Beware.......2006-12-19

The Breathe CD is a duplicate of the Empower CD. I love both the Empower and Enlighten practices but am totally bummed out that there is a problem with the Breathe CD. If all 3 CD were as advertized, this would be an excellent value.

DiVine Yoga,.......2006-08-21

This is a lovely and well rounded yoga practice and I am so happy to have this in my yoga collection. There are three cd's, each one is a different practice.

The first cd is pranayama (breathing exercises). I don't use that one very often but a few months ago I injured my shoulder and had to take a break from the physical practice, I did this pranayama exercise every day for a couple weeks and I felt wonderful, relaxed and clean. I also believe it helped my shoulder heal faster!

The second cd is titled Enlighten and is supposed to be a more gentle phscal practice. This is a good exercise for those that haven't exercised in a while or for those days when you are tired and or sore from the previous days workout. I always feel relaxed and refreshed after this.

The third cd is titled Empower and is meant to be a strong practice. This practice is the one I do the most, I just love it! it seems to be based in ashtanga and would be a good workout for someone who hasn't quite been able to do the whole primary series. I really feel I am able to work on my breath in this exercise, the poses seem to be held for the right amount of time. I just don't get enough of a workout if it moves too fast. I like how you need to move gracefully and with strength in each pose for example, slowly lifting your legs together from halasana (plow) to shoulder stand. this workout is not the strongest I have, if I want a really strong one I do David Swenson primary series or put together a workout with Shiva Rea's Yoga Shakti. I keep coming back to this though, I feel so good after I do it.

Ateeka has a lovely warm calming voice and uses beautiful imagery in the poses. She definitely is spiritual about her yoga which I don't mind. I like to hear what inspires or how a teacher feels about their yoga, it doesn't mean you have to feel the same way, it is just another perspective and can help you see things in a new way. I would recommend this to seasoned yoga practitioners and beginners who are taking classes as there is not a lot of instuction on alignment.

Outstanding.......2005-06-11

These CDs are an excellent substitute for a live teacher, especially for those who may be new to the practice. Ateeka's voice and style are nurturing and easy to follow, with a perfect amount of "coaching". Her focus on getting out of our practice what we need "today" is especially useful for fighting any obsessions with perfection.

I have a few other "virtual" teachers in my library, but she's the one I return to most often.

Beware - Manufacturing problem.......2005-05-06

Great cd from what I could tell. I ordered and reordered Divine flow directly from amazon three times and from an outside retailer with the same manufacturing problem on all four cds. The problem is that the enlighten yin vinyasa cd is a duplicate of the meditation cd.

I love this CD! It is a slower moving flow that gives you time to really get into each pose. There is a booklet included that has pictures of all the poses. I found the instructor's voice soothing and her instructions clear.

There are three workouts on this one CD. First, there is a 70 minute more challenging routine that takes you through sun salutes, standing poses, backbends, and forward bends. The second workout is also 70 minutes and is gentle with more focus on seated poses. Finally, there is 45 minute practice that is mostly just relaxation and breathing.

This would be for someone with some experience (like with a beginner's DVD workout or class so that you can be familiar with poses and actually see them being done)but you don't have to be an expert.
