Book Review: Shiva Does it Again!
Summary: 5 Stars
(I am updating this review from 4/22. As of right now there is a track error on this double CD set. The Yoga Mala on Disc I is reapeated by mistake on Disc II on Track 2 which is supposed to be a hip opening flow. The CD has to be remastered and then rereleased. Just wanted to let people know about this as you may want to wait to get your copy until the problem is resolved. Sounds True is the company that put out the CD. They can be contacted at 800-333-9185 for more information about a rerelease.)
Finally! A Shiva Rea Fluid Yoga practice for my iTunes! Over two hours of programmable practice, similar in structure to the Yoga Shakti and Fluid Power matricies; meaning you can do a preset flow or create your own flow based on your needs and how much time you have.
I did my first practice from these CDs this morning. I did the entire solar flow and about half of the lunar flow. I was very challenged and feel very worked out in the afterwards. (And I have been doing Shiva yoga or Shiva style yoga for going on 4 years now). I can see how someone who is new to Shiva Rea yoga might have to look at the photos in the 33 pg CD booklet while doing the practice the first few times to be sure to be doing the asanas correctly. She does use the Sanskrit names for poses as well as the English names and to me her instruction is clear and concise.
The solar practice focuses very heavily on backbends and arm balances. On Yoga Shakti and Fluid Power, I tend to focus more on hip opening and less on back bends and arm balances, so this is less experienced ground for me, especially in the realm of backbends which I have to be very careful with. Her backbend instruction is very concise and I felt relatively safe doing it. The arm balance wave flow is a kicker: Bakasana in wave 2, Galavasana prep and Galavasana in wave 3 and Parsva Bakasana in wave 4 was a LOT of arm balance and core strengthening work!
I really like the way she ties the Fluid Power concepts of moving in waves to the more traditional Yoga Shakti style by constantly offering the practitioner the option of doing the wave-like movements of Fluid Power or "marinating in the pose" in the more traditional way.
There is no specific abdominal sequence, but after all that arm balancing work, I felt fully worked out in the abdominal area.
I found the Shavasana to be a little odd: a folky type song with lyrics seemed to keep me from really going down into my restorative place, but different strokes for different folks. It doesn't take anything away from my five star review.
I can't wait to do the parts of the Lunar Wave Progressions that I didn't do today. THANK YOU, Shiva for another beautiful, heart opening, joy inspiring and challenging teaching.
Summary of Yoga Wave
"Wave motion is the movement of life," teaches yogini Shiva Rea. Just as every cycle of nature is expressed as a wave form, every movement and posture in Shiva Rea's yoga is a flowing wave that unlocks the health, vitality, and creativity of your body. On Yoga Wave, this world-renowned instructor invites you to turn your yoga practice into a communion with the fundamental cyclical principle that nourishes the evolution of all life.Shiva Rea uses an approach she calls "wave sequencing" to help you create your own comprehensive experience of fluid yoga. Taking you beyond yoga focused solely on individual poses, Shiva's approach on Yoga Wave is to guide you gracefully and naturally through a series of postures and asanas that become a single transformative flow. With progressions that combine the meditative (lunar) practices with the physical (solar) practices, she gives you all the tools you need to build and expand your home practice to enhance your vitality, fluidity, and creative energy. This new guided audio program features:
* CD One: Solar Wave progressions for strength and flexibility, energizing exercises perfect for athletic beginners to intermediate practitioners
* CD Two: Meditative Lunar Wave progressions that focus on breath and energy flow, excellent for building confidence for beginners or creating a balanced practice for experienced yoga lovers
Yoga Journal recognizes Shiva Rea's flow approach as the most significant new evolution of American yoga. Join Shiva Rea on Yoga Wave to experience this ecstatic, movement-centered unfolding of the yoga tradition.
