Great for days when you are short on time
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have thoroughly enjoyed this DVD and expect to use it until DVD players are extinct. I typically use a DVD to supplement my practice once per week and this DVD is great for those days where you want a balanced practice, yet feel short on time. When I try to practice for only 1/2 hour on my own, I find that I usually only get through a sun salutes and end up not getting to other portions of my practice because I get lost in time. This DVD helps me move along on those short-for-time days and incorporate a centering, warm-up, standing poses, backbends, forward bends and twists. The only thing I have to really add in myself are inversions.

I love all of the flow options as they are all unique and for different moods and needs. The "Shanti" flow is so amazing and delightful with long holding of pigeon and beautiful music. I think the colors on this set are mesmerizing and inspiring, although honestly I am barely looking at the screen. Enjoy this DVD. If you are on the fence about buying it I noticed it on FitTv and Discovery Health Channel when I was home sick the other day.

Shiva Rea Daily Energy yoga DVD
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this DVD! Most yoga classes I have been to last for 90 minutes, and I usually don’t have time in my days for that. On this DVD there are 7 20-minute practices that you can supplement with warm-up, extra practice and shavasana, or just do the 20-minute practice if that’s the only time you have. I was surprised at what a good workout just the 20-minute practices can be. All 7 of them are excellent. On the mornings that I do one of these brief practices, I feel more centered, younger and supple throughout my day. However, you probably need to have at least some yoga experience before you order these tapes because Shiva Rea doesn’t provide very much explanation. The practices are do-able, but each has a challenging pose or two in it that I am unable to do yet. I highly recommend this DVD for anyone who already knows some yoga poses, but doesn’t have time to attend yoga classes on a regular basis.

So practical and well done.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is my first “at home” video. I took one basic yoga class a year ago and needed a cheap way to move around (I got out of shape).

This video is great, very practical, there are short sequences and 20 minutes exercises you can mix and match. It is pretty intense sometimes but short, for what I know, it takes basic yoga poses and pump them up a little bit. If you’re new, just start with a 20 minutes, and that’s it! I did too much the first time and got all sore the next day.

I’m excited about this video and can’t wait to know them better so I can just close my eyes and get used to the movements and postures. I am very pleased with it.

Wonderful FLOW routines
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been doing yoga now for about 3 yrs and am just about to envoke on a yoga certification program. For home practice I really like Shiva Rea. If you’re all about flow and fluid movement this DVD is it! I love the ability to customize the practices – and the preset ones as well! It gives the user a lot of variety. If you enjoy yoga flow type classes and enjoy a spiritual and dance like practice you’ll love Shiva Rea. I have three of her DVDs and they all rock, but I really like this one the best so far.

Caution – I would say that this dvd is more for intermediate yogis – you can try this if you’re a newbie- but her poses and how she flows through this a little more advanced.

Awesome like Shiva Rea!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Inspiring practice sequences that you can easily incorporate into a daily at-home practice. Everything is customizable with an incredibly cool matrix (why doesn’t every workout DVD have this?) where you can select which pieces you want to practice in a given session. She includes tons of modifications so moderately experienced folks can have a good experience as well as start to advance their practice. It works for good days and bad and allows you to just do 20 minutes if you like and still come away feeling like you’ve had an experience. Or assemble a lengthy practice to really build up heat and breath like you do in class. Inspiring and functional — you can’t ask for anything more!

Amazing Yoga
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been practicing yoga for years and enjoyed many wonderful DVDs to aide me in my practice. This new Shiva Rea Daily Energy is yet another wonderful addition to her collection of DVDs. This has to be one of my favorites. The matrix makes it easy to choose which ‘class’ you want to take. You can spend 20 min. or take a mixture of practices. There are always modifications and more advanced moves if you are ready. Practicing with Shiva Rea has taken my yoga to a higher level. Her calming, inspiring words make this more than a work out.
