Radiant Flow with Janet Stone Review
I bought the 2 Janet Stone DVD's from her website , I am a Shiva Rea fan and I heard she was one of Janet's inspirations. If you own Shiva Rea's Fluid Power and Creative Core Abs you will notice a lot of the moves and variations of poses. I liked this practice better than Mellow Flow which I didn't find so mellow. Radiant Flow is challenging and fast paced though I wish it was slower so I can concentrate in the poses better but it is still a fun and sweaty flowing practice. Here is a description of the practice but I probably forgot some poses and it isn't necessarily in order - It starts sitting and chanting om once , then it moves to some poses in kneeling position like kneeling bow and kneeling side bow stretch. there were some up dog / down dog fluid vinysas , deep lunge with a tricep stretch , lunge with twist , chair with twist with no hold , just moving in and out of the pose 3 times each side. warrior 1 with eagle arms to warrior 3 with eagle arms (tough) bound warrior 2 to triangle ,yogic squat to wide legged standing forward bend with several variations and tripod headstand , a full split , a strange lunge position that goes straight into side crow with legs straight (which you can see on youtube) , crow and the scorpion plank / down dog to side plank/bridge from Shiva's Dancing Warrior 1008 is repeated a few times throughout the practice. I have to say that I felt a burn in my legs after the standing sequence.
It also has a core sequence (similar to Shiva's) with backbends - dolphin to forearm plank with pulses and then sphinx to plank with pulses (tough), leaning back while kneeling and then camel pose. several core exercises on the back and bridge with several varaitions (with one leg for instance) plow to seated forward bend , supine poses and then plow again with shoulderstand ,then shavasana. I wish there were more backbends since it's a good preparation practice for backbends. the music is good (shaman's dream).

Customer Reviews
The toughest Vinyasa Yoga I've done...loved it - James E. White - Oak Park, IL
Janet Stone's Radiant Flow is geared towards yogis/yoginis with some experience under there belts or at least very gifted beginner (e.g. flexible person coming from dance background). The poses flow quickly and challenging. For instance, Janet has a series that leads into a side crow pose (balancing your body on both arms one leg to the side the other straight back). This in and of itself is not easy, but the sequence leading up to the pose is what really sets this apart from many yoga DVDs I've owned. I have read some criticism of her DVDs that they are too expensive for what you get. That you should get 2-3 sessions for the money. Honestly, this one flow is better than anything else I've done to date and that includes accomplished Yoga instructors like Shiva Rea and Debbie Dobbins (both of whom make awesome Yoga DVDs, and I consider them the gold standard in this area. So if you are an experienced practitioner looking for the next level in your yoga practice, this is a must buy.
Janet Stone's Radiance Ripples into my Being and out into my World - Maddy Avena - N. CA
I've just done this DVD for the first time. I've been wanting both these DVDs (Radiant Flow and Mellow Flow) for a long time after trying her CD, so when my mother sent me some money for my birthday, I treated myself to both.
The flows were creative and interesting, balanced, heart opening, challenging, always in movement, in breath, in love. I am sitting here feeling like a flower that was just watered deeply and is now being embraced by the sun and the sweet air. I didn't want it to end. I wish I lived closer to San Francisco. I'd go to Janet's Saturday morning class every week that I could.
I'll let other reviewers be quantitative in their reviews. All I can really say is that I felt my own beautiful strength in everything I did in such a joyful and gentle way. I am convinced that if everyone did Janet Stone yoga, there would be Peace on Earth.
(Just a caution: This is not a beginner's practice, but definitely one to aspire to.)
My sanity DVD - David A. Barnard - Paradise, CA
Janet and Shaman's Dream (the music) are the best part of my day. She makes me work hard while honoring and loving myself and my limitations. More advanced moves are so fun and challenging! I prefer this over Ashtanga now.
