Yoga Props, Clothing & Jewelry for your Yoga Life

Kundalini Yoga for Beginners & Beyond has been 1 of Amazon’s best-selling yoga DVDs for awhile. Now I know why:  Among its many attributes are upbeat instruction; an energetic soundtrack; and Matrix Menu that allows you to choose specific segments based on your mood and available time.

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ ’bout!

Yoga for Beginners & Beyond: Stretch, Strengthen, Be Stress Free! is a wonderful DVD for those new to yoga and also for long-time practitioners desiring something new. Although it’s designed for beginners, it offers enough challenges so that those who are already in shape will feel like they got a full-body workout.

Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga Power Hour with Sadie Nardini is the best yoga DVD for yogis desiring to take their practice from beginner to the next level. Length is 60 minutes long: 40 minutes of floor-flow and a 20 minute wall-flow.

I’ve yet to find a yoga instructor that I like more than Rodney Yee. Yee appeared in my first yoga video, Yoga Journal’s Yoga Practice Series, which for me was life-changing. His no-nonsense, knowledgeable, cheerful delivery motivates; his fluid precision inspires. On top of that, he seems like an affable guy, plain and simple.

The 7th chakra, the Crown Chakra, is known as the “thousand-petaled lotus,” a symbol of purity and spirituality. It is our highest energy center, both in terms of physical location and rate of vibration. This chakra brings great knowledge, deep understanding, inner-wisdom, and a connection to the highest state of enlightenment and spiritual growth. It represents union with the higher self, the cosmos, and the divine.

The 5th chakra, the Throat Chakra, is associated with sound and involves creative self-expression, speech and communication. The ability to speak honestly,  receive, process and assimilate information,  and to connect with and speak our inner-truth all relate to the 5th chakra. The first of the “upper chakras,” the Throat Chakra is our center of transformation and change.

Our capacity for giving and receiving love is directly related to the fourth chakra: the heart chakra. When the heart chakra is in balance, we radiate warmth and compassion, and genuinely enjoy our friends and relatives without expecting anything in return. We accept others for who they are, focusing on their positive attributes and overlooking the negative. It is as Jesus instructed, “Love thy neighbor.”

Each day, we are required to make decisions and take steps to implement them. Your ability to decide confidently and act resolutely is governed by your third chakra: the Solar Plexus Chakra.
