Certified instructor description:
Endlessly moving and always flowing, it's an exceptionally graceful approach to yoga (“rhythmic and energetic … our fluid bodies are pulsating”). These classic Vinyasa yoga “poses” are never static. Instead, Shiva Rea integrates these familiar poses into fluid patterns and sensuous motions (even the lying positions feature wave-like movements). Your workout is totally customizable. The DVD has 213 minutes of yoga in 20 chapters. You just program your DVD player to play any or all chapters in any sequence. Or you can choose one of six premixed workouts (20 to 108 minutes each). Beautifully filmed at White Sands National Monument, the production quality is truly stunning. Includes a second 30-minute documentary DVD and a 24-page program guide. ©2006.
