Yoga Shakti will be almost impossible for anyone who has not learned the basic yoga positions and breathing exercises, and could even lead to injury if not properly warmed up from past yoga experience. But if you have moved through the basic levels, and you feel you are ready for something a little harder, this is a great place to move to.

Because they are not actually that hard, just more so than the first level stuff you are exposed to in beginner classes, it is a a naturally progressive step to the truly complex moves and workouts you see from advanced gurus. Many will find that using this stepping stone is much more beneficial than bursting to the other side, and trying to do the advanced moves without proper reference.
