Desiree Rumbaugh seems friendly to me, not stiff, but perhaps nervous about the camera which is normal. Her voice over is soothing to me. She does very well with details, she knows how stretches work on the anatomy of the body & the planes of movement & rotation of muscles & bones. She uses both western/medical/anatomy teaching/cues as well as spiritual "lift the heart up" (just mean to raise the chest) cues which made it very easy to follow. This is the greatest part besides the beautiful production. Since I haven't done yoga in over a week or so, I was tighter then normal so this was a great time to try something light. I did not like the order of the poses/stretches. They felt odd to me & I would do other stretches instead while pausing. There were two forward bends & two of the same reclined spinal twists. Though she gives great details, even in a popular seated spinal twist, she didn't remind that the twist should be focused in the waist/stomach area, not the neck/shoulders to avoid injury & get a greater stretch.
Though this is geared to beginners & those with limitations, seeing a full bow & bridge surprised me as those would be the hardest for those with limitations. Some of the poses she did are innovative & I enjoyed, but if she's trying to open up the hips, I'm surprised there were no butterfly, sitting fwd bends, cobra for the back, etc. I'm not sure if she was trying to be different by not including those since they are in almost all yoga dvds, if she was, then she should have made it 2 or 3 shorter workouts & incorporate those to really great full opening of the hips.
I would love to see her doing an intermediate yoga dvd workout.
You can see the trailer above or also see home videos of her teaching an advanced anusara yoga class.
