Vinyasa Flow takes dynamic yoga to a deeper level by integrating rhythmic breathing with conscious movement. As in all physical yoga, you will increase strength and flexibility - and by uniting body and breath, you'll learn to move from moment to moment with absolute awareness. The practice becomes a meditation in action, and can open you to experience the power of Spirit, the connection between us all. Seane Corn's passionate interpretation of this ancient, flowing style of yoga has made her one of the Nation's most sought-after instructors. In her first-ever session on home DVD, you'll experience a stunningly intimate program that will leave you feeling you've just left a one-on-one yoga lesson - with one of the most compelling and inspiring teachers of our time. For anyone who wants more from yoga than its physical rewards, this is a practice to strengthen the power of your mind and heart as much as your body - yoga to validate and celebrate the human experience and reconnect you to your personal sense of Spirit. This Deluxe DVD Edition includes unprecedented instruction & practice options: Instructional Session: Through informative, unscripted live-audio instruction, Seane guides a complete flow practice - with an emphasis on precise alignment - including modified Sun Salutations, standing poses, backbends, twists, meditation and relaxation as well as instruction in Vinyasa breathing technique. 1 hour 12 minutes. Breath Session: The full practice without verbal instruction, demonstrated at a real-time pace driven by the breath and by the soulful music of Suzanne Sterling. This unique distraction-free template for movement and breath offers the ultimate experience of the powerful, meditative grace of Vinyasa Flow yoga. 1 hour. BONUS Interview: A riveting and candid conversation with Seane, - a glimpse into the personal journey, reflections and beliefs of a woman known for her refreshingly honest take on yoga, spirituality and life. 10 minutes.

Really? No verbal cues?
I consider myself an intermediate yoga practitioner. I found this DVD so frustrating! The first disc was overly wordy. I felt Seane wouldn't stop over explaining poses. (Good for beginners possibly?) Oh - and on that topic, she never named the poses. Odd? After watching ten minutes of the first disc, I popped in the second, hoping for some challenging flow.

I was shocked to find absolutely NO verbal cues accompanied her movements. Nothing. This is so disappointing considering you can do serious damage to your neck by looking up in full poses. I really can't believe Gaiam released this DVD. Did anyone on the editing crew actually think about what this might be like to actually follow? How am I to know when to when to move into different poses without watching the screen constantly? I've done hundreds of hours of yoga, and this was by far one of the worst DVD's I've bought. It's near impossible to follow.

I'm sure Seane is a great instructor... when she's actually instructing. I thought I was buying an at-home-yoga-class on DVD. I have no use to watch her move through a beautiful vinyasa.

Save your money. Skip this DVD.

Challenging & Good
My wife & I have a few yoga DVDs. We just got this one. Its challenging for us and Seane Corn is clearly very passionate about yoga. We wish she would have spoken a little slower.

This IS Vinyasa Flow!
So many teachers out there today claim to be teaching Vinyasa Flow, however, Seane Core IS teaching Vinyasa Flow! Shes a master at teaching breath with movement! She is also such an inspiration to anyone taking her class live... AND in this DVD. What I like the most, is the second DVD where you actually get to see her put it all together. Then, you truly get a feel for how beautiful Vinyasa flow is! My hat's (or should I say yoga mat) off to you Seane Corn... the Flow guru! TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION

Great beginner DVD
This is my favorite DVD right now. I just love it.

What I appreciate most about this DVD is the way in which Seane focuses on alignment and breathing in the vinyasa. I also found, for a beginner, that her explanations were very helpful and I notice something new about them every time I use the DVD. I also the way she builds up her "Sun Salutes...to their kind of completion" (as she puts it) piece by piece--I've found Sun Salutes kind of dizzying, so slowly assembling them bit by bit was very helpful. I appreciate very much how much she focuses on alignment. I find she hits a very happy medium for me between hyperactive ashtanga flows (hard for a beginner to jump into...) and the often slow pace of Iyengar beginners classes.

As someone who deals with anxiety issues, I found her discussion in the interview about yoga and her OCD to be very interesting and inspiring.

Excellent Instruction
My husband and I love this DVD and use it often to bring in the new day. We are very active and it feels like this DVD helps with all of our other sports which occur in hilly, challenging terrain. My usual pet peave with instructional dvds regarding lack of breathing and form instructions do not apply here because Corn explains all this in great detail while performing the movements. I appreciate this since you can cancel benefits of any practice/workout with improper breathing and movements. It is long but the chapters are arranged nicely; we usually break it into two segments, around 30 min ea(alternating days). There is also a full session without the instructions (we haven't used that yet since we still benefit from the instructions).
