Reader's Review: Beautiful lunar flows

"Lunar Flow" is a subset of Shiva Rea's "Yoga Shakti". It contains the same content, but is sequenced differently than it is on Yoga Shakti.

The DVD is chaptered: Lunar flow; Backbend flow basic; Backbend flow intermediate and Meditative flow. There's a yoga matrix that lets you customize your practice, from these 4 chapters.

Lunar flow chapter consists of:

lunar meditation 3:31 minutes
prana yoga 7:09 minutes
supine poses 6:32 minutes
inversions 7:00 minutes
meditation 5:00 minutes
shavasana 4:48 minutes

total: 33 minutes

Backbend flow basic chapter consists of:

lunar meditation 3:31 minutes
chandra namaskar 9:00 minutes
standing backbend prep 4:40 minutes
backbend flow basic 5:00 minutes
supine poses 6:32 minutes
shavasana 4:48 minutes

total 33:31 minutes

Backbend flow intermediate chapter consists of:

surya meditation 4:00 minutes
chandra namaskar 9:00 minutes
standing backbend prep 4:40 minutes
lunges 5:25 minutes
backbend flow basic 5:00 minutes
backbend flow 1 8:40 minutes
backbend flow 2 6:47 minutes
forward bends & twists 15:50 minutes
inversions 7:00 minutes
pranayama 8:00 minutes
Shavasana 4:48 minutes

total 1 hr. 20 minutes

Meditative flow chapter consists of:

lunar meditation 3:31 minutes
forward bends & twists 15:50 minutes
pranayama 8:00 minutes
meditation 5:00 minutes
shavasana 4:48 minutes

total 37:09 minutes

These vinyasa flow practices (excluding "inversions" and "meditation") are fluid and Shiva performs them alone on the gorgeous beaches of Maldives' Cocoa Island and Kerala, India. It's so serene and the flows are so calming. The cueing is done in voice-over and I found Shiva's voice and music to be soothing. These flows are more on the basic side than on the advanced side (except for the inversions), but it is not instructional yoga. However, I think that someone new to yoga can still follow along.

"Inversions" and "Meditation" are filmed indoors and Shiva performs shoulder stands in "Inversions". I have not been practicing yoga for very long and have to skip the "inversions" section for now, as it is too difficult for me.

I recommend purchasing Shiva Rea's "Yoga Shakti" because it contains 4 yoga workouts: "Basic Flow" (which is the same as "Sun Salutations" by Shiva Rea,) "Solar Flow 1" (which is the same as "Solar Flow Yoga" by Shiva Rea), "Solar Flow 2" and "Lunar Flow". It also has a yoga matrix that allows you to customize your workout and includes a 2nd disc with extras on it (extra shakti and pranams, interview with Shiva, techniques of vinyasa flow yoga, etc.). It also comes with a study guide booklet.

There's a video clip of "Lunar Flow" at Sounds True website.

Reader's Review: Just a subset of Yoga Shakti :o(

I ordered this in hopes of having more Lunar Yoga practices than Shiva's Yoga Shakti DVD, but it is just a repeat of Yoga Shakti!!! You're better of buying the full Yoga Shakti DVD for another 6-bucks which includes this practice and more. I absolutely LOVE the Yoga Shakti DVD and would highly recommend that instead!

Please see my other DVD reviews on Amazon, including Yoga Shakti ;o)
