Description
FIND BALANCE AND HARMONY IN YOUR LIFE ON AND OFF THE MAT Join one of the U.K's most popular yoga teachers for his refreshing and rewarding yin and yang practices. These two styles—one relaxing and deeply rejuvenating, the other dynamic and fluid—balance feminine and masculine and lunar and solar energy, while exploring atillness and movement. Practiced alternately or together, they will help you attain that most elusive of goals: balance—in your body and your life. Yin Practice A series of deeply restorative asanas and yin postures inspired by Taoist Yoga are held for several minutes each. This meditative practice stimulates energy channels, opens the joints, and massages connective tissue, enhancing the body's natural healing process. Modifications are offered for different levels of practice. Approx. 60 min. Yang Practice A continually flowing sequence of poses that build energy, flexibility, and strength. Includes a warming orientation sequence. This section can be set to replay for a longer practice. Approx. 30 min.

 Transported July 17, 2008
The practice in this DVD is incredibly grounding and soothing. Especially the Yin. It was almost like I was on the beach doing the practice with Simon and his two companions. He has an incredible ability with language, I find. He conveys the essence of each pose almost effortlessly. I felt transported to another place during the practice. I find him a very inspirational teacher and very much like this yang style of yoga with the qigong influence. It's quite unusual and I have not encountered many teachers who incorporate these other traditions into a yoga practice. There is a great emphasis on fluidity of movement and finding space in the joints and body, whether it's in the yin or the yang practice. I like the fact that you can make it a shorter or longer practice too. Thoroughly recommended for anyone who wants to take a trip off the beaten ashtanga track. Two thumbs up!

I bought this dvd because of the yin-yang aspects. I had never heard of Simon Low and while he has a wonderful manner and voice, I was a little disappointed in the dvd. I would have liked two 30 minute yangs to do either together or to pick between. The yin yoga had many props, bolsters, blankets, blocks, etc. which he would explain how to get into the pose, but then he would offer an alternative afterwards that didn't require any prop. I would have preferred to hear about the prop-free pose first and then the other. It was definitely restorative yoga. All in all, I will use this dvd on occasion but find I prefer doing Sara Ivanhoe and/or Rodney Yee yoga dvds more.
Beautiful Restorative (Yin) and Energizing (Yang) Yoga June 21, 2008
Yin is a series of deeply restorative asanas inspired by Taoist Yoga and are held for several minutes each. Simon Low leads a wonderful beach-side 1 hour session. The Yang practice is 30 min and can be looped for a longer session. It includes a lovely warm up and then flowing sequence which is a beautiful alternative to repetitive sun salutations.
This is a great addition to my yoga practices. Please see my other reviews on Amazon or check out worldturning dot com for additional information on yoga and meditation videos. Namaste'
