Gentle and Meditative Practice
Sura Flow Yoga: The Complete Integrative Program for Beginners. Includes "Yoga, Energy Healing & Life Skills" and "Deep Relaxation and Guided Meditation".
This is a meditative, mostly gentle yoga practice which focuses on the mind/body connection and movement of the spine. There are no standing poses. All poses are done seated, on hands and knees or lying on the floor. Sura is an excellent instructor with a quiet, calm voice. The production quality is very high. The dvd was filmed at a mountain lake in Boulder, CO and the background scenery is gorgeous.
While billed as a yoga dvd, there are elements of tai chi/qi gong. Many of the poses incorporate circular or wave like movements of the spine and limbs. I use Lee Holden's Qi Gong dvds frequently and feel that this dvd has a kinship with his practices. People who prefer more active vinyasa style yoga might find this too slow.
Most of the poses would be accessible to someone who is new to yoga,...
More Than Yoga
A beginner at yoga, I've tried a few programs before and immediately lost interest. This program is much, much different. Sura guides you through exercises that stretch your body, but more than that, stretches your consciousness. Somehow she helps put you in tune with yourself and your place in the universe. Very peaceful and relaxing. Enlightening. The motions are low-impact in nature and feel natural. The production qualities are excellent, with great music and beautiful scenery (not to mention Sura herself). The modular nature of the multiple programs allow you to piece together your own session, allowing you to select which ones you want to do in what order. Makes it easy to accommodate changing available time and interest. Do yourself a huge favor and get this DVD. It's a huge bargain, especially for those seeking the elusive peace of mind. You won't regret it!
Gentle and wonderful
I really love this SuraFlow DVD. The yoga sequences are gentle and I love the circular flow to the movements. I resonate well with the grounding, healing and meditations segments, and I really appreciate being able to select a different custom practice from day-to-day depending on how much time I have and what my body needs. Sura's voice and manner are really soothing and encouraging, and the visual backdrop is stunning - adding to the meditative experience of watching the DVD. I highly recommend it!
