Rating: 4.0
MH wrote a great review I agree with
Yogi Hari is an older guy with a long flowing grey beard with voice-over that is soft but stong & isn't annoying. The session is done on a old wood dock near a lake. The music is very light with flute & other soft instruments. The entire dvd is 73 min with no chapters or menu options.It starts with 16 min of corpse pose neck stretching, chanting & seated breathing.Next is deeper neck stretching while sitting & great eye exercises for 10 min.Then the usual sun salutations of forward bends, plank, cobra & downward dogs for about 5 min.For 30 min you have warrior pose, dolphin, leg lifts, modified headstand w/spread legs as well, boat, fish, torso rocking, seated leg stretches w/spread legs as well, butterly, yogi rolls, cobra, locust, crow, child, simplified angle pose & forward bend.The relaxation is started w/him telling you to contract muscles individually & then pans to the scenery. You sit up & he chants to end the dvd.There is a lot of rests in between the poses for a few seconds except during the sun salutations.I felt stretched out a bit, I felt more relaxed by his slow pace, not annoyed. It was different the most mainstream yoga dvds I own, whereas they most times still make me aware of time passing. This I will do again, but not a favorite.
