Description:

The formatting of Kripalu Yoga ensures variety for participants of all experience levels. The three separate programs on this disc are "Gentle Yoga," "Dynamic Yoga," and "Partner Yoga." Each of these sessions promotes body awareness and encourages students to work within their flexibility range by offering modified postures. "Gentle Yoga" includes two 30-minute flows with standing and floor postures, balancing poses, and centering exercises for beginners and advanced students alike. The "Dynamic Yoga" workout takes a meditative approach to movement while focusing on the core of the body (and breathing). Familiar postures like warrior and triangle are performed with greater intensity and repetition than in the "Gentle" segment. Spanning just over an hour, this session offers an intermediate workout that incorporates challenging poses and continuity. Despite the increased difficulty level here, participants of all levels should find this section approachable. Lastly, Kripalu uses an unconventional application of traditional yoga poses in Partner Yoga. This workout runs approximately 60 minutes in length and highlights the strength- and flexibility-enhancing benefits of performing postures with a second person. Working with a partner while executing seated and standing poses can help increase balance and deepen the movement into poses. Although progressive in thought, working with a second source of balance may seem corny and inconvenient for some participants (a diagram is included with this DVD in case of any confusion on specific partner posture formation). Both convenient and easy to navigate, this DVD presentation ranks high for its content and layout. --Olivia Voigts
