Advanced Vinyasa Flow Yoga: Strength and Balance

Aimed at highly-experienced yoga practitioners, the poses in this increasingly challenging series of routines are presented in five sections of varying difficulty. Instructor Jenni Rawlings leads the presentation against a bright, white background, making it easy to see the different positions (useful, since the pace can occasionally be brisk). Rawlings provides voiceover instructions, naming poses and offering suggestions for refinements as the moves are repeated over the course of the routine. The program begins with a relatively easygoing short flow sequence, with basic poses simple enough for low to mid-level yoga practitioners. The remaining four sections increase the difficulty, with some extremely advanced poses—including lifts and hand and arm stands. An excellent workout for yoga vets, this is highly recommended.
