Movie Reviews of The Power of Hatha Yoga: Ultimate Series
Movie Review: This is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is great!
I disagree with the other reviewer that this is faulty instruction, but I do agree that it lacks the menu and chaptering. You need to know that this is an intermediate practice, so the poses are not explained in detail. It also assumes you are able to determine your own level of practice and what your body can endure (definitely an intermediate practice)!
I love this practice and Naadar Shagagi will give you reminders about the postures and especially your breath. You will increase your will, concentration, strength, and flexibility by practicing this routine. I also would like to mention if you practice Bikram yoga that you will enjoy this DVD. It is somewhat similar, but will take you a level further than Bikram's beginner's class. The sun salutation, shoulderstand, fish, and many other posture are not in Bikram's routine. I would recommend practicing in a warm room for the most benefit. I love the music, especially at the end.
The first 40 min are standing postures, then a rest, then on to floor postures. Total practice is about 1.5 hours.
Here's the sequence of his practice:
Standing Paranayama (Breathing)
Sun Salutation (2 rounds)
Half Moon (2 variations)
Akward Pose (Naadar's performace is beautiful!)
Eagle
Triangle ( 4 variations)
Wide Leg forward bend
Warrior variations
Tree
Savasana (rest)
Leg Lifts
Knees to Chest (with forhead to knees to activate your thyroid gland)
Forward Bend
Cobra
Airplace
Lotus
Bow
Full Cobra
Half Tortoise
Knee Reclining
Rabbit
Camel
Inversion (should stand and plough with a great, long hold!)
Fish (advanced variation)
Bridge
Backbend (I love this!)
Alternating 1 leg forward bend
Forward Bend
Easy Pose (legs cross and forward bend)
Spinal Twist
Kalibati (Breath of fire)
Relaxation
Your own Meditation
The only thing I might mention is with some of the standing poses Naadar is not able to keep his knees together. You want to make sure you keep your knees together, but since this is intermediate you knew that already ;o)
Naadar is a beautiful, kind person and reminds you that Confidence = Courage = Strength :o)
