This class isn t asana, it s some gentle stretching and breathing. The instructor never stopped talking.

My lovely London teacher, Rain Maher, studied with Shiva Rea so I felt at home with this practice. I enjoyed it, on a day when I am feeling a bit stiff, & carrying extra belly fat owing to COVID lockdown. The twists are regenerative, balancing poses gently challenging, and I enjoyed the lunar section following the solar flow. Shiva s voice is soothing as is the background music. Cueing not great but it s ok with video.

Not a bad practice. But if you want to feel like you re not strong or flexible enough, this is definitely worth watching.

I purchased these beautiful solar/lunar practices, however they are expired and unwatchable. Extremely disappointed in YogaDownload.

I thought this was going to be a flow, it was more of a meditation with some movement. The whole lunar flow was seated.

I was looking for Shiva Rea s lunar flow and realized it was on yoga download! However, this class was not what I was expecting. I had an article of a lunar flow she did in yoga journal and was hoping this what it. This class was more of a very gentle breath meditation with ocean wave movements. I enjoyed it as it brought calm and restoration to my body, but I really wanted to move around on my mat more; that is the only reason I gave it four stars. Her voice did get softer and louder a few times like other reviewers mentioned, but, to me, it wasn t that distracting. If you are looking for a nice, restorative flow for your practice during your moontime, look elsewhere. But, if you are looking for a gentle, calming moving mediation, this might be right for you!

Shiva Rea is always great and so calming. Nothing more one could ask!

Not a fan of this class... The sound quality is pretty poor, and it seems like the instructor enjoys talking more than teaching. I didn t care for her New Age approach either.

Too much talking without actually saying anything. Unclear directions. I had read that people either LOVE her, or the don t. Don t think I ll be talking anymore of her classes.

Shiva Rea builds up an empowering sequence in cycles of solar and lunar waves, gentle and yet very powerful awakening of core power, twists and expansions. Great to listen to her words and embody her inspirations.

I did just the solar flow, which was disappointing. She talked so much that you couldn t enjoy the poses, and even though is is supposed to stand alone as a class; it felt very unfinished.

I probably won t try the solar flow.

I ve been practicing Yoga for several years, and using audio pod-casts for the last 2 years. This Solar Flow class was the first practice that ever made me feel confused and frustrated. The instructions were really vague and I found my mind working harder than my body just trying to figure out where she was going. I spent an additional 10 minutes calming myself and sending love and prayers to Shiva, thanking her for her attempt to share with us.

Did the lunar flow class & found it odd and way too mellow, and not even restorative. I agree with the commenter who said she felt like Shiva was just floating in her own world.

I am so disappointed with this class. Shiva Rea seems to be floating in her own world while we are left with little to no instructions. The poses are not flowing... I just finished the 45 mins solar flow and I don t even feel like I worked out at all. Very strange class....

Just did the Solar class and found it calming and flowing, but at the same time strengthening and powerful. I liked the pulsing. I can see why Shiva Rea is so highly regarded!

I like the variety in this podcast, but I guess I didn t realize that it was essentially split into two classes- one solar and one shorter lunar. That said, I kind of liked rolling into the lunar part as a form of cooldown, and I ll use this podcast again.

I wanted to like this class, but the poses don t flow well and the soundtrack is very poor -- her voice gets louder and softer and sometimes the words are muffled.

The Solar class is great - nice balance of strengthening and stretching. Simple, fun and easy to follow.

Just finished the lunar flow class. Awesome and different! Love the relaxing and unplugging qualities it has. I decided to do the class because I was not able to wind down, but needed to get rest and sleep, now I am calm and relaxed!
The class definitely has the Shiva Rea movement quality in that she has you do a lot of wave pattern with your body, almost never static poses.
