Yoga Shakti offers four hour-long vinyasa sequences: Foundation, for a well-rounded practice of the basics; Solar Flows I and II, to build heat in the body and build strength; and Lunar Flow, a slower-paced routine appropriate for the end of the day. In an innovative twist, the DVD also allows viewers to choose components of each practice to build a personalized routine (combinations and sequencing suggestions are offered). Shiva Rea, who is best known for her incorporation of dance and other nontraditional influences into classical Ashtanga yoga, leads the practices on the beaches of India and the Maldives Islands.
