The Ultimate Yoga DVD

Whether you wanna try yoga for the first time or go deeper into your practice, we’re diggin’ Shiva Rea’s Daily Energy DVD. She started doing yoga at fourteen (sound familiar?!) and has since practiced all over the world and released a DVD series.

One of the probs I’ve had with yoga DVDs in the past is that they give you a set practice that gets boring after a while. Shiva Rae’s DVD has a bunch of practice sessions to try.

First, I can start my practice with either a five-minute Lunar or Solar meditation. It gets me calm and focused for my workout. Next I can choose from 7 twenty-minute yoga practices with a different theme for the middle of my practice. You have the option of adding a couple minutes of ab-work or forward bends. Pretty intense, right? Don’t worry, it’s all actually really relaxing. You can take things at your own pace. Finally, I finish with the five minute Savasana to gather my thoughts and relax. Shiva Rae’s voice is so calm, you can almost fall asleep to it!

Yoga is such a dynamic practice. It can be used for relaxation, energy, meditation, stretching and muscle tone. That’s why this DVD lets you choose what you want to focus on. If I want to tone and stretch I’ll pick the Water option on the matrix. The movements are really flow-y and require you to stabilize yourself. Last night I needed peace, so I opted for the Shanti option and had twenty minutes of gentle stretching and quiet meditiation.

The best part of Shiva Rea Daily Energy is that you can create a different yoga workout on the matrix every day. You can make your practice as long or short as you feel like. If you just want to relax, you can pop on the Solar mediation. Or you can do any of the twenty-minute practices alone. Perfect!
