Meditation, Training And More With Shiva Rea: Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga

If you are looking into starting yoga, then you may run across Shiva Rea: Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga. It is a very powerful workout designed to increase your energy through spiritual pathways. Yoga is often associated with Eastern philosophies or religions such as Buddhism or Hinduism. If you do not understand some of the terms that you may run across while doing yoga, do not worry about it. Most DVDs, this one included, will explain what they want you to do as they go along.

Stores and online website have a plethora of yoga DVDs. Some are targeted specifically for beginners. Some are targeted specifically for intermediate or advanced yoga practitioners. The choices are endless and it can be difficult to pick the right one for your needs. But you really do need to know that Shiva Rea: Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga can be used by anyone at any time.

If you have spent any time in a yoga class or online learning about yoga, then you have undoubtedly heard of Shiva Rea. Her yoga DVDs are a phenomenal success because they can be performed by beginners, intermediates and advanced users depending on which DVD is selected. But the Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga is really a marvel of technology.

The DVD comes with 7 twenty minute practices. That is not what is so great about the DVD, though the stances are very dynamic and can keep you motivated. No, it is the ability to interact with the DVD programming to create your own unique workout. One day you can concentrate on one aspect such as the Earth exercises and another you can work on the Fire.

The DVD also comes with segments devoted entirely to meditation. The two she focuses on are Solar Meditation and Lunar Meditation. With Solar Meditation you get active movements while meditating. Lunar Meditation is a seated meditation that also focuses on your breathing.

If you think that the twenty minute segments are not challenging, think again. She also includes a seven minute core/abs training segment, along with a six minute section on forward bends/counter-pose training. That is really going to work on your muscles and help you later with some of the more difficult poses and stances.

You will definitely get a well rounded workout with Shiva Rea: Daily Energy - Vinyasa Flow Yoga. But do not be too hard on yourself if you cannot complete the full workout. You can do just a portion of it daily until you can work up to longer periods of workout time. Learning yoga is not going to happen overnight. Gaining the flexibility and stamina you need to do yoga is definitely not going to come overnight but with time you will find your energy increasing and you will workout longer. It may seem tough at first but stick with it.
