Product Description

A place to breathe deeply, strengthen and nourish your body, and awaken your spirit.

Yoga can help reverse the aging process by improving flexibility, massaging the internal organs and glands, sending oxygen to all the body's tissues, and enhancing a state of serenity. Breathing deeply into certain postures affects the nervous and lymphatic systems. It helps relieve tight muscles, increases energy and circulation, improves strength, and promotes radiant skin. On a deeper level, it's a tool for observation. It brings us into the present so that we may fully receive what each moment has to offer and teach.

Join Rainbeau Mars and experience yoga in paradise on the breathtaking beaches of Maui. Vinyasa Flow: Pure Tranquility is a gentle practice, designed to open your body and prepare your mind for meditation. For some of us, the real challenge is to be still, quiet and simply be with ourselves.

Pure Tranquility gives you the tools to help balance the demands that are put upon our body, mind and spirit. Replenish the source and you can live in a state of inner peace, vibrancy, health and harmony.

This is truly the heart of yoga. Enjoy!

Wonderfully relaxing for the body AND mind!5
Pure Tranquility is a yoga practice designed to prepare you for meditation by relaxing your body and clearing your mind. Even more so than Rainbeau Mars' Beginners video, this is a truly gentle routine--the entire 30-minute practice is performed on the floor. Throughout the practice, Rainbeau reminds you to concentrate on your breathing in order to allow your mind to become focused. She then leads you through a series of gentle stretches, many of which are recognizable from more traditional stretching programs, such as shoulder and tricep stretches. After throughoutly releasing muscles in the upper body, Rainbeau moves on to gentle twists for the lower body, always focusing on opening the hips as well. When the practice ends, it leaves you in a perfect position for continuing in a seated meditation or reclining on the floor for relaxation pose.

Rainbeau comes across as sort of a young, happy, hippy chick. She provides excellent mirrored cuing and is obviously very knowledgable about yoga. This is perfect practice for anyone who wants a very gentle, very relaxing yoga program, but it would also be a great video for those totally new to yoga and wanting to increase their flexibility through very simple yoga stretches. Highly recommended!

Excellent Yoga for the Mind5
Let me clear the air. If you want a workout from your Yoga, do not look here. Go and look for a Rodney Yee, Bryan Kest, or even a Sara Ivanhoe routine.

This is a very gentle practice, performed seated on the floor and is to prepare your mind for meditation, so don't go expecting rigorous sun salutations.

Rainbeau cues in voiceover, and places proper emphasis on breathing. Her mirrored cueing in this practice is generally done well, if not a bit inconsistent, and there are some minor timing issues where her cues are not in synch with her movements - this is a risk you take when you cue in voiceover, but is not so detrimental as to take away from the practice in any sort.

She takes you through seated twisting postures, stretches and forward bends. While you hold the pose she uses spiritual prose to guide you and help you focus. Some viewers may find this a bit 'airy-fairy'; if so, you should not be looking at any of Rainbeau's practices, since it is obvious that it is not a 'Sacred Yoga Practice' that you are after, but more like a '20min Yoga Makeover' or a 'Fat Blasting Yoga' routine, which you will not find here.

My mother, who suffers from depression, makes fantastic use of this routine. After performing the practice she is calm, relaxed, and free from stress. She makes the most use of this routine, and literally lets go of tension and anxiety.


You will be calm, peaceful, and tranquil.

Highly recommended.

Relaxing, but not much of a workout4
The setting is beautiful (Maui) and Rainbow Mars has such a soothing teaching style. I'm a pretty advanced yoga person, however, so this DVD just sits on my shelf. It would be great for beginners or those who need to start very slow with yoga, plus gain the added relaxation benefits.
