Rave New Udaya set - Yoga Elementals with Tony G

[KateTT]

I just have to RAVE about a new Yoga set I picked up from Udaya. Yoga Elementals with Tony G. Tony is new to Udaya but apparently has been teaching for a while.

This set has 6 different classes corresponding to the Earth elements - Space, Earth, Water, Fire, Air all an hour long plus a shorter Yoga-inspired toning workout called Build your Body.
There are also meditations, tutorials, calendar, guide.

What makes this really unique is that this set is NOT on DVD but rather a specially formatted Jump/Flash Drive. I wasn't sure what to think at first, but I had a discount code so I took a chance.

The Flash drive and booklets are packaged in a nice little 'box'. The Drive is not a cheap flimsy thing - its well made and it has engraving on it with the set name.
Very easy to play on any computer. It also comes with instructions on how to use it. Should be able to play on a smart tv too but I've only used it with my laptop so far.

The practices themselves (so far) have been about low Intermediate level, but with Yoga there is always something to learn.
Tony G is a very good instructor. I could listen to his cues and not watch the screen. So far I've done the first 3 practices and really do like it. As you progress through the practices, they get a little harder, but so far nothing has been overly challenging.

I LOVE anything Udaya, so took a chance on this and am glad I did.
If you happen to subscribe to Udaya streaming, Tony's Space practice is on there too. I did that first which persuaded me to buy the set.

Thank you for this! Low-intermediate is exactly my speed. There are 6 classes? How long are they?

Glad to hear this set is a good one!

Kate, I recently did Tony's Space practice on Udaya after reading your review of this one. I did some of Tony's practices when I subscribed to Yoga Collective and was impressed by his cueing. I may have to purchase this one!

Are the videos in HD on the flash drive?

Thanks for the review KateTT.

He also has a couple of classes I found on you-tube which gives you an idea what he’s like as an instructor.

Each class is just shy of an hour long. The toning workout is half hour. A few different times on the meditation with 15 minutes being the longest. The tutorials are just a few minutes each.

Today I did the Fire class. At first I wasn't sure about this because he does the first couple of minutes at such a fast pace. But then all of a sudden slowed down. Much better. This one includes some arm balances like Side Crow and Handstand, also some plank and core work. That builds the "Fire".
With some of the arm balances, I'd say this was a good Intermediate practice. I modified some.

Still lots of nice flow and stretches. Lots of good wisdom too. I forgot to mention this whole set has some really nice mellow music by a guy named East Forest.
