Yoga Video Review

Today I did the yoga DVD "Shiva Rea Flow Yoga for Beginners." Here is my opinion:

Pros:
An excellent instructor, with top notch verbal instructions that really help you to understand the movements.

Probably the most visually appealing video I've ever seen (and I've seen hundreds). The background scenery changes with the videos sections. Each time, the scenery is excellent and very appropriate. Just beautiful.

Safe. The instructor explained things very well and included instructions on what strengths were required for certain movements. Also, not a single crazy, dangerous pose! Wow!

Very calming.

Enough variety to hold interest, yet still relaxing.

Cons:

The instructor, like many yoga instructors, is very flexible and has seemed to have forgotten what "beginner" means. Even though she gives some options if you are not as flexible as her, even the options require considerable flexibility.

Other:

70 minutes long.

Overall:

It's a good yoga DVD. I would give it 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. I recommend it!
