5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from Eoin and the crew, March 30, 2008

This review is from: Power Yoga for Happiness 2: The Surf Edition (DVD)

I couldn't wait for this to come out, given how much I liked the first serving of "Power Yoga for Happiness."

It doesn't disappoint. I really like Eoin's style - soothing voice, quirky comments, and good cueing overall.

It is rated as more advanced than the previous PYH, but I don't think I agree with that, not that it matters. Its at least intermediate, if you do the poses properly - crow, half moon, warrior 3 etc.

The routines are different versions of the long routine, and I know some people don't like that - it doesn't have a matrix like Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti. the longest is 90 min, and the shortest 34 min.

However I really enjoy doing these routines, and feel great after them. There are lots of shoulder stretches and twists in this one given its for surfers, but good variety overall and a nice progression and and emphasis on working at your level - all levels, all good.

Probably the only thing I don't like is not being able to watch the screen much as the scenery is beautiful and relaxing.

Thanks Eoin and the team, great job!

I'm a huge fan of Eoin's. Found him through iTunes and downloaded all his free yoga podcasts. Having come from the Shiva Rea school of vinyasa, I found Eoin similar in structure but very different in energy. He moves you faster through the flows, truly one breath, one movement which is the definition of vinyasa. His DVDs are far less stylized than Shiva Rea's. I find them far more human; all three of the people doing yoga in the video make adjustments to their poses and don't do everything perfectly.
Eoin has grown enormously, in my opinion, over the past 6 years as both a yogi and a teacher. From doing his style of yoga for just 4 months, I can do things like Galavasana now which I could only laughingly say, "someday" when I saw Shiva Rea doing it in Yoga Shakti.
I love that Eoin, when giving options to go into deeper variations of a pose, always says, "and ask yourself why," For me, this really helps me identify how my ego plays into my yoga practice and can work against me in my agenda to have the happiest, healthiest 48 year old body I can possibly have. It is vulnerable work to face one's ego and Eoin gives such a nonjudgmental way to enter that door.
I love when he says "we're going to get funky" with whatever the pose is. I know that it is definitely going to be challenging and yes: Funky.
The DVD set is one long flow, 85 minutes. All the shorter flows are seamlessly connected sections; some shortened, some omitted to satisfy either a time constraint or a particular area of the body to work on. This DVD offers a huge amount of shoulder work which I appreciate, as I work a computer/phone desk job. I'm not a surfer, and I am quite sure that you don't have to be a surfer to totally groove on the DVD.
Eoin is playful and kind and very detailed in his instruction. His wife and the other woman doing the poses in the DVD are fabulous yoginis and delightful to watch. Someone is always demonstrating an easier and a harder variation from the classic pose.
The scenery is gorgeous, the music not obtrusive but pleasant, the production is very good and I finish every encounter with this DVD literally blissed out with my heart open and happy.
Rock on, brother Eoin! May you be as blessed by the world as the world is blessed by you!

Love Eoin Finn style and this dvd really has different sequences than his other dvds as well as from other yogis. I have been doing yoga with dvd support for quite a few years now with different teachers, Eoin remains my favorite. Well done with the scenery and the numerous routine possibilities. More challenging than pure and simple yoga which I thought was an easy version of his previous work + it offered few possibilities. As good as his previous dvds with some novelties. Hope more will come with intermediate-advance level and more novelties. I think I will be as addicted to this dvd as I was to his fisrt two. Keep up the good work Eoin! You made me love power yoga.
