The magic of the Ashtanga Yoga system comes from its perfect balance between the two opposing forces of strength and flexibility. In this DVD, certified Ashtanga Teacher Kino MacGregor guides you through the foundational elements of the challenging Third Series. Known in Sanskrit as Sthira Bhaga, translated as Strength and Grace, this series involves some of the hardest and most intense movements possible. The journey of the Third Series is not one to be taken lightly, but is a devotional relationship built over many years of practice. The deepest type of strength is a spiritual fortitude that comes from a true understanding of the subtle currents of energy in the body and the eternal nature of the human soul. This DVD provides three useful tools for everyone. The Introduction explains the philosophical basis of the Third Series as well as Ashtanga Yoga. The How to Work segment gives helpful tools on the development of core strength, the elusive "bandhas" and many key postures of the Third Series. The Practice disc is a flow through the postures of Third Series in traditional Vinyasa Sanskrit count. It is not recommended that you practice along with the DVD but instead use it as inspiration. When embarking on the yogic quest it is crucial to have a teacher as your guide. -

The Yoga of the Yogi is a tribute to one of the greatest yogis of the modern era: Tirumalai Krishnamacharya, known as a "master of masters." In the early twentieth century, when India's traditional teachings were in danger of being lost, Krishnamacharya revived the ancient practice of yoga for the modern world. He was a yogi par excellence, a dedicated healer, a ferocious debater, a master of Indian philosophy, and a talented poet and author. As a teacher, he was unsurpassed. The names of his most famous students -- Indra Devi, Pattabhi Jois, BKS Iyengar, and TKV Desikachar -- are today known all over the world. Yet the full promise of Krishnamacharya's legacy, unfamiliar to many in the West, is still waiting to be explored. In The Yoga of the Yogi, Krishnamcharya's grandson, Kausthub Desikachar, provides unique insight int the life of Krishnamacharya. He shows us that yoga, As Krishnamacharya approached it, is much more than asana, or physical postures, and in fact offers a wide range of tolls for healing the entire human system in a compassionate and holistic way He explores Krishnamacharya's emphatic belief that there is no "one size fits all" yoga, and how practices and and must be adapted to serve the changing needs of each individual student. And he included photographs and archival materials, many from the personal collections of Krishnamcharya's family. For anyone interested in the heart of yoga, this book will become an invaluable resource. -

The role of women in creating and sustaining balanced, healthy lives for themselves and their families has never been more crucial, and this compelling book will help them fulfill their potential, despite the numerous demands placed on them.

Ayurveda for Women explores in detail the landmark changes associated with the three stages of life -- childhood, adulthood, and old age -- and provides practical advice on exercise, sleep, diet, beauty care, meditation and massage, sex and relationships, childcare, menopause, and other issues central to women's lives today. Simple to enact and profound in effect, Ayurveda could be the answer many women are looking for.
