Yoga Flow
Product Description
Explore the power and fluidity of yoga with this inspiring practice. This DVD features 8 yoga routines, ranging from 24 minutes to 75 minutes, each with a varying degree of difficulty. Unite breath and movement as Zyrka leads you through the sequences with her clear and soothing guidance. This intermediate practice introduces both dynamic flowing yoga sequences, plus the option to explore more traditional yoga practices such as yogic breathing (pranayama), using toning during practice (suyra yoga), and guided meditation (yoga nidra). These optional practices are part of what define the Saraswati River Yoga tradition, and can help to deepen your practice and bring a new level of stillness and awareness. This comprehensive program includes 3½ hours of footage filmed in high definition with stunning beach sequences and serene riverside routines. This DVD also includes a rich sound-track of traditional Indian grooves and modern ambient tones.

I was really looking forward to a more advanced yoga practice with this instructor, since I already have Gentle Vinyasa Flow and I use it more often than any of my other yoga DVDs. Zyrka’s soft, soothing voice is exquisite on that one, and would have been just as wonderful on this one except she was so sick with a cold when she recorded this soundtrack that I found myself unable to bear listening to her. If my head was as stopped up as hers was, I think I would have waited until it cleared up before recording the postures for my audience to listen to over and over again. I did not keep this DVD because of this one sticking point. The scenery is even more beautiful than her previous release, and the exercises were just as flowing and well-planned, but I hope that in future she’ll do the instruction part of her recording when she is well.

This is a good intermediate flow DVD to add to your collection. I’ll be reaching for this one often. Zyrka is very calming in her vocal tone, so while this is a solid practice, I tend to practice with this DVD when I need a calming influence as well as a good routine.

I found this video challenging enough to keep me interested, yet easy enough to not make it a chore. I’ve only been practicing yoga for about a year so am still learning. Right now the 45 min. practice is perfect for me. I am glad that this dvd has progressive workouts so that one may work at their own pace. Zyrka is a clear and concise teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed my workout and look forward to working with this dvd.

Great workouts. No mystical stuff. The transitions from pose to pose feel good. The instructor explains poses well, and the camera captures the moves so you can easily follow along. My only complaint is that the background music is so loud that it is sometimes hard to hear the instructor. I’m sure this won’t matter much once I get used to the routines, but the first time, it was hard to follow because I couldn’t always hear the soft voice.

I am very satisfied with this dvd. Zyrka’s voice is soothing and never annoying. I like that she does not rush through the poses. They are held just long enough to feel the stretch and feel my muscles working, without over doing it. I just skip the breathing and chanting in the beginning. I’m glad I added it to my yoga dvd collection.
