Product: Yoga for Surfers 2: Fluid Power Yoga [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
Fun, Challenging, and Meditative
This is another wonderful DVD by Peggy Hall. The scenery is beautiful and music is lively. Even for non-surfers this is a great practice to connection with the earth, ocean, and air. I am not a burn and sweat "Power Yoga" lover, but I liked this practice, as it was not too fast.Peggy starts out with a spinal warm-up rather than "powering" right into the vinyasa flow. The vinyasa flow is very presented beautifully and with just enough instruction. With each cycle she add on one additional pose. The only thing I would like different is that she doesn't give enough time between each cycle at mountain pose to make the mind/body connection.My favorite part of the practice is the balancing session. She includes a nice challenging balance flow. Then a final relaxation with stretches and twists ends the practice. She walks you through a visualization of sitting on the beach that is beautifully presented and energizing.As a bonus you get an Increase Lung Capacity practice that includes mudras/meditation and is explained clearly and pleasantly. She includes some Kundalini Yoga in this DVD with Breath of Fire and other breathing exercises and practice.I have the Director's Cut DVD, which costs a little more. I'm not sure the difference between this 2002 release verses the 2004 release. Mine includes some blooper clips, which are fun, fun, fun. Also, this yoga practice doesn't end dramatically with advertising or load obnoxious music like many DVDs; it ends with beautiful music where you can continue your mediation.
