5.0 out of 5 stars Great, flowing workout, November 11, 2004

This review is from: Antonia Kidman Yoga - The Power and Style Of Ashtanga (DVD)

I love this DVD because it features a smooth, flowing Ashtanga yoga workout. Antonia and Kate (the instructor) are very graceful, plus there are good modifications for beginner to intermediate levels. The only minus is that it's not very chellenging for advanced practitioners. Also, it's a bit short - approx. 45-50 minutes.
So, being quite an advanced practitioner, I save this DVD for when I'm looking for more of a stress relief and sensation workout, and if I want more of a chellenge I go for the wonderfull Brian Kest Power Yoga Series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smooth flow, demanding exercises, great teacher, December 7, 2004

This review is from: Antonia Kidman Yoga - The Power and Style Of Ashtanga (DVD)

I like this video, and have used it several times.

There are three people doing the exercises, performing them at various levels, so you can adapt the exercises to your abilities. The teacher is a former dancer, very graceful, and it is a joy to observe how she does the exercises.

The exercises flow smoothly inmto one another, and the teacher encourages you to try harder, whitour overdoing it.

There are not enough instructions to attempt the more demanding postures, but I believe that nonbody should do yoga just from following videos at home. I believe one needs a mixture of live classes and home videaos.

I did not find the exercises too easy, but then I am not that athletic.

This review is from: Antonia Kidman Yoga - The Power and Style Of Ashtanga (DVD)

I did not like the Sun Salutations in the beginning of this workout. They were too fast, so that when they were done, I was not even warmed up. It reminded me of MTV Power Yoga, which I hated.

However, I really liked that there were a whole standing and then seated sequences. I aleady have them, though. The seated sequence was basically the same as is on Yoga Shakti, and the standing sequence the same as the Nicki Doane video Ashtanga Yoga Beginner's Practice (but shorter and therefore less good).

So, if you don't have any such videos, this is good because it was cheap and they talk in Australian accents. (They say "Let's move into THE up dog.") If you have a healthy-sized collection, though, it wont really add anything.
