Yoga Journal's Ashtanga Yoga: An Active Practice, Introductory Poses offers another take on the gamut (or glut) of yoga videos out there. Instead of picking the "time crunched yoga workout" or "weight-loss/relaxation/back/stomach" workout theme, Yoga Journal's Ashtanga Yoga presents a straightforward, old-fashioned set of beginner asanas (poses) in the rigorous Ashtanga method. Ashtanga yoga places emphasis on focusing inward, using "breath-synchonized movement" to flow from pose to pose in a precise order. This is not a "yoga's greatest hits" composite stretching video, but rather an introduction to a very specific method of practice. The video begins with some chanting in the hero pose, and instructor Nicki Doane invites viewers to repeat along after her. While standing on a scenic ledge in Hawaii, Doane slowly demonstrates the two beginning series, Sun Salutation A and B, which include familiar poses such as warrior, plank, and downward dog. Her instruction style and voice is markedly different from the dreamy and almost soporific likes of Patricia Waldon or Susanne Deason. Doane keeps the viewer "active" by punctuating the silences with her strong, almost stern voice and demonstrating each pose with her incredibly strong body. This viewer lost count as to how many "pushups" she does from plank to upward dog positions. The 60-minute tape covers ujjayi breathing and a few cursory poses outside of the familiar Sun Salutation, and could serve as either a basic wake-up sort of video, or merely an introduction to very basic poses. Viewers with this solid base introduction to the flow of Ashtanga yoga practice will be well-prepared for the next step. --Gilia Angell

Synopsis

Ashtanga Yoga: Introductory Poses - Master the Essentials features instructor Nicki Doane leading the viewer through a series of beginning poses and stretches designed to introduce people to the benefits of Yoga. Some true beginners may find the level of this workout more challenging than helpful, but those with a rudimentary understanding of Yoga should find this release worthwhile. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

1.0étoiles sur 5 Disappointed, Aoû 11 2007
I was very disappointed with this dvd. I have been practicing yoga for just over a year so perhaps this dvd didn't offer enough of a challenge for me. I found that overall it was quite boring. Nicki's instructions were very expressionless and while I usually enjoy the sun salutations, somehow doing them five times in a row was not very exciting. Nicki also didn't offer very much advice as to how to do the poses - even when I watched the 'detailed' explanation of the pose (so I imagine this would be difficult if this was your first time doing them).

Another con to this dvd, in my opinion, was all of the religious reference. I practice yoga for relaxation and exercise - I have no interest in worshiping the sun or chanting.

On a positive note, the scenery was beautiful. Also, in watching the interview with Nicki afterwards, I was surprised to see how enthusiastic she is about yoga. If she could somehow bring her excitement for yoga into the session, this dvd would be greatly improved.

5.0étoiles sur 5 This is Genuine, Authentic Yoga!, Mai 7 2005
Par Frejya Evenstar (Calgary, Alberta) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I've been practicing yoga for approximately 10 years, but only casually and have not really devoted myself to it. I have quite a few yoga workouts on video & DVD. I give this DVD 5 stars because this is the first time I have seen and heard an instructor unapologetically portray yoga in it's authentic form, leading us into a traditional sanskrit chant, using the sanskrit words for the poses (asanas), and openly acknowledging and honouring her yogi. Traditional yoga in India is much more about breath and meditation and attaining spiritual equilibrium and balance than about the moves themselves, and this DVD is a great introduction to the essential roots of yoga practice.

In all the other videos and DVDs I have, yoga is merely portrayed as a form of exercise, but it is so much more. Even though I am a typical lazy westerner and don't have the patience or discipline to devote my life to anything, I really appreciate learning yoga from people who really understand the core essence of yoga and live it, as it is a demanding (and probably very rewarding) way of life.

As for the workout itself, it is challenging! And yes, you do need to develop strength (especially upper body strength) and stamina before mastering these simple, yet challenging poses. I find that the more slowly I do the poses, the more challenging they are and the more I feel the heat coming from within that Nicki talks about, and the better I feel afterwards.

Thank you Nicki! Namaste .....

5.0étoiles sur 5 Namaste, Fév 24 2004
Par C. D Pulaski "filmfan" (Severn, MD United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This DVD is excellent. Nicki Doane is a wonderful instructor who is inspiring without being preachy. This is the first time I have ever attempted a yoga workout, and I must say it is more difficult than I imagined. Nicki walks you through every step and uses repetition so you feel as if you have memorized every step even after the first viewing.

I bought this DVD with the Beginner's Practice DVD and now realize I was WAY ahead of myself. The Beginner's Practice DVD is much faster and more difficult and introduces new poses, but the first 45 mins or so are great if you want to do the sun salutations at a faster pace.

All in all I do not regret buying this DVD at all. I have tried many different work-out DVDs and this is one that has kept my attention.
