About the Instructor: Zyrka Landwijt

Zyrka's introduction to yoga began in 1999. After exposure to a variety of methods and styles of yoga, Zyrka began an intensive year-long teacher-apprenticeship program at the Saraswati River Yoga School and began her teaching career in 2002. She is trained in yoga philosophy, mantra, meditation, pranayama and asana by renowned yogini of the Bhairavi Maha Yoga Tradition, Parvathi Nanda Nath Saraswati (Kirin Mishra). Zyrka frequently travels back to the east coast to continue studying with Parvathi as well as other teachers at the Saraswati River Yoga School. She is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 500 hour level.

As yoga is meant to be a direct experience, Zyrka strives to provide a sense of accessibility to all students. As a teacher, her intention is to give students the opportunity to explore these practices and integrate these truths into their own lives.

A Guide to purchasing the right yoga DVD from Real Bodywork!

• First figure out what level you are at: beginner, intermediate or advanced yoga practitioner. This will help to narrow down what yoga DVD you will consider.

• Next decide if you prefer the beauty of an outdoor environment, or the focus of an indoor environment. Watching a teacher filmed indoors can be less distracting, but practicing to a yoga DVD set in a beautiful natural surrounding can also be inspiring. There is no right or wrong here.

• Watch a few minutes of the yoga DVD sample clip. You should enjoy the teacher's voice, since you will primarily be listening to them speak while you practice yoga.

• Look at the length of the yoga DVD. A good yoga DVD should be at least 3 hours long, and offer multiple routines to choose from so that you can vary your practice to fit your mood.

• Finally, decide how much guidance you want during the routine.

Each yoga DVD is different, some offering detailed pose instructions throughout the sequence. This can be great in the beginning, but tedious later on when you already know the correct positioning. Some yoga DVDs don't have much detailed instruction, which is nice when you want to flow with the routine, but doesn't help you to do the yoga techniques correctly.

We have addressed this issue: every yoga DVD that we offer has a pose guide section that goes over each pose in detail, so you don't have to keep hearing the detailed guidance during the main sequences, and you can just flow and enjoy!
