 Very good routine & great value, but problems with dialogue October 25, 2008
I have been practicing hatha Yoga for about 10 years, and admittedly there are inconsistencies in my practice. A few months back I began Yoga teacher training to strengthen my practice and help other along their path. I purchased this set to work on specific areas, primarily my hamstrings and lower back. My previous experience in home study was mostly with the Sivananda Companion to Yoga and the teachings of Ashtanga guru David Swenson-both formidable sources for Yogis of any level.
Pros: I really like how much is included, and the layout of the set. The solar and lunar are complete routines, gently transitioning from one series of postures to another. There is a lot here and Shiva Rea is quite clearly an accomplished Yogi who manages to convey compassion with a very solid base of teachings.
Con: The dialogue! For my tastes, Rea tends towards excessive verbosity or the occasional lack of detail in describing positioning and breathing. On the solar disc, during the end portion of track 1 and beginning of track 3, it feels like you are just left hanging as Rea goes on and on. This might be what you are looking for the first time or thru two, but I didn't find it easy to find much of a rhythm with repeated use.
I haven't given up on this set, but I don't see it being the everyday routine I can groove with like I was hoping.
 A great yoga CD you can customize to your available time December 27, 2007
I needed help sleeping and use the PM yoga suggestions for a 30 minute session before bed. I love the options they suggest and have used many variations. Shiva R. has a nice calming voice. I highly recommend this CD.
A Place of Peace July 31, 2007
This is my first audio purchase so I can't compare it to other yoga CDs. I can say that I thoroughly enjoy the practice. It is actually a relief to listen without feeling like I have to look at the television when using a DVD. The cues are great!

I am so happy I found this cd! I started doing yoga at the gym about a month ago, but quickly found myself wanting something I could do anywhere, on the beach, in the woods, ect. I first bought Tracy Rich's Yoga Anywhere and was hugely disapointed as it was way too easy and could only be done in your home, not outside as she she asks you to use chairs, doorways, kitchen sinks ect.
This cd was my second try and I feel I got it right this time. The practice is challenging to me as a beginner which I like, I want to be able to practice and work on improving. I like that there are poses in this cd that I cannot already do. I feel like I've gotten a great workout after using this cd, one that comes close to actually going to class.
It will take some time of looking at the poses and coordinating the practice to know what she is telling me to do, but after a few times more of listening and looking I should have a great portable practice that I can do anywhere, anytime.
I am bringing this to Belize with me next month for the month so I can still do yoga even though I won't be able to make it to class. Thank you Shiva Rae!

I've had this CD set for about a year and a half now. It is one of the best investments I have made in my yoga practice. $20 is nothing for what this CD offers. Doing yoga at home to this CD, using combinations of various tracks has brought my yoga practice to a higher level. I notice it when I go to actual classes. It's nice to have the private space of one's home to work on poses. It's also nice to have guidance. So often I tell myself I'll just do the CD for 45 minutes. Next thing I know, it's an hour and 45 minutes later and I've just had a killer yoga session, feeling so much better than when I started. Shiva Rea has a great voice, great pacing, great music, great thoughts to inspire yoga practice, etc. This is a great way to save money on yoga classes. You can still go to class, just less often. I love that this is a CD rather than a DVD/video. I have no desire to do yoga with the TV on. Light some candles, set up your sacred yoga space, and get yoga-fied at home. Highly recommended.
