This two disc set is the first in a series that features the inspired yoga of Max Strom. This practical and beautiful DVD presents an introduction to yoga that is easily accessible to the beginner-to-intermediate practitioner. It is easy to follow, yet also challenging. Too many people confuse yoga with simply being an exercise regime for the body, while others worry yoga is overly spiritual. The classes presented are a holistic practice for developing strength, grace, and healing, of the body, emotions, and mind. Although Yoga appears to be primarily physical, its benefits are far reaching. This is the first yoga DVD to make full use of the most popular features offered by the DVD format, including: • Two separate lengths of a beginning level yoga practice – a 45 minute version and a 90 minute version. • A Workshop option allowing further instruction on difficult-to-master poses. • Special segments to help you practice meditation, and to get a deeper understanding of yoga. • Three audio options: Max’s voice alone, music, or both. Max Strom is known for his transformational classes and for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students with his soulful, gregarious nature, and profound integrity. Over 400 students a week come to learn his unique Vinyasa-style yoga which integrates Yoga, Chi Gong, and Movement therapy. His rigorous and flowing classes purify and realign the body, while cultivating a feeling of deep inner peace. Max Strom is the founder and director of Sacred Movement Yoga in Los Angeles, now merged with Exhale Mind/Body/Spa. He is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and registered with the Yoga Alliance. Max is known for his philosophical insights and has authored a forthcoming book on Yoga.
