Yoga Journal Presents: Iyengar Intensive at Estes Park DVD Set

Who am I to "review" the work of the "guruchi"?So, let me make it clear that what I am about to say, is no way a review of "him" per se; it is a review of the contents of these particular DVDs. In other words, it is a review of the information that is intented to be given in this set of DVDs. Having made that clear: in my opinion, this is a very good set of CDs for "the yoga teacher" only.Which means: although a very valuable set for a teacher, especially for those who are short on either money and/or time to go and get the information and the experience "live" - on the spot; I would not recommend this for a novice student. Maybe OK for a seasoned student, just maybe...Very valuable tips for teachers, about teaching methodology, also. No matter what kind of yoga you are teaching, the info in these DVDs provide a valuable insight to everything that you don't know; or thought that you already knew!!...Nevertheless, it is only "a glimpse" of the guruchi's wisdom and intelligence. As he himself also keeps repeating in the DVD, it would have been impossible for him to transfer all his knowledge in such a short amount of time, and setting.

Es un poco lenta la explicación. Pero se aprende mucho con este video sobre ésta técnica. Tiene más que todo la parte de conocimiento y menos la parte de práctica

I received a damaged 5 DVD set due to poor shipping. It was shipped in plain cardboard through media mail with no bubble wrap protection. No wonder it was damaged. Who would send a fragile DVD set through the mail in thin cardboard. OVERMAN 2000 would! When I returned it in manner requested, I never received my promised replacement despite 3 further emails through overman2000 and 1 through amazon email contact. Overman2000 never responded to my emails. I had to create a charge dispute with my credit card company. I have the same complaint about no response by overman2000 as the buyer axisman54. His review was on December 30, 2009.

I don't want to sit around and chant. I want to do exercises.

If you are a yogi, I would not recommend this book. Has information you already know. Waste of money!

This is an awesome DVD for ADVANCE STUDENTS or TEACHER that want to LEARN more about PROPER ALIGNMENT IN YOGA. This is not a workout.I rented this first and then bought it. The price was steep enough that I wanted to see the goods before I bought them. I found it delightful. Iyengar, is, well, Iyengar.... difficult, demanding, charming and caring. This pack is NOT AN EXERCISE video - it is a live filmed workshop. If you want to learn how to do the poses correctly, with proper alignment this is what you want, if you just want something to exercise to this is a real waste of money. It is geared toward the serious student, not the serious exerciser. If you just want exercise you will be VERY disappointed. If you want to take the time to learn, and be able to rewind (instead of asking him to repeat) then this is the one you want!

This is the easiest most efficient most fun way to experience bks Iyengar with his best teachers. We went to Pune, which takes a lot of effort oh, and this is much easier and you can also then rewind and repeat areas that favor your needs. While severely ill for 7 years this helped save me, creating a routine which is really important when one is in a lot of pain or suffering from any condition. Now we only need to do it one time a week and Bikram one time a week in my home. The only other series we use is John Fiends ansura basic training, which is also phenomenal.
