For the person who loves yoga and dance -- Knight Ridder News Service, December 17, 2001

Product Description
Yoga and dance are two great rivers that lead us back into our bodies and rejuvenate us with prana – the vital energy of life. Yoga awakens the breath, fluidity of the spine, and inner power. Free-form trance dance cultivates natural movement, intuition, and creativity. Now, with Yoga Trance Dance anyone who loves yoga or dance can experience the benefits of both these traditions – in one energized workout.

On Disc one, Shiva Rea guides listeners through the same innovative methods that she offers at her acclaimed yoga retreats and workshops worldwide. Practitioners begin with creative flow yoga…move into the depths of ecstatic dance…and complete their session with moving meditation and chant. Disc Two contains just the music – a phenomenal full-length world trance dance album ideal for self-guided sessions, traditional yoga, or just great listening.

For those looking for a dynamic new way to enhance their range of motions, break through physical and energetic blockages, boost cardiovascular strength, and create a more positive relationship with one’s body, here’s the perfect program – Yoga Trance Dance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, December 12, 2001

By	cryogini (United States) - See all my reviews

Geoffrey Gordon's music is awesome--the CD starts out with slow, hypnotic music that increases in intensity with each track. Shiva Rea's instructions are excellent, and trance dance is just plain fun. You start out with a fluid, flowing yoga series that gradually moves into an all-out free-form dance, then slows back down to yoga and total relaxation. It feels goooood! I love the fact that there are 2 CDs--one with instructions over the music, and one with music only.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great music, not a whole ton of traditional yoga asanas, May 2, 2003

By	Melanie Bernstein "mbernst22" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love the music on this CD, so I definitely think of it as a worthwhile buy. However, the workout itself is a complement to a regular yoga practice. It doesn't have at all the same feel you would get by going to a yoga class - it's more like Shiva uses yoga principles to put you in a place where you can trance dance. Personally, I enjoy the structure of traditional yoga, so this workout may not be for me. That said, I really, really love the music, and it's great that she includes a CD with just the music. I plan to do my own home yoga practice using that.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful cd in my collection, January 21, 2003

By	Elias S. Zananiri (Milwaukee, WI. United States) - See all my reviews

I am very pleased with the purchase of this cd. Shivarea class has
a process that took me to a deeper state of ecstatic meditation.
She starts with invocation and prana conciousness, then moves on to bringing movement and fluidity to the spine. Free rhythmic grounded movements lead to trance dance. Prana yoga follows. The session ends with kirtan, and a beautiful prayer. Shivarea also brings Poetry to different sgments of her class. Simple and powerful...
