unexpectedly religious

Revisado: 09-19-12

Any additional comments?

One thing that struck me was that the main characters are very religious. It is something that comes out in almost all of the narratives. Some may like this aspect, other may not. I think it's prevalent enough that I was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the description.

More info about the practice

Any additional comments?

I wanted an audiobook class because I never remember what order to do the poses and I have a hard time going longer than 15 mins when I try to freestyle it. This class fit my needs but will not work for everyone. The session covers a lot of the basic poses- sun salutation, triangle pose, half moon pose, etc. There is nothing too advance here (like crow or hand stands); probably the most advance pose is the camel pose.

In my opinion you will need to have a semi-familiarity with poses based on the names. She goes into more detail on the less standard poses (like where to place the hand for reverse triangle) but generally you need to know what a pose looks like on your own.

Other points- the last 10 and half minutes are shavasana (corpse pose), which is more than I???m used to doing. It???s all a matter of opinion but the class can easily be made shorter (or feel shorter depending of on your view). Also, the teacher is straight to the point and avoids talking about harmony with your body or releasing toxins. For me that a plus but I know others might miss having that in their practice.

The worst audible voice to date

Revisado: 01-15-12

Any additional comments?

I really really wish I had read the comments before purchasing this audiobook. I am fan of the series so I didn't investigate the comments, which I intensely regret. The main female character's voice is horrendous. As soon as her character came into the book I had to stop it and re-purchase it in a reading format. Not only was it a terrible southern accent but it was also just comically bad. Seriously, I couldn't listen to it without laughing. I cannot picture 1) anyone sounding like this in real life 2) having anyone finding her alluring. She sounded like an idiot and a caricature of trailer park trash. As a southerner, I find a lot of the audible narrators' southern accents sound incredibly fake. However, this is the first one where I couldn't even bear to listen to it. His other accents are perfectly fine but his absolutely horrific female accent ruined the whole audio experience for me. I highly suggest skipping this audio version and go for a reading format instead. It's a shame how anyone would let a narration done this badly make it to a purchasable audible book.
