Format:Audio CD
The double CD covers pretty much everything from sun salutations A&B, standing and inverted postures, and stretching and relaxation. You can create/tailor your own practice, in terms of duration and what you want to cover, and examples of rounded sessions are given to fit into whatever time you have.
The CD comes with a poster showing photographs of all the postures, including the steps taken to get into and out of them.
Although I feel this CD could be used by beginners, to get the most out of it I would suggest that you attend at least a few classes beforehand, otherwise it might be a little too fast with not enough explanation.
For intermediates, you can tailor the sessions to cover whatever you wish, and can relax your mind not having to worry about which asana to do next and just listen to the instructions.
My only real criticism is that not enough attention or instruction is given to breathing throughout the CD, which to beginners is vital. I also found that I couldn't breathe slowly enough to keep in pace with the instructions, and was therefore breathing unaturally slowly. The music during the final relaxation was also too loud and distracting.
In summary, if you were to take out the music and speed it up a fraction, this CD would be very good.

This is my first yoga cd I ever bought after having lots of videos andbooks, I don't understand why Amazon don't sell it anymore cuz it seemslike a successful product. Anyway I bought it from soundstrue website at afair price.I've done the cd twice already and I love it, you have lots ofpossibilities on these 2 cd's of tailoring your own workouts which shementions in the nice booklet, you also get a beautiful big poster of allthe asanas in the cd's by their order.In these yoga cd's there are a lotof challenging poses like in the balancing track, but the overall feelingI get from these cd's is very relaxing, probably because of Shiva'ssoothing voice and the beautiful music in the background, but youdefinetly get a good workout at a moderate pace.It is definetly a nicechange from the usual videos /dvd's we do since you don't have to squintat the tv!

I took me a while to get used to this cd. I found it very difficult and tiring at first, and abandoned it and all yoga for a while. However, having been rejuvenated by discovering kundalini yoga through excellent dvds from Raviana, Maya Fiennes and Carolyn Cowan, I needed something that would stretch me a bit further and leave me feeling like I'd really pushed myself.
And there was this cd, staring up at me from the bookshelf. This time I feel much more able to get into the flow; Shiva Rea's voice is great for helping me to get into a meditative state, even while my legs are telling me they'll collapse if I don't pull out of Warrior 2 this instant. The series of asanas are very well structured to bring your energy and heartrate up gradually, and there's a handy fold-out of the postures so you know you're on the right lines. I found this very useful - with dvds I hardly ever look at the screen anyway; the hand out tells you where you should be aiming for just as well.
I only really use the solar practice, I prefer yan yoga (good dvd from Simon Low) for a quieter, stretching yoga session, but for me it's worth the money for just the solar cd - to have the lunar as well is great value for money and I would recommend it to anyone.

Good all round practice
I love using this CD for my practice at home. You need at least a basic level of knowledge of the different poses as you will flow through them pretty quickly at times. Read more

Yoga CD
I bought it for my wife at her request.
I assume it does what she wants, but I really have no idea what it offers or whether this is achieved.
