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!

Anatomy and Asana offers an easy and successful method to learn anatomy and its relationship to yoga in a way that helps prevent injuries. It is written by a certified yoga teacher with a diverse background in kinesiology, ergonomics, and physical rehabilitation.

Anatomy and Asana answers many practical questions that are often asked by yoga students – about back pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain; about clenching the butt in back bends, and how to release the hamstrings or prevent hamstring tearing in forward bends. The book combines hands-on information with illuminating drawings, stories, and helpful tips to show you how to practice yoga with less pain. It informs without overwhelming the reader with too much information.

Anatomy and Asana is divided into four parts: basics of anatomy; language of anatomy and movement; the eight essential principles of movement as they relate to yoga; and application of these principles to specific groups of yoga asana: standing poses, back bends, forward bends, twists, and inversions. For each group, the book shows where there is a tendency for injury and what you can do to instill space in your body and thereby prevent injury from occurring.

The core itself is the root of our being, the center of our balance, and in a healthy body is also the root of our movements. Many of us know how to train the “outer core” but are disconnected from our “inner core.” By learning how to reconnect to your inner core, you can prevent/recover from injuries, improve your posture, enhance athletic performance and create more efficient movement patterns.

In this book you will learn: # how to cultivate your core # the difference between the inner and outer core # how to develop strength and ease in both # how to improve pelvic stability # the importance of diaphragmatic movement to stability of the core # the difference between Pilates and yoga breathing # the connection between poor core stability and injury # how to recover from injury by improving core stability # practices that will progressively stabilize and strengthen your core.

The Anatomy of Pilates by Paul Massey

Created by Joseph Pilates during the early 20th century, Pilates is used by millions today to improve their physical and mental well-being. Much of its appeal lies in its simple, low-impact approach, which is ideal for injury prevention, rehabilitation, and general physical health. Based on a series of precise movements and the employment of equipment such as rubber balls and exercise bands, Pilates emphasizes concentration, control, alignment, core stability, and proper breathing.

The Anatomy of Pilates shows what actually happens to the body’s muscles and joints during Pilates exercises. Each two-page spread features detailed anatomical illustrations of an exercise (with muscle actions highlighted in red), a detailed description of the exercise and its objectives, the particular breathing pattern to be used, a list of the specific muscles being worked, visualization techniques, complementary exercises, and more. The Anatomy of Pilates is an accessible, authoritative guide for current and prospective teachers of Pilates, practitioners at all skill levels, physical therapists, and other health professionals.
