Review It's always a pleasure to watch a gentle yoga practice that continues to grab your attention while lulling you into deep, passive poses. Zyrka Landwijt was trained by Parvathi Nanda Nath Saraswati of the Bhairavi Maha Yoga tradition. Landwijt is the perfect model for these sequences; her movements are economical and never hurried, her voice clear and soothing. This DVD consists of two general series, each beginning with a foundational 30 minute routine. A second and third sequence add a few more passive poses to the first. Most of the poses are done sitting, kneeling, or reclining, prone, or supine. There's also a pose guide that supplies hints on how to better perform 23 of the poses found in these six gentle sequences. --Yoga Journal- November 2008 About the Actor Zyrka Landwijt: Zyrka's learned yoga at a year-long teacher-apprenticeship program at the Saraswati River Yoga School and began her teaching career in 2002.
