Shiva Rea: Core Yoga

Excellent workout, excellent value for your money
I have been doing yoga for a few years, and consider myself an "advanced beginner" in yoga. I try new poses and new things. I recently discovered Shiva Rea, who is considered to be a "powerhouse yoga teacher" by the New York Times. This DVD is an excellent value for your money, especially if you want to work your abs.

Other reviewers have pointed out that this DVD consists of three older programs, now released on one DVD. That is true. The three programs are Creative Core Yoga for abs(2006), Creative Coreand Lower body (2008) and Creative Core and Upper body (2012).

Core yoga for Abs!
The most essential part of feeling fit starts with having a lean torso and a healthy back, and no one knows that better than yoga master Shiva Rea.

The matrix format is straightforward allowing you to customize your practice in various time increments. The free-flow segments give you an opportunity to be creative making the...

Good, but,,,,
Shiva's videos are top notch,,,very creative, gives us something different than the same old, same old. But, this is a repackaging of her Core Yoga products. Thats not a bad thing,,,we get 3 videos for the price of one,,,but, if you already own the set of 3 Core Yoga videos, this is the exact same thing,,,beware!!! That said, I own all of her videos, and I love her creativity and style. Dont let this repackaging be a turn off, get on the mat with Shiva, she will work you, in a good way!!!
