Shiva Rea: More Daily Energy

In her latest program, popular vinyasa flow yoga teacher Shiva Rea demonstrates three “beginner” lunar sequences and four “intermediate” solar practices—each approximately 20 minutes long—with opening meditation and closing relaxation segments (in addition to the prescribed routines, viewers can also build a personalized workout). Rea is seen positioned on a raised platform in a studio setting, with atmospheric music playing quietly behind her gentle voiceover narration. Although Rea cautions viewers about doing more difficult poses only “if you can,” generally these moves require a lot of flexibility and strength and will be too challenging for many beginners. Rea's intermediate-to-advanced fans, however, will likely appreciate this offering. Recommended. Aud: P. (M. Puffer-Rothenberg)
