Something New

"This DVD is inspiring, uplifting as well as challenging. Micheline's voice is soothing, angelic and direct. the sequences are straight forward, creative and easy to follow along with. I was able to listen while doing the poses and stay in the relaxed flow that the DVD inspires without getting confused or having to come out of the pose to look at the TV in order to follow along. Micheline guides the audience like we are her own students. She explains the movements and reminds the viewer to breath and surrender to the movement. Also she asks that we challenge ourselves to go deeper, meet our edges of resistance and move past any obstacles to our health, vitality, strength and inner radiance. Micheline herself executes the poses and is an example of proper alignment, poise and grace. I recommend Liquid Asana to serious yogis as well as those just starting on their yogic path. Om Nama Shiviya"

Fun Short Practices

"I bought this DVD a year ago directly from Micheline's website. It's my favorite of the 3 and it has short practices (elixirs) that you can mix and match (no matrix). The first elixir is "Root Power" (18 mins) for toning hips legs & butt offers yogic squats variations , including full squats at the beginning which I don't like to do , especially when I'm not warmed up but the rest is fun yogic squats , standing cat and forward bends with fluid and creative transitions and variations , some similar to Shiva Rea's Creative Core & Lower Body. The second elixir "Total Core Power" (26 mins) is also somewhat similar to Shiva's Creative Core Abs but a little less challenging and features fun and creative core exercises , yogic ab exercises and bridge pose with variations.

Elixir 3 (15 min) - Dancing Warrior - 2 sun salutation variations.

Elixir 4 (26 min) - Rejuvinate - a relaxing segment of forward bends , twists , pigeon and shoulderstand. All of these elixirs are also divided in to sub chapters so you can easily skip and shorten each practice.

This DVD was shot in beautiful outdoor locations in Brazil and has great music from Shaman's Dream Rara Avis and more. I think this DVD is suitable for beginners with some experience in yoga."

A wonderful introduction to flow into your practice!

"Micheline Berry's introduction will inspire anyone to take to their yoga mat. As she instructs during the video, her explanations, along with the videography, provide the perfect pace (you can actually keep up with, and enjoy) and example (visual demonstrations) for those who are new to learning yoga... and for those who have been practicing and want to refresh some of their key foundation skills. Her voice (very pleasant to listen to) and the beautiful studio in which she's practicing are the cherry on top!"

"Liquid Asana: The Fluid Dance of Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Micheline Berry is a yoga instructional DVD in which host Micheline Berry introduces the viewer to her unique blend of the basics of Vinyasa Flow Yoga Alignment with four dance programs. The result is a beautiful, virtually liquid form of exercise promoting flexibility and grace as well as calorie burning. The four fluid dance movements forming the core of Liquid Asana are the circle, the wave, spiral, and undulation. Enhancing the exercise program is a Liquid Asana meditation and relaxation art track. Though Liquid Asana is designed for beginners, yoga practitioners of all skill and experience levels are sure to enjoy the creative and flowing aspects to this one-of-a-kind workout. A welcome addition to yoga DVD libraries. 75 minutes.
