Pursuit of Happy Hips

This DVD has 4 routines. On most DVDs one of the routines is the "whole" workout and the rest are premixed subsets. However, on this DVD each routine, while it shares footage with the rest also has unique footage. For the complete pose sequence in each routine, use this link:

I have done the longest routine "World Champion Hips". The sequence starts of with a very short sun salutation before getting down to a blend of hip openers and body strengtheners. I have yet to try the other three. In my opinion the PDF in the link above does not do the routine justice. This is my first Eoin Finn DVD and I am very impressed. The pace is luxurious and deliberate. You get enough time to really work into the correct alignment on each pose with great cues from Eoin. You also get the full benefit of great stretch or burn (frequently both!) from holding the pose. I'd heard of Eoin's woo-woo-ness, but I found him fine. He did refer to "pools of honey" or some such thing that I could find in my hips in a stretch, but I did not find him over the top. His follow on team of "elite athletes" is a bunch of yogis who show various levels of flexibility while still maintaining great alignment. He has a quirky sense of humor that is not outright goofy but will draw an occasional smile. The production values are outstanding. I finished the workout with a great sense of satisfaction, feeling deeply stretched and energised.

I bought the DVD before I realised that each routine is available as a download for just $3 at Eoin's Blissology site. One of the best yoga bardgains!
