Vinyasa flow yoga is a form of yoga that uses asanas in flowing sequences and offers significant benefits. The DVD Shiva Rea: Daily Energy Vinyasa Flow Yoga offers a convenient at home vinyasa flow practice. Shiva Rea is one of the leading yoga experts in the United States and has created many resources for home practice, including a line of DVDs. This challenging practice offers something for everyone.
If you love yoga, but don’t have the time for 30, 45 or 60 minute practices, this DVD may be the perfect choice for you. Shiva Rea includes seven practices on the DVD, each 20 minutes in length. Even with a busy schedule, the practices are short enough to make time for your practice.
The practices are varied to meet your changing needs from day to day. The practices are named for elements, such as Earth, Heart and Air, Fire and Water and the practices include standing poses, backbends, and other sequences, depending on the practice you select. Regardless of the focus, all are set within a vinyasa flow series of asanas.
In addition to the yoga practices, the DVD contains two meditation practices. For days when you need more energy, the solar meditation provides active movements combined with meditation. The lunar meditation program provides seated meditation and breathing exercises, which are designed to help you relax and unwind.
This yoga DVD offers even more variety. You can use the practices offered on the DVD or build your own with the extensive range of options available on this comprehensive DVD. The Yoga Matrix allows you to personalize your practice to meet your needs.
Shiva Rea offers minimal verbal cues on this DVD. This can be a challenge, as well as a blessing. When you first try the DVD, you may want to take the time to watch it first to get the flow of the practice, particularly if you are new to yoga. Once you have learned the sequences, you will most likely appreciate the lack of constant chatter that is present on too many DVDs.
