SHIVA REA: POWER FLOW YOGA

This is great if you don't want to do the same routine every day. You can switch it up using the matrix and also choose depending on how much time you have. You can choose 20 minute to even an hour. I also think the instructor is easy going and not obnoxious or distracting. She explains the poses well too. I have done yoga for years and I always come back to this one. I would say this is intermediate.

First I have to agree with some other reviewers that this DVD tends to be more for the intermediate to advanced crowd. Though there are some beginner modifications, most of the routines would be generally too advanced for beginners to really get the most out of in my opinion.That said, I think the routines are fun, challenging, interesting, and invigorating. I also think they are very classy and well done. I think she does a good job of queueing when you are going to be faced away from the screen, and I didn't find it a problem to follow.I also really like the yoga matrix idea so I can mix and match depending on how I'm feeling that day, just do a quick 20 min or extend to 90 min if I need it. I usually prefer to do yoga in a classroom setting, but now that I am a mom it's not always easy for me to get away from home. These DVD's are my go-to when I need a yoga fix and baby is napping. I will be buying more of Shiva Rea's DVD's!

I consider myself a medium to beginner level student of yoga and I found this video very challenging but not impossible. I've been practicing on an off for years, but have recently begun practicing regularly again about 6 months ago. The set up of the DVD is great, you can choose from so many different practices and put them all together for a 10 minute hip opener or a 90 minute session. The music and scenery are very cool. But she's tough. Watch out for the surfing segment with 12 sets of 12 chatarangas. And you'll probably sweat. Try it in your garage during the summer!!!!

Though I own almost all of the discs that are combined on this one, I find that I use this disc. At first, I was disappointed that there was no new material on this disc (I pre-ordered it before I realized what it was), I am actually happy I got it. The yoga matrix allows me to comine short sets from many discs that I would otherwise not bother doing (by changing discs in the middle of the routine.) They basically picked the best routines from each disc, but it is just nice to be able to combine routines that I really like.

This is an excellent Shiva Rea DVD. I have most of her DVDs and am especially enjoying this newest one. It is beautiful to watch and incredibly challenging at times. You can make your own practice as long or brief as you like with the custom matrix or just use one of her own preset programs. I always feel strengthened, balanced, and uplifted by Shiva Rea's unique and empowering approach to Yoga, and am very happy with this latest release. I like to mix it with Rodney Yee's latest AM Yoga and his meditation DVD, for a Yin/Yang approach... Enjoy!!

I've been practicing yoga for over 6 years and this is different than anything I've experienced... But not in a good way. Some of her moves are impossible to keep good form and alignment in, like "swimming" on the floor. There is a lot of movement that is not very well controlled. I can see the appeal of this style as freeing but I feel it may be detrimental (to your practice and/or body) if you are not super aware of your own alignment.

I am a professional metaphysiacl consultant. In all my years I have never found anything as powerful for restoring energy and clearing the chakras as this DVD from Shiva Rea. I had the Shakti DVD which is very traditional but did not like it as much due to all the arm poses. Arm poses +severe carpal tunnel= PAIN. In Shakti also Shiva Read moved to fast for my liking. In this DVD however she focuses on meditation, stretching and building energy. I needed that the most esp with my job. I life coach as many as 50 people a week. That can be a huge drain on my energy. This DVD really helps me restore and recharge

Terrific yoga for all levels- I consider myself an intermediate student- some of the ATM balances and binds were beyond me but there were always modifications presented. The matrix lets you easily customize your workout. Shiva Rea is inspiring!

Great value for money ,3 great practise sessions on one dvd. Not recommended for a complete beginner.

Okay 3 Sterne Ganz schönes Übungsprogramm, allerdings muss man Shiva Reas Stil mögen. Sprachlich nicht so gut zu verstehen, für blutige Anfänger eher weniger geeignet. Außer man ist sportlich unterwegs und besitzt bereits ein gutes Körpergefühl. Die deutsche Version der Fortsetzung ist jedoch grausam! Schreckliche Stimme der Syncro-Sprecherin ist schrecklich, passt teils nicht zu den Bewegungen und die Übersetzung ist einfach so schlecht, dass es mitunter schon weh tut.Großes Minus - 0 Sterne: Die DVD hat einen defekt. Einzelne Kapitel der Matrix können nicht abgespielt werden. Der Anbieter Tolle Unterhaltung nimmt die DVD nicht zurück, nur gegen internationalen Versand auf eigene Kosten. Auf erneutes Nachfragen reagiert er nicht.

von daily energy,yoga trance dance, surf yoga soul fluid power,yogini und creative core lower body von diesen dvds zusammengesetzt aber nicht das komplette von einer dvd sondern nur zwei bis vier sequenzen, es sind insgesamt drei stunden laufzeit, ich finde es nur schade das man von shiva rea zu wenige dvds auf deutsch übersätzt bekommt,diese dvd ist leider auch auf englisch.trozdem gebe ich der dvd 5sterne da wird so viel angeboten für wenig geld.
