Movie Reviews of Shiva Rea - Fluid Power - Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Movie Review: Eat, pray, SHIVA
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is worth every penny - over 4 hours of vinyasa in a matrix format! Shiva leads you in a quiet, soothing voice through her workout which is set in a charming desert, among other places. You get to mess with a matrix which allows you to pick which poses you want to team together and which part of your body you'd rather do. Additional meditation clips are also included.
However, the most important thing is how you feel once you work with her through just 1 or 2 clips! She has an amazing way of relaxing you while working your every muscle with these poses!! I highly recommend her. If you want just one, do her Shakti DVD though!
Movie Review: Fluid Power
Summary: 4 Stars
It is not for beginners and the stretches are not held as long as I like, but it is still a good video with many options.Movie Review: Not for the yoga beginner
Summary: 2 Stars
I have worked with Shiva Rea's yoga shakthi and Radiant Heart and really like her style of teaching. Not sure though what she was thinking with this one. She flays limbs around wildly with quick flow instructions, a beginner or even intermediate yoga person can easily injure body parts by wiggling in this fashion. It is good to be creative in any exercise form but yoga is meant to introduce stillness and stretching, it is not a dance form. Also teachers like Shiva must introduce level of complexity, meant for beginners, intermediate or advanced yoga, not for all. Clearly this is for advanced, and even there for those who can wiggle body parts without risk of injury.Movie Review: I'll sit this dance out
Summary: 3 Stars
I just returned this DVD to the store after giving it a whirl. Not what I was looking for. Right off the bat, Shiva started swaying her hips and rotating her arms around in some odd, fast pattern, without any guidance. Huh? I just want to emphasize for potential buyers that the style of her yoga in this DVD involves more dance-like movements than the product description emphasizes. Insert "lots of spiraly swaying and coordination" for "fluid power." Anyone been to a good rave lately? Alright, alright, it's not that extreme, but this DVD is quite unique and probably not suited for beginner and intermediate folks looking for a DVD to help them practice the basics more consistently at home. I have been an informal student of traditional yoga (the asanas and the philosophic system) for the past ten years, and this DVD's approach really turned me off. Obviously, Shiva Rea can move however she wants to and teach however she wants to -- and aesthetically the result on this DVD is quite beautiful. Definitely unique, and it may be a great buy for those who love dancing and coloring outside of the lines.Movie Review: different than what I'm used to
Summary: 4 Stars
I haven't tried all the parts to this DVD, but it seems great so far, just a different type of yoga workout than I'm used to. I think her style is a great way to switch things up and become more fluid and flexible. She includes more advanced techniques if you chose to do them. It didn't seem like I got much of a workout while I was doing it, but I was sore in new places the next day.
