Kripalu Yoga description
The formatting of Kripalu Yoga ensures variety for participants of all experience levels. The three separate programs on this disc are "Gentle Yoga," "Dynamic Yoga," and "Partner Yoga." Each of these sessions promotes body awareness and encourages students to work within their flexibility range by offering modified postures. "Gentle Yoga" includes two 30-minute flows with standing and floor postures, balancing poses, and centering exercises for beginners and advanced students alike. The "Dynamic Yoga" workout takes a meditative approach to movement while focusing on the core of the body (and breathing). Familiar postures like warrior and triangle are performed with greater intensity and repetition than in the "Gentle" segment. Spanning just over an hour, this session offers an intermediate workout that incorporates challenging poses and continuity. Despite the increased difficulty level here, participants of all levels should find this section approachable. Lastly, Kripalu uses an unconventional application of traditional yoga poses in Partner Yoga. This workout runs approximately 60 minutes in length and highlights the strength- and flexibility-enhancing benefits of performing postures with a second person. Working with a partner while executing seated and standing poses can help increase balance and deepen the movement into poses. Although progressive in thought, working with a second source of balance may seem corny and inconvenient for some participants (a diagram is included with this DVD in case of any confusion on specific partner posture formation). Both convenient and easy to navigate, this DVD presentation ranks high for its content and layout. --Olivia Voigts

♥♥♥♥ A Real Yoga Practice, highly recommended
If you would like a "real" yoga experience, I would highly recommend this practice. These 3 sessions were previously published on 3 VHS tapes and you get them all on one DVD. It's a bargin for the price. Over 3 hours of practice!

One you get a beginner's workout, excellent instruction and even a good practice for experienced yogis on easy days. You can do either 1/2 hour session, or do together for a full hour.

Two, Couples practice. Well instructed and fun! You even get a poster of all the poses so you can practice on your own time. I found it to be a lovely way to connect with my partner. We practice yoga together, balancing each other (and looking in each other's eyes to feel our love).

Third (and the best), is the intermediate workout (Dynamic Yoga). Stephen Cope has a very soothing voice, challenging poses held for a good amount of time with plenty of time between poses to connect and meditate. Thoughout the practice he will have you ask yourself "how do you feel today?" He doesn't talk too much and the last part of the practice you tune into your own feelings, listening to what your body needs, and do the poses that feel right for you. Very nice relaxation at the end (and not rushed). I love this workout! I find it very self-enlightening and challenging. I feel so good afterwards.

Also, the menu system on the DVD is layed out very well. Easy to choose which session and where you want to start (you can bypass the intro/talking). My only complaint might be that the participants in the class are a bit serious. Not a big deal though.

See my other yoga DVD reviews on Amazon. Namaste.
