5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Yoga Workout, June 12, 2004

This review is from: The Yogi's Companion (Audio CD)

This has got to be my favorite Yoga class and I have tons of videos and also "Yoga Sanctuary" by Shiva rea and Bryan Kest's advanced yoga cd, I find Lauren's "Yogi's Companion" to be my favorite, because it has alot of my favorite poses and it's only 72 minutes and not 90 like someone else mentioned here, you can also make a shorter practice .The level of this cd in general is intermediate to advanced but you can choose only a few tracks for an easier practice, track 4 is the most challenging and my fave, it has tough arm balances like handstand ,peacock feather pose( forearm balance) and insect pose, your arms will be pumped after this! You also get a poster with all the poses, it's worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for travel, September 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Yogi's Companion (Audio CD)

I prefer yoga CD's to videos. I travel a lot with work, and CD's are easier to practice with. I also don't like trying to watch a TV screen, and get in and out of poses. I find with CD's I listen better, and feel more centered. Of all the CD's I've done, this is the easiest to follow. The pace is good, instructions are clear, and the included chart is very thorough. Now that is not to say the class is easy. Some of the tracks are quite challenging. There is a guide that instructs you on which tracks to skip, if you are just starting out. I like this, because as you improve, you can do more of the CD. All in all, this is a very skillfully put together CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent practice on a CD, November 10, 2003

If you are familiar with ashtanga yoga or power yoga and desire an intermmediate level workout, this is the CD to buy. Having done David Swenson's short forms DVD and Brian Kest's 1995 video series, I was looking for something similar in difficulty that I could take with me when I travel. I've found that the CD allows me to focus on alignment and breath - and it does provide an invigorating practice. Lauren is an advanced ashtanga practitioner and her knowledge is evident in this CD. She offers various modifications so that the practice is accessible to newer students, but includes some very challenging segments (namely track 4) to keep more advanced students growing in their practice. Highly recommended!
