Creative
Core + Upper Body
with Shiva Rea...”
ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH SHIVA REA DVDs will know what to expect from
this amazing and world-renowned yoga guru. Following on from the success of
Creative Core Abs and Creative Core + Lower Body, Shiva has added
another DVD to her core yoga programme — and this time she focuses
on the upper body to ease you gently into a programme with which you can be
confident.
Shiva Rea Creative Core + Upper Body works on total body strength, flexibility
and stamina. Shiva shows you the way to harness your sacred strength and activate
your full potential. It is an innovative and exciting alternative to repetitive
crunching and weightlifting.
Taking care while using this programme is of primary concern. Along with the
cautions that always accompany Acacia's fitness DVDs, Shiva emphasises the need
to go at your own pace and not to push yourself beyond your body's capabilities
— leave the challenges until you are more experienced.
Even the busiest of yoga fans can see incredible results as this flowing yoga
practice tones the core back, arms and shoulders. Shiva works her way through
25 minutes of Agni Namaskar, 8 minutes for Creative Core and a relaxing wind-down
with two minutes of Shavasana (deep relaxation).
Shiva offers excellent advice and her full explanations of each section make
it easy to follow her programme — although novices should not expect to
get all the body positions right first time! It takes practice. Using your own
body rhythm, Shiva takes you through nine sets of twelve push-ups, encouraging
total relaxation, controlled breathing and commitment to your inner fire. By
using this programme you will achieve full core alignment both externally and
internally.
Shiva Rea's expert tuition and attention to detail will help you to achieve
your goal by following the practical instructions and taking care to only work
within your fitness level boundaries.
As you end the programme with Shavasana (deep relaxation), your body connects
with the Earth and you feel relaxed and at peace. Filmed at Limahuli Garden
on location on Kauai, Hawaii, Shiva Rea Creative Core + Upper Body is
a lovely, calming way to bring your body and mind into perfect balance.
