Dharma Mittra - Maha Sadhana Level 2

I thoroughly enjoyued this DVD of the master Dharma Mittra. I've studied with Dharma at his studio and it was great to see him again looking terrific. Its astonishing what he can do at his advanced age. Very inspiring and with that special sense of "mischief" and Huor Dharma brings to his teaching. Get it a classic.

I am in very good shape and find most intermediate practices to be fairly easy but this one is definetly far advanced. If your new/intermediate do not bother even trying this and that is not meant to be a challenge. Some of the poses I really enjoy and find dynamic but their are some that are just really intense. I believe I'm looking for more of a flowing power yoga that strengthens muscle and constitutes a workout (which this obviously does) but without breaking a wrist. I'm sure the hard core yogi will jump on this review but this practice is definetly not intermediate and already assumes you've mastered more challenging positions rather than being instructive. I would recommend this to the person who is looking for an advanced practice to further their poses rather than someone wanting to learn them.

I use this dvd set daily as part of my practice. The entire set of level one and level two maha sadhana will give you a complete practice you can use for years to come. By using this set which comprises all the various forward and backward bends and twists it hits all the major movements in a complete asana practice while building upon each other for a beautiful total comprehensive set of asanas which prepare the practitioner for any yoga class. I recommend this set for the beginner as well as the accomplished practitioner.The pranayama and meditation segments are a beautiful addition to complete the practice.The excerpts this master yogi includes in both dvds are 50 years of wisdom he shares with his students to convey the true meaning of yoga.

Namaste,This DVD has the feature of choosing between Intermediate and Advanced Intermediate practices. Within each of these, you can choose from 3 different practice lengths.Although Dharma is very precise in his asanas, I found his approach to be too repetitious. The primary focus of all practice choices is the Shiva Namaskaar repeated over and over again in rounds. There are only a handful of poses woven into the repeating Shiva Namaskaar.This offering is definitely for yogis solidly at the intermediate level or above. Yogis looking to expand on the variety of poses in their practice may want to consider other DVDs. Om.

I bought this DVD never expecting the results I got: my legs are toned, the salutation part is very aerobic and it really stretches my spine and abs. A great workout!A Note on The Seller: I wouldn't buy this DVD from InnerSelf Market, the DVD they sold me is defective and they don't have a customer service that returned my written messages. They don't list a phone number either.

I love the poster (you know, the famous one with the hundreds of poses), but the DVD is sorely lacking. I am an experienced yogi with a daily practice of Hatha Vinyasa, Yin, Ashtanga, and Kundalini, however I found this very hard to follow because of his heavy accent. The sequencing and pace didn't appeal to me, either.

This is the best yoga DVD ever. Dharma Mittra is so inspiring I actually look forward to practicing every day. The discourses have helped me understand so much more/

Beginner & intermediate options. I liked the interviews as well.

I practice this sequence everyday, some nice extras.
