Included are 10 complete practices to honor solar vitality offering a meditative practice for all levels.

"i believe this DVD is just a subset of Shiva's Yoga Shakti DVD!You're better of buying the full Yoga Shakti DVD for another 6-bucks which includes this practice and more. I absolutely LOVE the Yoga Shakti DVD and would highly recommend that instead!
Please see my other DVD reviews on Amazon, including Yoga Shakti ;o)

Another GREAT Shiva DVD

"This is a FANTASTIC DVD. Shiva is an amazing teacher who mixes just the right amount of instruction and great music. And while I agree that Yoga Shakti is an AMAZING DVD which I also have an use daily; this is a beautiful practice in its own right. It should be noted that not every retailer is as fair with its pricing as Amazon and I have seen Yoga Shakti for $29.99 with this DVD priced at half. For someone just discovering Shiva; someone who does not want or have the time to make a new matrix; or someone on a limited budget this is a great choice."
Sun Salutations

"I tried this DVD through Netflix when I first started Yoga at a gym so I could practice at home. It was a little hard to follow even though the instructor talks you through the moves. So many are head down moves that you can't watch her do them and keep up. I did yoga at the gym for another year or so, and then tried this DVD again. Now I love it - so much that I quit the gym. I love this Yoga DVD because you can choose the workouts you want to do, which changes them up so you don't get bored and allows you to fit a workout into your time schedule."

"I love this video. The Preset practices are easy to follow & the matrix makes it fun to create your own practice. Definitely one of Shiva Rea's best DVDs."
