Yogalosophy

Yogalosophy is an easy-to-follow and challenging workout routine from superstar Jennifer Aniston’s fitness instructor, Mandy Ingber. The programme includes two versions of a 30-minute routine and a fully-loaded, 55-minute challenge. For those looking for a traditional yoga DVD, this is not classical yoga as it combines other workout exercises within it, but does offer hybrid yoga and toning poses, bringing something a little different and unique to the package. With an introduction by Jennifer Aniston and with the lovely, warm personality of Mandy Ingber coupled with her light sense of humour, the DVD helps you connect your mind, body and emotions, which is, after all, part of yogic philosophy. Accompanied by gorgeous music, this is one you’ll just have to try for yourself!

Shiva Rea Daily Energy

Shiva Rea is a leading teacher of vinyasa (flow) yoga, which combines fluid movement with rhythmic breathing for a transformative mind-body workout. Featuring seven 20-minute practices, you can choose from more than two hours of yoga to create many possibilities for longer practices, making this DVD and excellent one to own and an essential part of your home DVD yoga survival kit.

On a stressful day, you can practice one of the lunar programs for relaxation or, when you need to be at your best, opt for an energising solar practice, or put the two together to build stamina and sculpt long, lean muscles… the choice is yours!

Shiva also offers many pre-set practices, combining several sequences together for differing affects. All of these practices are new, intelligent and offer lovely ideas for teachers and great practice for students alike. Although we urge that these asanas should only be practised by experienced beginners and up.

Heart-Air was one of our favourites – a clever backbending sequences that starts slowly in Cat Pose and continues to a wonderful flow of poses such as Kneeling Bow and Standing Half Splits. We also loved Shanti – a great relaxing practice focusing on slow stretches. Daily Energy Vinyasa Flow Yoga helps you fit yoga into your busy life every day of the week and, for that, we’re pretty excited!

Her flowing Solar practice builds strength, endurance and flexibilty, bringing radiance from the inside out and her Lunar practice, incorporating slower, deeper movements gently nourishes the muscles and helps release stress and tension. The two sessions presented are suitably complimentary for a morning and evening yoga practice and is a wonderful contribution to the total mind/body/yoga experience.

Beginners and advanced practioners will benefit from this well-made and easy-to-follow DVD.

Director Michael Goorjian intertwines the stories of an overachieving businessman, a mother of two seeking her own expression in the world and a director trying to make a name for himself into an easily watchable film about how achievement and accumulation is so often contrasted with a life of meaning that’s focused on serving and giving back.
