Amazon.com:
Comprehensive but user-friendly, reasonably challenging but accessible to a variety of levels, Yoga Shakti is inarguably one of the best yoga products on the market--no small achievement when one considers just how many of them there are. Instructor-creator Shiva Rea, a California-based yogi of considerable international renown, specializes in vinyasa yoga (a vinyasa is essentially a series of flowing, connected poses, incorporating breath and movement and cultivating heat, strength, flexibility, and balance). Four complete practices are presented, ranging in length from 42 to 85 minutes and including Basic Flow (for beginners), two more vigorous Solar Flow sequences, and a Lunar Flow sequence falling somewhere in the middle in terms of degree of difficulty; familiar poses like sun salutations, forward bends, lunges, twists, and inversions are featured, although Rea adds many of her own touches (such as the four 'dancing warrior' sections, sun salutation variations designed for intermediate users and focusing on hips, backbends, and so on), and there are also sections devoted to pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. It's all good, but the principal innovation of Yoga Shakti is the 'yoga matrix,' which allows users to customize and program their own workouts, drawing on portions of any or all of the four sequences to create series of various lengths and levels of intricacy (some guidelines are suggested for the less experienced) and thus keep their practices fresh and evolving. One can also do the various workouts with or without the instruction audio track on (the Indian-New Age-flavored music is quite good, and usually unobtrusive), and there's even an entire second disc, containing interviews, additional instruction, travel footage (filming took place primarily in India and the Maldive Islands), and more. All in all, Yoga Shakti is most impressive. --Sam Graham

Rating:  - wonderful
This is a wonderful video that will be well used. I like that there are meditations and breath work included. All I can say--if your looking for a yoga dvd that you can use every day, this is it. This is certainly more of a intermediate video, but my mom (no yoga background) did this with me and did very well--I helped a little ;)
Rating: - A bit different than the norm.Recommended.
I was a little scared off from purchasing this DVD by reviewers that said she used too much Sanskrit.I'm glad I ignored that and purchased it anyway.This is a great DVD!It's a bit different than the yoga I'm used to, but I'd say it's classic yoga stuff with a little bit of a twist.Not too out there that someone who is traditional in their yoga practice won't like it, but not your average yoga practice either.She basically just adds a little more fluidity to everything, but it's not to the ...

Rating: - yoga matrix
great dvd, i love the yoga matrix which allows the user to design the asana flow.
Rating: - EXCELLENT!
Yes, it's true that you have to have some basic knowledge/experience with yoga to enjoy Yoga Shakti from the get go. She is not hard to follow if you are familiar with the terms. I watched the entire dvd several times to see what it was all about and after only three practices I am quite familiar and at ease with following along.Yoga is wonderful to anyone considering it. I could live without alot of things but not yoga.It truly is more than "exercise".Yoga fulfills many areas of health that are ... Read More
Rating: - Great yoga home video
Excellent.Great music, great flow, easy to follow, she instructs just the right amount....
the yoga matrix option is fabulous.only gripe is that there are no times on the matrix so you can set something up and have no idea how long it will last.
