This is a free audio podcast available on iTunes; if you search for Eoin Finn and subscribe to "Blissology with Eoin Finn," you'll get several free audio options, some of which are available on Eoin's web site, some of which, like this one, are not.

Yoga in Bali is a very sweet little 40-minute flow routine. Unlike in some of his previous audio offerings, Eoin takes things at a nice, measured pace. He started the practice in a seated position on the floor for a brief meditation before moving into downward-facing dog pose. Next comes three rounds of sun salutation series A; again, these are performed in a flowing, unhurried manner.

For the sun salutation B series, Eoin takes you through the first flow, which includes warrior 1, triangle, and revolved triangle, quite slowly, allowing you to really feel the postures; you then do a second round at a bit quicker tempo. This is followed by standing forward fold and padhastasana. A final standing series consists of triangle, warrior 2, side angle, half-moon, a 1-legged forward fold.

At this point, Eoin comes to the floor for the some wonderful hip openers, lizard lunge and pigeon pose. He then performs full seated forward bend, happy babies pose, and lying pigeon before concluding the practice with savasana. As his "Blissology" brand implies, Eoin's focus is on promoting happiness, and he certainly does so with this light, breezy practice. :)

Instructor Comments:
Eoin has really gotten the audio format down pat; he does a great job with his instruction, and he is very easy to follow.
