Truly advanced; contains pranayama and asana, Dec 26 2007

This review is from: Yoga at Home With Yogi Hari: Advanced Level 1 (DVD)
If V. Scott had viewed the entire DVD before reviewing it, it would have been obvious that this 2-hour Sivananda routine is complete; it contains a full 90 minutes of advanced asana (postures) and is preceded by 30 minutes of pranayama (breathing exercises).
After the breath exercises, Yogi Hari takes you through standing postures, a lengthy inversion section, and a lot of seated poses and arm balances, followed by meditation. This DVD is truly advanced. It contains more advanced postures than any other yoga DVD I own (and I own well over 100) and many unusual postures as well. It is a DVD for serious and experienced practitioners. I think even intermediates would find it frustrating, and might want to check out one of his other DVDs.
Yogi Hari is amazing, and his instructions are clear and his demeanor very calming. If you have a solid practice and are looking for something intense and different, give this a try.

Best Advanced Yoga DVD, Mar 14 2008

If you're looking for the 'real deal' you found it. Yogi Hari is amazing. He is over 60 something and his energy and presence are extremely srong.
There are great advanced postures in this DVD, and like all his others, it is so flowing. You work hard but its in one way just fun and the other so meditative.
As another reviwer stated, it does dedicate a good amt of time to breathing exercises, but I find it a plus. After you feel so relaxed yet energized.
In no way is this DVD lacking.
This is a great DVD, and recommend it to those practicing yoga already at a more intermediate level,and ready for the next step.
Have fun!

I thought it was advanced poses. Instead it was some kind of breathing! It was a waste of my money.
