Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I'm happy to say that I actually did my yoga workout last night and it was WONDERFUL! I almost skipped it b/c DD didn't go to bed " on time " but once I got her off to sleep I pushed my butt downstairs and made myself do yoga. I did parts of the Lunar Practice on Shiva Rea's Yoga Sanctuary CD. I was going to do a video, but I saw that DH had both VCRs tied up taping something...and I didn't feel like doing what I have on DVD. Anyway, this was a great and very relaxing yoga session. I did track 1 - full body warm-up, track 2 - forward bends and twists, track 3 - hip openers and twists and track 6 savasana (sp?) This CD is sooooo relaxing and Shiva cues so well. I really like practicing yoga to a CD, there seems to be less pressure to follow along or achieve a certain form as there is no one there to compare yourself to! I dimmed the lights and just listened to Shiva and followed along as best I could. I felt great afterwards. I have two of her CDs - Yoga Sanctuary and Yoga Chant. I've done Sanctuary more. Both CDs come with a sheet that shows the poses, and are really two CD sets with a " solar " and " lunar " practice on each - the solar being more active, the lunar being more restorative. The Yoga Sanctuary CD also lists shorter sequences that you could do - which is very nice if you don't have time for the full workouts the CD or if you want to use it as an add on. I think Track 1 of the Lunar CD would make an excellent quickie session just on its own followed by savasana. I remember that on the Solar CD of Sanctuary, if you do the full practice, she recommends that you do the entire Solar CD then add either the forward bends (track 2) or the hip openers (track 3) and then savasana (track 6) fromthe Lunar CD to complete the practice. I think the whole thing probably comes in at around 80 or 90 min, which makes it hard to fit in. But, like I said, the CD set lists suggestions for shorter workouts. The Solar CD has sun salutations, standing poses, backbends, etc. The Lunar has the warm-up, forward bends, hip openers, inversions and relaxation pose. I really want to pick up more of her CDs. I picked up the two I have from half.com. I think she has at least two more - Yoga Trance Dance and Drops of Nectar - there may be another. I HIGHLY recommend her!! She also has a new DVD out - Shakti (sp?) Yoga that is available on preorder from Deep Discount DVD.com (i'm going to order...) It is also available from the Sounds True catalog (soundstrue.com - I think) and it is on pre-order from Amazon. Deep Discount seems to have the best price. She also has pre-natal and post-natal yoga videos/DVDs. I used both before and after pregnancy. Did I mention I love Shiva? tomorrow (friday) is my yoga day - I may either do her Solar Practice from either Sanctuary or Chant, or I might do Eoinn's workout. They're both my current favorites. Shiva is much more " serious " than Eoinn, though! Take care!! Donnha > >At 02:05 PM 8/25/2004, Donna M-P wrote: > >Donna (who really wants to be sure she does some yoga tonight!!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Keep practicing!! I find that the more I do the better I get. earlier this year I did lots of yoga and worked my way up to doing backbends, inversions, etc. Since I've slacked off I know I can't do those things anymore and just have to keep working on them again. Hoping to get some yoga in tonight - it really felt great and I woke up so rested, even though I actually slept less than usual.
