Beautiful Yoga CD!!!!! - By: Yoni, 20 Apr 2004
This is my first yoga cd I ever bought after having lots of videos andbooks, I don't understand why Amazon don't sell it anymore cuz it seemslike a successful product. Anyway I bought it from soundstrue website at afair price.I've done the cd twice already & I love it, you have lots ofpossibilities on these 2 cd's of tailoring your own workouts which shementions in the nice booklet, you also get a beautiful big poster of alllthe asanas in the cd's by their order.In these yoga cd's there are a lotof challlenging poses like in the balancing track, but the overalll feelingI get from these cd's is very relaxing, probably because of Shiva'ssoothing voice & the beautiful music in the background, but youdefinetly get a good workout at a moderate pace.It is definetly a nicechange from the usual videos /dvd's we do since you don't have to squintat the tv!
Suitable for both beginner and intermediate level students - By: , 25 Aug 2000
The double CD covers pretty much everything from sun salutations A&B, standing & inverted postures, & stretching & relaxation. You can create/tailor your own practice, in terms of duration & what you want to cover, & examples of rounded sessions are given to fit into whatever time you have.

The CD comes with a poster showing photographs of alll the postures, including the steps taken to get into & out of them.

Although I feel this CD could be used by beginners, to get the most out of it I would suggest that you attend at least a few classes beforehand, otherwise it might be a little too fast with not enough explanation.

For intermediates, you can tailor the sessions to cover whatever you wish, & can relax your mind not having to worry about which asana to do next & just listen to the instructions.

My only real criticism is that not enough attention or instruction is given to breathing throughout the CD, which to beginners is vital. I also found that I couldn't breathe slowly enough to keep in pace with the instructions, & was therefore breathing unaturallly slowly. The music during the final relaxation was also too loud & distracting.

In summary, if you were to take out the music & speed it up a fraction, this CD would be very good.
