Sacred Yoga Practice with Rainbeau Mars Vinyasa Flow Pure Power
Yoga can help reverse the aging process by improving flexibility, massaging the internal organs and glands, sending oxygen to all the body’s tissues, and enhancing a state of serenity. Breathing deeply into certain postures affects the nervous and lymphatic systems. It helps relieve tight muscles, increases energy and circulation, improves strength, and promotes radiant skin. On a deeper level, it’s a tool for observation. It brings us into the present so that we may fully receive what each moment has to offer and teach.
Join Rainbeau Mars and experience yoga in paradise on the breathtaking beaches of Maui. Vinyasa Flow: Pure Power is designed to align, strengthen and stabilize your body, mind and spirit. Evolving from the traditional Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Flow focuses on integrating breath and movement, awareness and alignment, strength and flexibility. Vinyasa Flow Yoga is likened to a beautiful and dynamic dance as the postures and asanas are connected through breath and balance.
Pure Power focuses on core strength and alignment, as we integrate towards our center, or core, we increase our courage and the ability to meet all that life has to offer.
Enjoy your own courage and strength as you wake up, strengthen, and enjoy the Pure Power journey.
User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars yoga dvd
Just too simple for my taste. Too short and not really flowing nor challenging for intermediate level. More of a beginners short practice, no problem with this except it is not advertised this way, specially with the cover, which has NOTHING to do with the actual practice.
4 Stars I come back to this one again and again…
This is a well done video. It is set outside on a cliff over the ocean, which is nice instead of a studio. As other reviews have already stated, it is a medium/intermediate challenge. Before buying you should know that there is only one workout on this video, which is why I gave it only 4 stars. However, I use this video at least once a week. The majority of the moves focus around doing planks, down into cobra, back up into down-dog, step into forward bend etc. She does many variations of this, some more challenging with one leg up.
5 Stars Dr. Beth Chollete & Rebecca Johnson wrote great reviews
Since they already wrote all the great & different poses she uses which is different then some yoga dvds, I can add only that it also has the option of 5.1 surround sound so you can hear the Hawaiian ocean waves behind her.
The poses really work on building muscle strength, she really works the upper body with going up/down in chaturanga & her chair pose is 100x deeper, lower & harder to do then any other yoga dvd I’ve done.
Her personality is great, she’s matter of fact with gentle optimism. Some lines are “stay conscious of the back, so you’re not overreaching, the lower back houses the kidneys, maintain a fullness in your back to optimize good health & alignment,” “You must sink to rise up,” “extend strongly though the feet, the inner thighs will follow,” “with strength in your arms, lower yourself to the floor,” “remember to balance your effort w/surrender” “if you need to modify, it’s perfectly ok, you will still build strength,” “even the most beautiful lotus grows in dirtiest of ponds.”
She is great with cues to remind you to keep going such as what organs each pose helps, not to get discouraged, analogies to really picture what you are trying to accomplish, etc. & to move through it. She’s not fake happy, she tells you she understands it’s tough, but it’s worth it for your health to challenge yourself & do your best.
No,this isn’t an advanced yoga workout, this is high beginner/low intermediate workout.
You can see her passion & ability to do yoga in clips on you tube.
4 Stars Effective
Buy it and you will not regret it. If you are advance level, it will be a nice medium level workout. Newbies will get a tough workout. It is nice intermediate workout and you work up a little sweat, if you listen and follow the cues. Perfect time frame.
5 Stars Good short Power Yoga Practice
About myself:
I train in Power Vinyasa Yoga since about six Years. I practice every day.
I’m also a Power Yoga Teacher at a local Hotel Spa Fitness Club.
I personally prefer complete and challanging Workouts that still contribute to all aspects of Yoga.
Beeing german my english spelling is pretty bad. Excuse me for that.
About the product:
It’s a good short programm. You can’t train one hour every day, and short programms like this are perfekt for the days in between. The programm is physically challanging with some pretty unique variations to create upper Body Strength. An experienced Yogi can make it even more challanging by making some little variations like going from Chaturanga ( Low Plank Position) straight up to Upward Dog instad of lying down and than rising to Cobra as Rainbow does.
Rainbow Mars is a very nice encouraging Yoga Teacher. And to comment on some Reviews calling her to “New Age”: She is a Yoga teacher, so she should talk a little colorfull ;-). This is Yoga Friends! You shouldn’t be distracted by sentences like : “Melt down to the earth” or “offer your heart to the sky”. These are actually Pictures that are helpfull for your practice if you try to be open minded with it. And even if it might be a little to much somtimes, who cares?
I highly recommend this programm!
