Wednesday Review: Yoga Shakti with Shiva Rea
After many MANY months without yoga, I’ve started practicing once again. Since I can barely keep track of my right and my left in English, doing Vinyasa (flow) yoga in Danish is definitely not an option. So I’m grateful for Shiva Rea - Yoga Shakti.
Centered around various combinations of the sun salutations, the DVD offers the perfect practice for not-still-a-beginner but not-yet-a-yogi practitioners. You can choose from several pre-set practices, most of which are 30-45 minutes log. But the really great part is that you can also use the ‘yoga matrix’ to create your own practice. It’s easy to choose from a collection of poses so one week you can do sun salutation, standing poses, and shoulder openings. Then the next time you can do backbends, twists, and warrior series. The instructions are clear, the pace is well measured, and Shiva Rea offers the more challenging poses in different stages so you can advance as you get stronger and more flexible. The video is shot in India, mostly on the coast, with the sound of the tides and shot only in natural light. It’s beautiful, satisfying, and will hold your interest for many practices to come. Today’s Flavor: Gettin’ Strong and Flexible.
