re-titled dvd previously called "core power: flow yoga workout"
If you liked Sadie Nardini's DVD's (no coincidence, the instructor is core strength vinyasa certified) and even Shiva Rea, you will probably like this one as well. There are 5 practices , one 40~ min practice, 2 60~ min. & two 75~ min.(one is core , arm balances and hip openers and the second is creative flow and backbends). some footage repeats itself obviously , but some is unique to every practice. The pace is nice, fast, but not too fast, no long holds. lots of vinyasas & arm balances - handstands, forearm balance, dragonfly, side crow, side plank, crow etc. In the backbends sequence there are bow and 3 rounds of wheel. There are a lot of standing balances as well and nice sequencing like - eagle pose to warrior 1 with eagle arms or side angle to side plank. Every practice has some supine core work and ends with some great long forward bends, supine stretches and hip openers (like pigeon). Even if you're not that advanced it's easy to modify if you know how to. The instructor is...
Intermediate yoga practice
I bought this video in search of advanced arm balances. Advanced Vinyasa Flow Yoga is more of an intermediate sequence in my opinion. She includes multiple flow sequences that are really just variations of the same sequence. Her arm balance sequence involves a crane pose and a side crane pose. I enjoy her video as a basic flow practice, but prefer Rodney Yee's "Advanced Yoga" and Shiva Rea's "Yoga Shakti" for arm balances.
ok...
the instructor is a bit annoying. the video is pretty boring to watch. i know it's not about watching but i do like when they at least have a pretty background or setting. the video looks just like the cover. white.
