Shiva Rea: A.M. Energy

Instructor Shiva Rea hosts this well-produced exercise program that incorporates a “yoga matrix” feature allowing viewers to combine one or more of the three workout segments, along with a warm-up core awakening meditation and a cool-down featuring deep relaxation. In “Body Mandela 108,” Rea demonstrates pulses and plank variations with the goal of reaching over 100 rounds of repetitions. “Shakti Flow” focuses more on creative energy and unique body movements, as Rea reminds viewers “Don't imitate me…shake from your roots.” The “Vira Flow” workout combines sweeping movements with poses such as the “Mythical Eagle.” A.M. Energy also includes a bonus “Heart Salutation” outdoor segment with extra movements. Backed by a bouncy Eastern-influenced soundtrack, this new program from the popular Rea is recommended. Aud: P.
