DVD Review: Solar Flow

I recently borrowed Shiva Rae's Solar Flow. I wanted to try a different yoga approach, maybe get new ideas or just learn more about the world of yoga.

It was my introduction to Shiva Rae. She travels a completely different path to the uses of yoga than what I am doing. But it is a nice deviation for when I get into a rut and want to break out for a while. I researched her Web site and found that she does a "Yoga Trance Dance" which seems like fun.

As many reviewers stated, this DVD is not for beginners. It certainly has sequences that beginners can do, but I found that many of her sequences were challenging. And very little explanation, so could be frustrating for beginners. It gives me, and other intermediates, something to work toward and I will incorporate some of what I saw into my practice. And I love the music.
