Be sure you like the "Shiva Rea style" before buying this DVD, Jan 11 2012

This review is from: Rea;Shiva Power Practices (DVD)
I consider myself a beginning/intermediate yoga student and have multiple power yoga DVDs. All of Shiva Rea's DVDs seemed to get very good reviews so I was excited when my Power Flow Yoga came in the mail. There is what they call a "yoga matrix" on this DVD, which lets you put together your own routine, and then there is 3 already put together routines about an hour each. I am not familiar with Shiva Rea or any of her sequences so I chose an already put together one called Core Power. The opening sequence was basically just doing 500 push-ups. I'm not talking about a flowing sequence with a couple yogi push-ups added in. It's pretty much just 12 push-ups, rest, downward dog over and over and over. I literally could not do it. So I stopped the DVD and decided I was going to make my own routine with the yoga matrix. The one and only option for an opener was called Twisting Kriya so I chose that and a couple other things, pushed play. Twisting Kriya is a sequence of throwing yourself from side to side to warm up. By the time it was over I felt like throwing up and decided this was NOT the DVD for me. Shiva Rea's style seems to be a lot more free than most yoga instructors and I discovered that, while good for some people, I need more structure and peacefulness in my practice. This DVD is very challenging, which I actually love in a DVD and didn't give Power Flow Yoga 2 stars for being too hard. I gave it 2 stars because I didn't care for the style of yoga, which seems more free-flow dance than vinyasa. If you can, rent a Shiva Rea DVD from the library, borrow one from a friend, or watch Shiva online before buying this DVD because you really have to like her style of yoga to get anything from it.

Unconventional, Interesting Yoga, Mar 23 2011
By Amanda M. Stout "Mandolyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rea;Shiva Power Practices (DVD)
This is my first Shiva Rea DVD and I am very pleased. The yoga matrix is awesome! There's lots of variety (so I don't get bored) and some unique poses or sequences that Shiva Rea offers that I haven't seen in my many years of yoga. I've had this DVD for a couple weeks, used it more or less daily (for between 30-60 minutes), and I already feel more flexible and that my strength is building. If you know what you're doing you can modify easily for the more advanced poses. I also wonder if I will ever be able to do a headstand! The best thing about doing yoga at home is that I can fit into my schedule much more frequently than squeezing in studio classes whenever I can and this DVD makes it fun and interesting. The only thing I don't love about this DVD is that there is no real easing into the practice, other than the twisting sequence, and it would be nice to have a something a little more gradual, starting with some breathing, then some cat-cows and few downward dogs, for example, would be great to get a body ready for a more challenging practice.
