Clips and poses
I was hoping for a workout video. With 1-3 people in a workout studio with a mat thats doing what I'm doing......that's not what I got. These are edited clips of each individula pose that run one clip after another.
The video transitions in from a shot of the beach to a woman who goes through the pose. The pose is slower than yoga normally is, the description of the pose is very delayed (the audio starts description and half way through description the person starts the pose). Once the pose is complete the video transitions out via a shot of the beach and we come back in for the next pose which doesn't transition well with the pose you just completed.
For example, I tried one routine and I was up for one pose, sitting for the next, up for the next pose, sitting for the next and there is NO transition between poses. It's not like going from downward facing dog to upward facing dog where it's one continual movement..... it's start from a standing poistion 'do downward facing dog' then stand....then the next pose, go into 'upward facing dog' and stand....it's terrible.
Yoga is about the continual flow of energy throughout the moves. not, one move youre done, now then next move youre done..and so on. .
I should have paid more attention to the reviews that gave it a 1 and 2, they were right on the money.
