Editorial Reviews:

"The Madonna of yoga, exuding creativity and inspiration" —Yogi Times

Good things flow from a strong core: a long lean torso, a healthy back, a positive flow of energy that benefits every aspect of your life. Now, one of the yoga world’s top female teachers shows you an enlightened way to a powerful core. Unlike repetitive conventional abs work, Shiva’s fluid yoga-based approach awakens your creativity and inner fire, building strength and grace in the same way that surfing, rock climbing, or dancing does—while you’re enjoying yourself, not counting the minutes until it’s over. The program includes three flowing segments, which can be done all at once or individually.

Filmed at White Sands National Park, the program was directed by James Wvinner and shot in HD by Hollywood’s Sion Michel (Memoirs of a Geisha). Beautiful, effective, inspiring. It’s an abs workout you’ll look forward to doing again and again.

Summary: Creative Like It Said
Comment: This is definitely more creative and interesting than just doing your standard crunches! I liked how in certain segments she would let you come up with your own routines instead of following her all the time. I know I felt my abs the next day. Also, I like how you could do the entire workout, approximately 40 mins, or separately, lasting between 10-20 mins each. Overall, a great core workout - everything gets hit: abs, back, and to a certain degree, arms and legs.

Summary: Exceptional outdoor location and narrative
Comment: Very well made video shot at sundown with brilliant scenery. Instructor shows how these yoga-type exercises can enhance your ab workout. Nice change of pace to what I've seen available. Lovely music with drummings. Perfect for an end-of-the-day routice.

Summary: Interesting, kinda yoga, kinda dance-like, builds a nice core warmth
Comment: I ordered Shiva Rea Creative Core Abs DVD from the library interloan system and it came in today! Yay! So here is the review.

Takes place in White Sands National Monument with a drummer on a rock and cool music. There is also a 'just music' option that is nice for just moving to or doing one's own yoga moves.

There are three workouts that can be done on their own or all rolled together. Done together it's a real nice burn for the torso/core in 35 minutes.

In separate sections here are the parts -

Water Core (10 min) - the 'easy' part. A good warm-up but still an excellent core burn. Creative, fun.

Spontaneous Core (8 min) - very tiring - this is really the hardest part, as there is no rest once you get both your head and the hips/legs in the air. The free form part is cool if you like Shiva's style.

Fire Core (17 mins) - Shiva moves fast in this, as she does in this whole DVD. You pretty much have to accept that it's okay to not be able to follow along at first, and not having a ton of structure until you've seen this a few times. This particular section is harder than part one and easier than part two.

I was some reviews on Amazon on this DVD and a lot of people find the last part, the Fire Core, the hardest. The Fire Core has a lot of regular planks, followed by one-legged planks and then this section where you kind of "run in place" while doing planks. Hard to describe but pretty nifty: I felt strong doing that. There are also some flowy warrior poses where you 'draw an arrow on a bow' - also pretty neat - and then whip your arms around while holding warrior 2. Made me feel like Artemis. :)

There is no Savasana in this DVD. I thought that was a bit odd, but I guess this is to be a short, contained core workout and not strictly yoga? Besides a few planks and cobras there are few typical, recognizable poses.

This DVD is experienced beginner to intermediate and I DO NOT think any yoga novice should expect to be able to follow along very closely. Shiva moves quite fast and does not explain what she's doing as she goes.

This is not a boring ab routine. What's best, in my view, is the 'creative' part. There are no crunches, just some really interesting freeform-yet-intense pulsing moves.

Definitely gets your sheen going! I did feel a fire in my belly afterwards, chilling out on the couch with the TV. The inner heat lasted about 20 minutes.

Well recommended for a quick, slightly intense core experience that Shiva stamps with her typically enjoyable creative mark.

Summary: Irritating Exercise
Comment: This DVD gives several options for viewing, unfortunately turning the music off isn't one of them. I never did make it through and entire workout because of this.
