Well done yoga dvd.....
I would say this dvd is "awesome", but Tara kind of turned me off of saying that when I heard her use it over and over in this dvd....that would be my only "con" on a really well put together dvd. I like yoga and I do it at least once or twice a week to keep flexible and to get that great "balanced" feeling that only yoga can provide to me. I have never done Tara Stiles, but have done Rodney Yee, Erich Schiffman, Yoga Zone, Brian Kest, Sara Ivanhoe & Shiva Rea. The thing about yoga is each teacher brings something unique and their own twist to this ancient practice, so it gives me a variety to fit my mood.
Tara's practice I would consider to be at an intermediate level and is about 50 minutes long. There are the normal, classic poses, chair, up dog, down dog, warrior one & two, twists, bridge/wheel, pigeon and many others. I thought this dvd flowed really well and I loved the twists, that really helped me relax along with, (as always) the deep breathing, which is the...
Feels like someone just recorded a yoga class
I am really not a fan of this DVD. The instructor doesn't do the asanas herself, but assists the other people, correcting their postures. The main problems with this is that you have to constantly be looking at the tv to see whats going on. She corrects the womens postures but doesn't explain this really to the viewer in a way we can ensure we are doing it correctly. I find she also talks really fast and it just starts feeling like annoying chatter, its not relaxing. She doesnt engage with the viewer, it is just like you are watching a video of someone teaching a yoga class to their students rather than teaching you. The setting is nice and the music is quite relaxing but the way that Tara teaches on this DVD is really not for me.
great yoga dvd!
I really enjoyed this yoga DVD. I have not done the meditation so cannot speak to that yet.
Tara Stiles leads the "class" live rather than via voiceover. The class takes place outside with three participants.
It is 50 minutes long but the last 5 minutes is Savasanna.
Poses I remember are: thread the needle, warrior 2, warrior 1, low lunge, reverse warrior, chair, tree, squat, side planks, bridge, half pigeon and regular pigeon, and lots of twists. There are also a lot of chatarungas and upward facing dogs, downward facing dogs, and standing forward bends. There are a lot of variations and modifications mentioned. The music is very very mellow.
The flow is very nice but you do work up a little sweat. Some poses I noticed not included are: crow, warrior 3, pose of the dancer, boat, bow, eagle, balancing stick, shoulder stands, and plow.
I think this is much more doable than the new york sessions from Tara Stiles and I can't...
