Summary: 5 Stars
"Yoga is a practice of awakening and connecting with all that is." ~Cyndi Lee
Yoga opens your inner world and as you complete the poses, you actually grow and change and become a person who is more aware of the world and yet the world influences you less. You start to connect with the deepest levels of your inner self and as you continue practicing yoga, you start to feel very good about the poses you have mastered. In this way, you also start to boost your self-esteem, all while being very aware of how you affect everyone in your world.
Cyndi Lee has a unique and very effective method of introducing you to yoga. She has a fun almost playful approach. She is the director of the OM yoga center where she teaches hatha yoga. She has been teaching yoga for over 20 years, but her pictures look like she is ageless. Yogi Mitchell Wolf joins her in this workout.
Her beauty represents the deeply calming benefits of yoga. Her work has been featured in Shape, New York Magazine, Yoga Journal, Elle, Forbes, Newsweek and Self. She writes a regular column and lives in New York City. She travels to lead workshops and retreats in places like London, France, Italy and the Virgin Islands.
I wish I had found these boxed sets a long time ago. Each box contains everything you need for yoga practice besides a blanket and a yoga mat. I'd also like to recommend a soft blanket or comforter, a pillow and yoga blocks if you are just starting your practice.
This box contains 2 Compact Discs, flash cards, a yoga belt (nice feature!), a candle, incense and an incense holder. The 2 Discs are in a durable little book with additional information.
The first CD is an instructional CD that guides you through yoga poses meant for two people.
When you open the box it is like an exotic experience. The Bodhi Sattva incense has permeated the entire box and everything has the scent of "celestial sandalwood."
Once you start the CD you soon realize that there is a method here. You have enough time to quickly place the cards out in order so you can see all the poses. This is very effective and unlike most yoga workouts on video, you can actually see the poses while you are doing them. A lot of yoga poses have you looking straight down at the ground, so it is great if you have cards placed out where you can see them. The pictures allow you to quickly figure out which pose you will be doing next.
Each flash card has information on both sides. When viewing all the cards from the top, it is easy to see the different colors of cards and separate the cards into sections. What I loved most about the cards is the names of the poses and the additional information on each card.
One side has sketches and on the other side of the card, you will see Cyndi Lee and Mitchell Wolf illustrating the poses. This is a very authentic yoga workout.
Part One: Introduction
Part Two: Warm Up
Part Three: Yoga Class
Part Four: Cool down and Relaxation
The second CD is an amazing musical experience complete with bamboo flutes, guitar and percussion. David Nichtern, Steve Gorn and David Belmont have created music for when you want to experience the benefits of Yoga without instruction. The third track is a luminous raga. Additional information on the tracks and artist is included for further exploration.
OM Yoga is a well-organized system that provides a quiet sanctuary where you can regain physical strength and mental clarity. There is an emphasis on the breath and you can create your own practice sessions with the cards and CD. This boxed set is designed to increase a feeling of intimacy with your partner. This is really a yoga dance where you stretch, strengthen and tone your body with a partner. Some of the postures are helpful for making stretching more effective and there is even a back massage segment.
