DVD Review: Great flow
Summary: 5 Stars
There are 3 classes on this dvd. Class a 39 minutes, class b 70 minutes, class c 71 minutes. I did classes a & b. Both of these classes take place on a cliff, somewhere. Why do yoga teachers insist on scaring us half to death by filming classes on rocks, cliffs, boulders or any place that looks dangerous or uncomfortable?? Would you do yoga on the edge of a cliff? I wouldn't.
Anyway, class A starts out as a nice simple easy class with a seated stretch, half salutes, half warrior one, triangle, standing split. Then it heats up to bound side angle and bird of paradise. That pose took me by surprise as she had lulled me into thinking that this class was for beginners. Alas it is not, it is for intermediates that don't feel like working very hard and are short on time. It also includes side stick with top leg in tree pose. You get into this pose from one legged down dog. Interesting never tried it that way before and guess what, it works! The class also includes camel, heros pose,and shoulder stretches. For 39 minutes, it's a good, short,sweet class. I sweated bullets and felt good afterwards.
Class b is a killer. It concentrates on your hips and hamstrings. Poses include salutes a & b with variations, half moon, warrior 1 & 2 with variations, full split, twisting lunge prayer and the most intense seated stretches I have ever seen on a yoga dvd thus far. One pose was wide legged stretch with one leg bent behind you. Ouch! felt that one. I have been doing this dvd for 3 weeks now and for the first time in my life I am able to do a complete full split. Suprised myself!
I sweated bullets, and felt great afterwards. My only complaint was that on some of the poses, the camera angle wasn't good and I couldn't see what was going on. Also, her cuing wasn't the greatest. She lost me a couple of times and the right left thing is not part of her teaching style. She sometimes cues on one side, but not the other. She also has the habit of adjusting her clothes and fidgeting alot. Better editing would have fixed this as it's distracting.
I just looked at class c and it includes a lot of arm balances. I tried this class and it way above my pay grade. I'll leave this one alone, for now.
All in all a great vinyasa flow class. Very little spirituality here, just a whole lot of stretching and sweating. Oh one more thing about the pose guide. She goes over about 19 poses. Well not really as one section is about not scrunching up your face in class because it bothers her? Huh? Anyway the poses are for absolute beginners. She goes over common poses like triangle, lunge, warrior 1 & 2 half moon. But wait this isn't a dvd for beginners. It says that right on the cover of the dvd. I was expecting her to explain how to get in and out of the intermediate/advanced poses, ie bird of paradise, side crow, head stand. If you are an absolute beginner you shouldn't even buy this dvd. To me, the pose guide was for another dvd, not this one.
