Yoga for Beginners: Body + Soul - DVD

Yoga is one of the best ways to cultivate a connection between your mind and body. It tones muscles, increases flexibility, calms the mind, and can improve overall health. Elena Brower is instructor.

Filmed in a serene garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these two beginner level yoga programs are designed to help you receive all of the benefits that yoga has to offer and feel like you are getting one-on-one instruction in the comfort of your home. The Foundations Program is based on common Hatha postures that are the basis of most yoga practices. It will help you improve your flexibility, build strength and stress as you increase your confidence with yoga. The Slow Flow Program links postures together in a way that is easy to follow. It will help increase your muscle tone, boost your energy level, improve your balance and leave you feeling rejuvenated. The Bonus Guided Meditation requires nothing more than the focus of your mind yet the results can be powerful. Meditation has been known to help people to relax, feel more centered, be more present in every moment and live life to the fullest.

Yoga is a wonderful way to reduce stress, increase strength, tone muscle, cultivate flexibility, and improve overall health. Filmed on a rich, tranquil location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these two 30-minute programs offer great variety for your practice. The Hatha session will relieve stress, increase flexibility and recharge circulation as it guides you step-by-step through a breakdown of static poses using the strap, belt or towel to aid in stretching. The Flow session will build strength and stamina by taking postures from Ashtanga yoga and sequencing them into a simple, natural flow that aids in weight loss, tones muscle, improves balance and calms mental focus. These two diverse programs may be practiced individually but are also perfect to complement each other in the same day. Enjoy both sessions as they create breath awareness and foster clarity between your mind, body and spirit to help you realize your optimal potential.
