Kundalini Yoga for Beginners and Beyond

Well, this has to win my Worst Yoga Video Ever Award, hands down! Kundalini Yoga for Beginners and Beyond by Ravi Singh and Ana Brett is more of a Target commercial and MTV video than a yoga class. You know, my first clue was the midriff-baring woman on the front cover. I realize that short [...]

Maria Theresia & Roberto’s Yoga Therapy

I would have never heard of these folks if it hadn’t been for Bookins, and it just goes to show you that there are yoga gems to be found outside the corporate offices of Gaiam. I am very selective about my yoga DVDs, and I find that most of the mainstream ones offered just don’t [...]

Cork Yoga Blocks!

Yesterday I got my first yoga blocks – cork blocks from Hugger Mugger. I don’t know why I didn’t have blocks before…I certainly could have used them…and these cork blocks are fantastic.

This woman is in damn good shape but to the point of being a plastic, ripped Barbie doll. I actually [...]

Ali MacGraw: Yoga Mind & Body

Ali MacGraw, best known for her role in 1970′s Love Story, produced and starred in this yoga video back in 1994. It is now on DVD and still popular (if online user reviews are any indication). This is one of the first yoga videos I ever owned, and I still have the original VHS version. [...]

Review of FitTV’s Namaste Yoga

It’s not surprising that a shallow, exploitative yoga series would emerge that relies on hot babes instead of good yoga as its theme. That this came out of Canada is what surprises me. Namaste Yoga is the regular yoga series seen on cable’s FitTV. They show a few episodes a day, and from what I [...]
