hard for some to think they can do or too stiff at first (those who can can always do the pose while she builds)
* She does transitions slowly between poses, feeling as graceful & aware of your body more (also more difficult to hold & move slowly for those who want harder workout or also gives a better stretch)
* She reminds you to smile ("Next, lift the corners of your lips...") & encourages you to do your best & not concern that you can't do as well as you wish
* Diff lengths of workouts depending on how much time you have & bonus easy stretch
* The choice of real music & to break up the workout to go with the music.
Cons:
* She does say gratitude too many times, other inspiring words would be better if she is going for that, though how the pose/transition helps certain organs, body parts or emotional/mood is also inspiring.
* The repeating was a bit much. I'd rather she introduce 1 pose (in/out which whatever other pose stretches best only a couple times) then the next & next, THEN links them all together at the end a few times at most.
