DVD Reviews of Yoga for Surfers, Vol. 2: Fluid Power Yoga

DVD Review: Beautiful Yoga DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

As Peggy Hall takes you through each exercise, you feel energized and at the same time more at peace with yourself. I have her other DVD's and really enjoy the pace of this one, especially if you want a bit of a challenge. Beautiful scenery too!

DVD Review: A lot of fast sun salutations & repetitiveness, otherwise good poses
Summary: 3 Stars

Intro: 3 min
a lot of scenes outside & Peggy Hall saying how useful yoga is.
Spinal Warm-up: 7 min
Set mostly outside w/shots of her inside as well as well as shots of another girl doing some of the poses & Peggy guides you via voice over.
A little kundalini back/forth to warm up the spine, easy seated spinal twist, reclined knees to chest, relaxed deep breathing while reclined, down dog, 3 legged down dog, child's pose, plank, sphinx w/head turned, cobra, upward dog, standing fwd bend & mountain.
This was a nice easy way to begin if stiff, not too depending & poses are held a nice amount of time to get the body used to the stretch.
Vinyasa Flow: 22 min
Simple sun salutations, then add a pose each time you redo a sun salutation like a dance routine. This portion moves fast, barely a full breathe per pose except for the first time a new pose is done but only tiny bit longer. This is almost power yoga speed. Mountain & standing fwd bend is practically non-existant when they are suppose to be done. Added poses are chair, crescent, lunge, warrior 1, warrior 2, triangle, side angle, half moon, side plank/star. Non-vinysa is hero's & standing fwd bend to relax & stretch.
Balance & Relaxation: 11 min
Here there are no more sun salutations, but mountain in between. Tree, swaying palm (same pose & slight bend to torso), flying warrior/warrior 3, crow, reclined knees to chest, modifed boat, boat, bridge, knees to chest, reclined leg split, single leg to chest, reclined spinal twist, reclined butterfly, savasana (both lying down & sitting indian style 3 min)
Bonus: Increasing lung capacity: 11 min
Breath of fire - sitting up indian style for over a min w/hand mudra & reclined with knees to chest & head lifted toward knees for over another minute or legs & head barely raised off the ground for advanced to strengthen core muscles.
Ujjayi breathing/Darth Vadar breath - slow breathing to the count of 4 w/hand mudras
Breath Retention - lengthen inhale/exhale from count of 4 for each, to count of 10 each

The music was either too low to hear or else you'd suddenly hear a looped fast Spanish guitar playing which wasn't relaxing. The poses are nice as always, her voice seems nice enough, she uses good cues, though this is not good for a first or 2nd yoga dvd because of the speed & no time for proper teaching. She rarely tells you when to breath in or out. She uses both anatomical terms & spiritual yoga terms such as where to have your intention to get the most of your energy. The pace was just too fast for me & I didn't feel a mind/body connection.

Previews: totalvid com shows the ending of the warm up when she holds poses for a while & youtube com shows the beginning/middle of the warm-up.

DVD Review: Yoga for surfers taught by a Poser
Summary: 1 Stars

I have never bother to write one of these review but I agree that the video is too advance for beginners and I find it difficult to get over the fact of what a poser she is. She seems to be cashing in on surfing and going after a niche market in yoga DVDs. I have watched and done all three DVDs and I have seen much better yoga DVDs. I sold these DVDs because they aren't the best out there. Check out the Living Art series of DVDs. I found these much better then the whole series of yoga for surfer. Go mindfully and slowly. Peace

DVD Review: Excellent tempo
Summary: 4 Stars

I love doing this workout, and sometimes the breathing portion at the end is all I do, as it leaves me feeling great. I would rate if 5 stars if it had any headstand prep work.

DVD Review: get flexed and stoked!
Summary: 4 Stars

This DVD was well done, both in content and in quality. I think it to be a real bargain. A real plus were the surf clips. They rock! My only criticism was that I think the tape moved faster than a beginner would be able to handle. I just memorized the sequences and do them at my own pace. All around I would heartily recommend this to my friends.
