Editorial Review:
Description: Yoga Inside Out - Go Deeper focuses on body mechanics and optimal alignment to maximize the benefits of yoga practice and expand strength and flexibility at the intermediate - advanced level.
Created by Paula Tursi, Founder and Director of NYC-based Reflections Yoga, the program focuses on awareness of the mechanics and dynamics of the spine to deepen the benefits of yoga practice by fully developing the body's potential for balanced spinal elongation, extension, and the rotations found in a wide range of yogic asanas. The program also teaches a deeper approach to hip and shoulder opening through correct alignment of the spine.
Paula's lesson in yoga body mechanics emphasizes the correlation between the neck and the lower back and teaches balancing the dynamic alignment of the spine. We tend to move from the more mobile parts of the spine - neck or lower back - leaving out the thoracic spine which results in loss of depth and range of motion. We become vulnerable to referred nerve pain such as sciatica, headaches, or disc problems.
Approaching the the body as finely-tuned instrument, Paula offers an 80-minute yoga practice built on developmental progressions of asanas and designed to enhance body awareness and unlock it's hidden potential. She focuses on the fact that truly effective and functional movement or asana starts first from the inner body, then radiates out, assisted by breath and balanced alignment.
Throughout the practice, Paula and two assistants demonstrate different levels within the intermediate-advanced range, and provide variations for different levels of fitness and flexibility.
A superb method for taking your yoga practice to a new level, Paula's program is great for body conditioning and weight-loss.

Rating: - Yoga Inside Out go deeper is an excellent dvd
This yoga dvd is excellent. Paula Tursi's detailed explaination on the spine and her student that demonstrated the yoga poses was so informative and the visuals added to the understanding of the spine and how it works. I would recommend this also to beginning students as well as intermediate and advanced. I teach yoga and have recommended this dvd to my students to purchase.
Rating: - Great practice
This is a wonderful DVD, however, I would say it's more for the beginner yogi (1-3 years of practice) I would highly recommend this dvd if your beginning students want to work on going deeper with their home practice. I would recommend checking out Tamara's Yoga FusionTAMARA'S YOGA FUSION
Rating: - Useful but nowhere near an advanced practice.
I have been practicing at home for some time now. If you are looking for an intermediate to advanced dvd, pass on this one. The best part is the chapter she spends explaining the spinal movements. As for the practice, I highly recommend it for a beginner.
(There are 2 or 3 moves beyond the beginner level)
Rating: - Discover, challenge, connect
The is the second Yoga instructional program by Paula Tursi.It is lengthy, detailed and rich in benefits. If you purchased her first program ,"Yoga, the healing way", you will be well on your way to this advanced level. To begin, there is a remarkable introduction into the program with powerful words from Paula before beginning the program:
"The deepest human drive is the drive to find connection. We spend most of our lives feeling disconnected to ourselves and our bodies or other people. We spend our time looking to others to help us regain our connection when we are looking for is already apart of us. What we fear most of all is looking into ourselves. We fear this more than the loss of connection. In yoga we are able to see realistic, so that the body does not make unrealistic demands to fill mental desires."
To begin: Understanding how the spine works; Paula and student, and "Elvis the skeleton" demonstrate anatomy and functionality of the spine. Correct body alignment during asanas to prevent injury during spinal twists, frightened cat and cow, warrior poses, learning to elongating the spine to avoid injuries. A beautiful concept on how the body operates in spirals rather than straight lines.
A breathing segment follows: "Breath of fire, pranyama , three part breath, ujjayi breathing warming the body for vinyasa practice.
All asanas are demonstrated by three different body types, very viewer friendly and allowing for realistic goals in personal practice. ... Read More
Rating: - Paula's work is powerful and inspired
I really enjoyed this DVD. I loved the anatomical instruction in the
beginning and the ability to follow anyone of the three people who are all
doing useful variations. I am a beginner and it gave me a good place to
start, and then the ability and encouragement to see where I could go. I
also really appreciated the use of real people in the DVD. It wasn't a super model workout, but one that is realistic and for real people. I also like how it was broken down into sections so when I don't have the time I can just work on Sun Salutes if I want to. There is also a great part for breathing and meditation that I have used by itself. I would have like the location to be more inspiring, but the teaching was so clear and multi-leveled that I didn't bother me as much.
