DVD Reviews of Yoga for Surfers, Vol. 1
DVD Review: Yoga for Anyone
Summary: 5 Stars
The scenery is so enjoyable and the music is fantastic. Peggy shows us that we all can do yoga, regardless of fitness level. The exercises are great even if you don't surf as we all need to be flexible. As an Occupational Therapist, I am interested in safe yoga exercises, rather than celebrity exercises and Peggy delivers a safe viable option to increasing your range of motion.Surf Flex: Flexibility, Yoga, and Conditioning Exercises for SurfersDVD Review: Don't buy the dvd, and don't buy into the fabricated 5 star reviews
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this as a video, and was not that impressed. It has nice surf footage, but the yoga instruction is really bad. The time would have been better spent slowing going through each poses, versus racing through a large number of poses. Skip this DVD, take a lesson at you local yoga place. DVD Review: Dont buy
Summary: 1 Stars
This video is not good. Peggy seems like a regular soccer mom who decided that she could make a yoga video. Her instructions arent good and her form is not good enough to be teaching others. The editing is pretty bad. And worst of all theres awesome surfing clips on when your head is bent over in your lap. How are you supposed to watch the sweet barrels?
Maybe the other two Yoga for Surfers are better but I'm over it.
DVD Review: Another Bogus "How to be a better surfer DVD."
Summary: 2 Stars
This is perhaps the worst of all videos out today of its type. If you have a basic knowledge of yoga, you don't need this at all - you can create and tailor your own workout. If you don't know yoga, it's useless. The instruction is poor, peppered with a split screen of people surfing and practicing yoga (no wonder the surf mags think it's great!) with little, very poorly demonstrated techniques of basic yoga. In some scenes you can't even see their feet (a crucial failure) - even if the "instructor" says what to do. Save your money, take yoga long enough to learn it properly, then apply it to your own surfing. Yoga is great for surfing, but this is a poor video.DVD Review: Beth Cholette wrote a great 4 star review on 10/25/06
Summary: 3 Stars
So I don't have to type the content here. I also agree with someone's comments that there are a lot of 5 star review for 3/21 that are obviously shrills/fakes.
It does have a nice feel, but there isn't enough teaching to make sure you do the poses correctly to avoid injury. She does well with the general basics, sometimes telling you when to inhale/exhale & she's VERY good about telling you the benefits of the poses for surfing or for stretching/strengthening those muscles, but no reminders on how not to do it, such as a sitting spinal twist the twist comes form the waist, don't force it from the upper chest or neck. I have been doing it for 5 years so I was ok, but she did a great shoulder stretch that felt good, but then I got lost how she did it & had to rewind. Also, during poses she was demonstrating, it would cut to the people surfing or even just a seagull flying over a beach. I know it's for surfers, but they can't go 20 min w/o seeing water? There are also several minute long interviews at each chapter, so you will have to fast fwd through that every time. At first I enjoyed the quick pace of the pre-surf session, thinking it would be great when I have little time, but it started to make me feel rushed because it's only held for 2 moderate speed breaths yet it's not meant to be power yoga.
