Beth Cholette wrote a great 4 star review on 10/25/06
So I don't have to type the content here. I also agree with someone's comments that there are a lot of 5 star review for 3/21 that are obviously shrills/fakes.It does have a nice feel, but there isn't enough teaching to make sure you do the poses correctly to avoid injury. She does well with the general basics, sometimes telling you when to inhale/exhale & she's VERY good about telling you the benefits of the poses for surfing or for stretching/strengthening those muscles, but no reminders on how not to do it, such as a sitting spinal twist the twist comes form the waist, don't force it from the upper chest or neck. I have been doing it for 5 years so I was ok, but she did a great shoulder stretch that felt good, but then I got lost how she did it & had to rewind. Also, during poses she was demonstrating, it would cut to the people surfing or even just a seagull flying over a beach. I know it's for surfers, but they can't go 20 min w/o seeing water? There are also several minute long interviews at each chapter, so you will have to fast fwd through that every time. At first I enjoyed the quick pace of the pre-surf session, thinking it would be great when I have little time, but it started to make me feel rushed because it's only held for 2 moderate speed breaths yet it's not meant to be power yoga.The trailer for the intro to each of their three dvds is on there site: yogaforsurfers comPreviews on totalvid com & youtube com
