| great mix of effort and relaxationI loved this dvd because it is a great mix of effort and relaxation. Some yoga dvd's just stress the effort part. They movie quickly and often after doing the dvd, I feel that my body has been jerked around instead of stretched and strengthen. The dvd is slow paced which I like. I would not recommend it for a beginner because there is not a lot of instruction, but for me I liked that there was not constant talking. Also the three routines are great mix for what ever mood you are in.
Amazing for the priceAfter 15 years of VHS/DVD yoga practice, I've seen it all. Most are either too easy, with lots of explanations, or too hard, leaping into headstands and fast vinyasas. This DVD strikes just the right balance for me of rigorous practice with contemplation. Hemalaya is a gifted teacher.
Worried because I paid so little for it, I was happily rewarded with two hours of good yoga. I love the morning and evening sequences, and the hour practice is good for opening hips.
I also like Hemalayaa's fluidity. She encourages wiggling a little while settling into the poses, which is a nice change from the typical static, aggressive instructors. However, I was taught in class to never move one's head in shoulderstand, so be careful here.
Be warned, the music duing the menu is a touch creepy. I like it, though.
Great for beginners!!!This has 3 such a great yoga sessions! I had a few poses that I could not accomplish, but feel that after repitition I will be able to tackle them! Great video and highly recommend!
Well-roundedIt's always a plus when yoga videos offer options. In this case, you can choose from 3 routines:
There is a 30-minute "morning quickie" which focuses on warming & energizing the body. It consists mainly of sun salutations and breathing exercises, such as "energized breathing" and the quick and powerful exhales through the nose called Kapalabati.
The 25-minute "evening bath" involves mostly twisting and inverted poses.
The "daily connection" is a 60-minute routine that encompasses a wide variety of stretching, strengthening, balancing, and energizing poses.
Behl also includes an instructional and breathing segment for those who are new to yoga.
Overall, it's a great yoga video for those who prefer a well-rounded yoga practice.
Nice to have optionsI like that there are different options for the time of day or time period you are working with- early morning, evening, etc. A very good instructor, the cues are easy to follow and the postures are challenging but not too difficult. A good workout.
