I went to a Jivamukti workshop in Lincolnshire with a lady called Andrea. I had never come across this practice before, but absolutely loved the complexity of it, so I decided to buy this dvd.
The two instructors are the founders of Jivamukti yoga and I had the option of having the female or male voiceover. Both of these were relaxing and soothing.
The practice itself is 60 mins long and it is difficult to master initially because asanas are held for longer periods of time. The shoulderstand and headstead are held for 25 breathes and I never realised how slow that was!! It is an invigorating practice and initially I felt I didn't 'get on' with it. However, I now found that I feel liberated and strangely invigorised after the practice, which includes meditation and relaxation at the end.
The music is beautiful and is played on original instruments in the background and really makes this dvd top dog in my estimation.

I bought this DVD a few years ago. As a teacher of yoga myself (British Wheel), being a mum of 3,wife, working and studying, I no longer have time to attend yoga classes as I did in the past. Although I practice and teach my own style of yoga, it is so nice to put on a DVD, just for myself at home and be guided through a practice. Some of these postures may be quite difficult to do and it may be an idea to read up on some of the postures to help you get into them and to find some alternative and/or modifications. But as it says in the DVD "just do the best you can". I have found this is one of the best complete practices on DVD that I have come across and I feel that I have come to know Sharon and David as I practice with them. I use it as often as I can and to me this DVD represents the whole beauty and meaning of yoga. As yoga is an 'experience' and not just about physical exercise, then this DVD is the best I have found in leading you towards this. Last year I also purchased their other DVD 'Power to the Peaceful Warrior', which is a little different,shorter and perhaps a little easier with great music. However I still prefer the 'Transform Yourself' DVD and always feel recharged, peaceful and strong after completing it. I would highly recommend buying it and to use it regularly.

This is an introduction to Jivamukti suitable for someone who has never done any yoga. The class is structured to be very physically gentle. However, I did think that aside from the physical simplicity of the class, that there could have been more subtle details about the asanas. I have taken several Jivamukti classes and they are usually both more vigorous and detailed than this video, so I was surprised. As a regular practitioner of yoga, I would recommend the instructional DVDs that focus on particular sequences rather than this very general practice.

jivamukti yoga
Good dvd but only really covers the salute to sun sequence and not a lot else. The presenteres voices are a bit irratating and put me of a bit.
All in all not too bad.

It's challenging, but worth it
I use this dvd regularly as part of my home practice and it really does challenge me each time. I like the ethics that Jivamukti present, they are not the standard yoga teachers. Read more
