Movie Reviews of Chakra Balancing Yoga
Movie Review: Relaxing, introspective yoga for those who know the poses
Summary: 5 Stars
This is really beautifully done. The setting, lighting, sweeping & close & far camera angles are beautiful. It also shows part of the members of the musicians that are playing during the session. Sharon is in voice over except for the chanting the mantras for each chakra so that you can also choose music only. Because there is no direction on how to do the poses, this is not for newbies. I wish there was more reminders on how each pose helps the emotions/spirit in detail and/or the organs even if it's a separate voice over option. For newbies a separate voice over giving pose instruction at least a little would also be a great addition to get a wider audience.
For each chakra, you do a few poses & hold them for a nice amount of time, to reflect on the subjects she recommends or your own as well as to chant in almost a partial song style of that 1 word for that chakra.
Root Chakra (survival) LAM - (thankful for home/blessings/thoughts to father, then mother, then career, earth) Poses Held: downward dog, warrior 2, triangle, standing on toes (poses also used quickly - plank, cobra, upward dog, standing fwd bend, mountain)
2nd Chakra (sexual/creativity) VAM - (blessings to unresolved business/romantic ties) Held: sitting fwd bend, lean back/fwd sitting fwd bends, single leg fwd bend, butterfly
3rd Chakra (respect for self/others) RAM - (blessings to people you have hurt & animals hurt/eaten) seated twist, simple bent knee seated twist
4th Chakra (love) YAM (forgive others who hurt you) reclined rest, sphinx, bow, down dog, camel, bridge, wheel, reclined knees to chest (up dog)
5th Chakra (releasing cynicism, purifying communication, releasing negative thoughts) HAM (I see myself as a holy being) shoulder stand, plow, plow w/knees to ears, fish, child's pose
6th Chakra OM (purify relationship w/divine) headstand (or half), child's pose
7th Chakra OM (releasing doubt, humility, past teachers) child's pose
Savasana/Rest (going over the chakras)
It ends w/Sharon playing a Harmonium & lightly singing w/no words which is really lovely & to me was the best way to get me to sense energy.
