5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, somebody gets it right..., May 24, 2004

By

This review is from: Seane Corn: Vinyasa Flow Yoga - Uniting Movement And Breath - Session One (DVD)

Even though Seane is one of these perfect picturesque yogis who grace the cover of yoga media from time to time, she favors breath and proper alignment to pretzel-like asana and unnecessarily extreme poses. Her use of props (though not relevant to every one of my poses) helped breathe new life into the asanas that I have difficulty with. What I really enjoyed about this video is that I learned new things (be it a technique, adjustment, or prop-use) about the most basic asanas in my routine. I don't know if this new structure will help me to eventually touch my head to the ground in prasarita padottanasana, but I certainly feel more connected to the poses than before. And for me, that is what matters.

I found the interviews with Seane very intriguing. She is more than just another pretty yogini, and her opinions on yoga give an intellectual depth to her asana teachings.

I'd recommend this video to anyone starting out with yoga, who wants a proper foundation in which to achieve some of the real benefits of the practice (which putting your leg behind your head is not one of them). I have since bought this DVD for my Mom (who has been practicing yoga via videotape for five years), and she said that Seane's instruction has helped transform her practice into something much more powerful and meaningful than what she was doing before. If you are looking for instruction in yoga and are new to the practice, or feel that your intermediate practice needs refinement, Seane's DVD is the one to get.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to follow without verbal cues, April 3, 2005

By 

Yogagenie "Yogagenie" (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Seane Corn: Vinyasa Flow Yoga - Uniting Movement And Breath - Session One (DVD)

This set comes with very thorough step-by-step introduction from Seane Corn taking you through each part of the routine. The problem is when you move onto the second DVD which offer the full series and flow from one position to next. There is no verbal cue or voice-over to guide you. It's simply Sean moving through the sequence silently. In order to follow her you have to constantly look up at the screen. I find it all very distracting and it takes away from me being able to focus on my poses.

5.0 out of 5 stars Golden Locked Instructor Unlocks the Body Through Breath, June 16, 2004

This review is from: Seane Corn: Vinyasa Flow Yoga - Uniting Movement And Breath - Session One (DVD)

If you are serious about Yoga, a Seane Corn workout will probably find you. They do say that when you are ready to learn, a teacher will appear. Seane Corn takes Yoga to a deeper level as she focuses more deeply on the entire yoga experience. She emphasizes the link between the breath and body. In the past few months, I've been finding that breathing is essential for deeper stretching.

Seane Corn is one of the most sought after yoga instructors. If you are interested in a one-on-one lesson, Vinyasa Flow Yoga is a highly-guided workout with calming music. Seane's instruction style is slightly more intense and much more serious than I am used to, but by the end of the DVD I felt amazingly calm, stronger and at peace.

Seane Corn's seriousness may come from her view that yoga is a divine ritual. You can really create a little heaven on earth through breath and movement. She takes yoga to a deeper level through integrating the breath with movement. The poses
are not complicated and I recognized most of the classic
routines:

Sun Salutations
Standing Poses
Twists
Meditation
Relaxation
Vinyasa Breathing techniques

This Deluxe DVD Edition also has an interview with Seane.

After doing this workout I could not decide if this was for beginners, intermediate or advanced. In fact, it might just be for all three. While beginners are just learning the poses, Seane moves slowly enough to allow for this aspect. Intermediate yogis will enjoy the relaxing pace and detailed instruction. Anyone who is at the advanced level will more than likely enjoy the additional spiritual aspects (brief prayer and affirmations) and length (72 minutes) of the practice. The unscripted format is also quite refreshing. You feel like you are in a yoga class.

If you enjoy an ancient, flowing style of yoga, this might be for you. While this starts off fairly slowly, the continued practice and movements from the floor to standing will give you a spiritually healing experience. You will feel increased blood flow and as you work with your breath, your entire body will thank you for the experience.

I could also see Seane Corn making a breathtakingly beautiful outdoor DVD. I hope she will move into the light (outdoors) because this DVD can at times be a bit shadowy in places. While it gives this DVD a lot of classic style, I am imagining the sun glinting off Seane Corn's hair out in nature. I love outdoor
yoga workouts.
