Summary: Mr. Blissology Strikes Again !!
Review: If only every video was this knowledgable! Eoin is truly a master teacher in the art of keeping the student focused on the external alignment of the movement as well as the internal sensations within your body. It is an art to talk you through many poses but still have you experience and stay in touch with your inner being. A concept that is often missing in yoga videos! The location is stunning and the students embody every level of flexibility and control. We have shared this video with many friends in our yoga community and they are all greatful for Eoin's work. "It's all good!" The blissology talk is inspirational and makes the planet a friendlier place. Can't wait for his next video, I know it is gonna make us all happy!

Summary: A good workout, but a bit too much chatter...
Review: This dvd is a good power yoga workout, but with alot of constant and unneccessary chatter. If you can get beyond his silly "breathe in like sweet cherry nectar" type comments the workout itself is solid. He never stops talking a mile a minute which makes any relaxing aspect of this practice non-existant. The setting is attractive, on a beach in Canada, and his students are in great shape. This is not a dvd for those that aren't experienced in yoga & the posture names. He moves along at a quick clip and looking at the tv would be a challenge if you didn't understand the directions. This is a dvd that I like to use once a week or so - there is a 45 minute short form that is preferred because I can't handle much more chatter than that!

Summary: Keeps it real
Review: This is a fantastic workout with both the long and short version and Eoin Finn is a fantastic instructor...I read the reviews and some people enjoy an instructor who talks and those who just instruct...I personally enjoy someone real who talks to me instead of an autotron going through the motions of the poses. Eoin is very good at communicating and keeping things light during the routines.

Summary: Hmmm.
Review: This is a great session which offers significant challenges to the beginning to intermediate yogi in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. Eoin apparently studied with Bryan Kest, and you can see the influences at work in the way the poses are linked so as to accumulate heat and blood flow in specific areas (especially legs) over several related poses. In this sense the disc is like Bryan Kest 2, Tone. This approach allows you to sink deeply into the poses and builds strength more than in the more Vinyasa-centered practices like Baron Baptiste's Hot Yoga 3 and David Swenson's sessions. The overall arrangement of poses is also similar to Bryan Kest or Baron Baptiste, though the coaching on form and breathing is different and can give you some interesting new insights and ways to approach your practice. Like Bryan, Eoin also gives you time to explore the positions of the sun salutation, which I like very much. Beautiful to look at and soothing to do, this disc comes very close to that optimal balance between energy, heat, sensation and opening that makes good power yoga so good. This is a comprehensive, challenging workout but it definitely approachable to anyone familiar with Bryan Kest's or Baron Baptiste's harder sessions. If you like Bryan or Baron's work, try this disc for a new approach to the core power yoga practice. As far as Eoin's commentary and coaching goes, I think his expressions are sincere and well-intentioned (if a little over the top) and his gentleness is soothing. After all, he's a Canadian surfer, so of course he's going to sound a little goofy! He seems like a very gentle person and I just can't get annoyed with him. The DVD includes a full length 76 minute session and a shorter 45 minute session. The disc also includes very useful mini-tutorials for beginners and others on how to do up dog, down dog and the whole vinyasa sequence. Eoin also explains specifically how to modify the poses for beginners.

Summary: The Best Video I have seen to date
Review: This is by far the best Yoga video I have ever seen. The scenery is incredible, the routine is hard but not impossible for a beginner/intermediate like me. I love the instructor. I find his comments inspiring. I like his lighthearted nature. It is rare that a yoga video can be inspiring, challenging and fun at the same time! I would recommend this video to althetic beginners, and intermediates. Namaste
