Movie Reviews of Yoga: Gentle Practice
Movie Review: Find the subtlety in your practice
Summary: 5 Stars
As a daily practitioner of over 10 years I have a lot of yoga DVD's, but Zyrka's three releases are among my favorites. I started with this one and enjoy using it, it is a serene stretching sequence for the days when I want to go deeply into the subleties of the practice, or when I have soreness or need to slow down and recalibrate. Not sure why anyone would buy a Gentle Practice DVD and expect a power workout.
I personally prefer the six pre-designed sequences included here to those disjointed matrix DVD's. The transitions flow smoothly and I don't have to remember how to put a balanced practice together. The quality of the filming in this release is good, the sound is clear, the music is appropriate and subtle. I am fine with a simple setting--primarily it's the quality of the teaching that matters to me. Zyrka is first-rate, providing accurate queuing and refinements that are helpful, as well as very specific breathing instruction that will help a beginner to feel connected to what they are doing. If you are looking for yoga instruction for slowly penetrating your openings and edges then you will enjoy this. If you already like this one, I'd recommend Erich Schiffman's "Beginning Yoga" which you can find on his site.
