Good but not great,
By
This review is from: Yoga for Surfers II:Fluid Powe (DVD)
I like the way this DVD builds more poses through each cycle. I especially like the challenging balancing poses. Unfortunately, I find some of the poses are too rushed. Just as you get set up in "down dog" you are moving into "plank" and so on. It is called fluid, power yoga, however, sometimes it moves so quickly it seems to lose effect for me. I surf, swim and work out 4 times a week and consider myself in good condition. I can't really say this video has improved my surfing or flexibility, however, it is fun, the music works well with it is well organized. I just think some of the vinyasa flow poses should be held just a little bit longer. With the four count inhale, exhale breathing, this cannot be maintained with the quickly changing poses. Overall I still enjoy doing the video a couple times a week. I am going to try and compliment this video with a hatha style yoga for more extended poses and stretching. Nothing better than cross training.

Great for beginners,

This review is from: Yoga for Surfers II:Fluid Powe (DVD)
This is my first yoga video and I find the pace very comfortable yet challenging. I read the negative reviews and the repetitiveness they find boring is exactly what I (as a beginner) find great.Going through the same flow of movements and adding one on each time really gives me the chance to get the basics right. Peggy Hall gives you the opportunity to practice and perfect the simple movements. Its like any sport - get the basics right and you'll do much better when the harder stuff comes along. I can see how expert yogi's would find this boring...this dvd doesn't twist you into extreme pretzel poses...but that's not the intent. As a surfer, it's just enough to keep my shoulders flexible and lets me work on balance and focus.

Fun, Challenging, and Meditative,

This review is from: Yoga for Surfers II:Fluid Powe (DVD)
This is another wonderful DVD by Peggy Hall. The scenery is beautiful and music is lively. Even for non-surfers this is a great practice to connection with the earth, ocean, and air. I am not a burn and sweat "Power Yoga" lover, but I liked this practice, as it was not too fast.Peggy starts out with a spinal warm-up rather than "powering" right into the vinyasa flow. The vinyasa flow is very presented beautifully and with just enough instruction. With each cycle she add on one additional pose. The only thing I would like different is that she doesn't give enough time between each cycle at mountain pose to make the mind/body connection. My favorite part of the practice is the balancing session. She includes a nice challenging balance flow. Then a final relaxation with stretches and twists ends the practice. She walks you through a visualization of sitting on the beach that is beautifully presented and energizing. As a bonus you get an Increase Lung Capacity practice that includes mudras/meditation and is explained clearly and pleasantly. She includes some Kundalini Yoga in this DVD with Breath of Fire and other breathing exercises and practice. I have the Director's Cut DVD, which costs a little more. I'm not sure the difference between this 2002 release verses the 2004 release. Mine includes some blooper clips, which are fun, fun, fun. Also, this yoga practice doesn't end dramatically with advertising or load obnoxious music like many DVDs; it ends with beautiful music where you can continue your mediation.
