Movie Reviews of Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga: Total Body Transformation and Weight Loss with Sadie Nardini
Movie Review: Transformative and inspiring yoga DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
They say that when the student is ready, the teacher will appear and this was true for me and coming across Sadie and her empowering style of yoga known as Core Strength Vinyasa (CSV).
Last November (2008) a friend emailed me a link to a company that makes custom yoga mats. On the front page of this company's website was a box promoting Sadie Nardini and CSV. Clicking box this led to Sadie's website and from that starting point I explored her numerous YouTube videos and various podcasts.
I was genuinely amazed ... as a relatively new yoga teacher (2.5 years at that point) I am always looking for ways to inspire my students, offering them yoga that is fun, safe yet challenging, and most of all therapeutic and transformative. And that is what Sadie teaches! The clarity of her presentation is excellent.
I have spent literally thousands of dollars on live yoga workshops and programs during my "yoga career". Some were good, some so-so, and some a waste of money. What Sadie offers is among the highest quality instruction you will find anywhere.
Even more amazing is that she takes the time to read and respond to emails she receives. If you have a question about CSV you can email her and she will reply! Wow! Even though I have never met her in person I can tell that she really cares.
This new DVD from Sadie is simply one of the very best yoga DVDs I have seen. I have looked at numerous yoga DVDs and truly the world of yoga is been blessed with some wonderful, dedicated teachers.
However, relatively few DVDs are sensitive to the journey of an evolving personal yoga practice explaining the "seed" of a pose and the steps necessary to grow into the full expression of the pose.
When I started practicing yoga it took me two years to master Crow Pose and that was because none of the teachers with whom I was taking classes explained the steps involved. Finally one teacher was kind enough to take time with me and take me through it step-by-step until I mastered it.
Sadie is that kind of teacher. On this DVD she explains the steps necessary to rock a Crow, to jump into Crow, to master Handstand, and more. All within the context of a strong core-centered vinyasa flow that will strengthen and tone you from inside out.
This is one important aspect of Core Strength Vinyasa. We tend to be strong in our major outer muscles like quadriceps and hamstrings, gluteals, back muscles, etc, but weaker and less aware or connected to our deep core muscles.
CSV is about contacting and really "making friends" with your deep core muscles so you can be strong and stable in every pose. Every pose is generated from the core whether it is Mountain, Chair, Triangle, Warrior I/II/III, Half Moon, Eagle, or something else.
As you work with this DVD you will become very strong in your core muscles and this will make every pose much easier and more refined. It will also have the added benefit of improving your posture.
However, CSV also has a "mental side" to it. All of us tend to "put out" a lot of energy in our daily activities. This is especially true if you are in a health care type profession such as me (I am a Licensed Bodyworker in addition to being a Yoga Instructor). Finding our personal boundaries and staying grounded and centered can be very challenging when people need your help.
Core Strength Vinyasa teaches you how to be core-centered in your daily life away from the mat. Through Sadie's cueing, what you experience in your body will flow on into your psyche leaving you feeling empowered and better able to remain authentic throughout the rest of your day.
I highly recommend this DVD ... it really is completely worth the money and will give you a lot of insight and personal enjoyment. I have been practicing with it daily since I received it several weeks ago, and it has helped me tremendously already.
It contains the best of Sadie's teaching which has been transformative in both my own life, and the lives of my students (as I share what I am learning with them) during the past 8 months. Thank you so much Sadie!
