WARRIOR YOGA IS GOOD BUT REPETITIVE,
By
This review is from: Styler;Trudie Warrior Yoga (DVD)
I was initially looking forward to this workout and it's not bad I just wish I'd been warned about how it is taught. For some reason instructor James D' Sylva teaches the entire 12 or 24 minutes (depending on which workout you choose) from one side, complete with a standing cool down before switching and doing the entire practice again. It feels like you've hit repeat on your DVD player because although only a few of the exercises actually require doing the other leg/side the entire session is repeated pose for pose. I think most of you will find (like me) that after a couple of times through WARRIOR YOGA it's really hard to stay motivated and not look for an excuse to stop after the first side has been completed.The DVD contains 2 workouts; the 50 min WARRIOR workout or the 25 min EXPRESS workout. They are both exactly the same except in the Express you won't do any repeats or the Camel section. James D'Silva instructs while Trudie Styler follows in an outdoor garden setting at Trudie and Stings Tuscan villa. On the plus side I enjoyed Mr D' Silva's instruction, his cuing is fluid, calming and precise although because of the way it's taught I needed more reminders about which leg to move foreword or back and found myself unintentionally switching legs. I would rate this at an intermediate-beginner's level; all the poses are quite basic with a smooth flowing, dancey feel to them. You also get sting's music on the menu page, 2 guided mediations and a bonus section including interviews with James, Sting and Trudie plus the making of Sting's album If On A Winters Night. Some of the poses used are; Forward bend to Chair then Warrior reaching. Cobra, Camel, Down dog to one legged split. Pigeon, Triangle, Warrior2, Standing one legged split, Seated twist, Bound foreword bend, Butterfly, Plank, Standing centering as cool down then repeat entire sequence on second side. Namaste

Surprisingly challenging!,
This review is from: Styler;Trudie Warrior Yoga (DVD)
I am actually surprised by how much I like this yoga DVD! The flow is nice, the movements challenging enough but not too much for an intermediate yoga person like myself, and it's not too over the top with the back ground effects (ie. waves crashing, too much blather about visualizing, etc.). It's a nice straight-forward yoga workout. I would look for more with James DaSilva, and I like that Trudy Styler is not a supermodel. She's a mom with a busy life like the rest of us.

its was good,
By Mary K (toronto, ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Styler;Trudie Warrior Yoga (DVD)
i agree with some of thoughts the other review mentioned....i didn't feel the motivation as muuch as other yoga DVDs do. after the one side was done, i kinda had to push thru to complete the other side. The backrgound looks nice and the faint sting music is a nice touch. I liked the instructions given for sure, he instructs you which foot to move and gives very precise directions. I appreciated that the most, otherwise it was okay. i will use this dvd again, but maybe not as often. I think i had such high expectations, but it was okay. its not a beginner...its more a beginner-intermediate dvd for sure. You would need to know how the moves are done. enjoy!
