Summary: Balanced Sequence for the Experienced Practitioner
Review: Don't be put off by the title - foremost this CD set offers a well-rounded flow of asanas that are complemented by the chanting at the end of the second CD. Jai Uttal's music is ideal accompaniment. Rea has, as usual, designed the tracks to be accessible for different needs - length of time, type of practice, time of day, etc. I especially apprecite the gems of poetry (Hafiz) and thought (Upanishads) she has interspersed with her instruction. Altogether a worthwhile purchase!

Summary: The next step for the person who knows sun salutation
Review: Shiva Rea teaches at Sacred Movement in Santa Monica and does workshops around the country. After attending her workshop I needed a more regular experience of her enthusiasm, presence, and serious wisdom. While this CD is more a reminder of the experience than the experience, you'll still work hard and then find deep peace. The chanting / Om part unexpectedly opened my chest and allowed for my breath to really vibrate deep in my chest while doing asanas. Very cool.
