Essential to your home practice

Shiva Rea gently guides you through several asanas, linking breath with movement, in an easy to navigate format. I discovered this cd (which comes with a visual guide) after practicing for one year and have utilized it in my home practice ever since. IF you are unfamiliar with the basic vinyasa flow asanas, not having the visual will be extremely challenging to you. Recommended for a solid beginner (exposure to vinyasa flow style and some sanskrit terms) and well beyond.

Buy The CD

I bought the CD so I could have the poster showing the poses, as well as being able to choose my own yoga practice for the day since each track is separated. The only reason I would recommend downloading it from Audible is to see if you like the style before you commit to purchasing the CD.

Get the CD, skip the Audible

The format from Audible is a single monolithic file - useless for tailoring a practice as intended. Buy the CD, rip it into seperate tracks. The publishers did no one any favors formatting this work as they did.

Tracks out of order

The tracks are all out of order, which makes it hard to use this as a yoga practice accompaniment.
