Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1997

This revolutionary yoga product is the first ever to utilize CD technology to create multiple customized yoga practices. The postures can be re-sequenced, repeated or skipped according to the practitioner's needs and preferences to create 100's of different yoga experiences. The CD comes with a 16 page booklet that includes sequencing guidelines, suggested sequences, and clear, detailed explanations of the pranayamas.

The postures on the CD are accessible to beginners as well as challenging to those who have been practicing for years. The 17 postures include 3 inversions and 2 twists in addition to standing postures, back bends and forward bends. Both the physiological benefits and body/mind components of each posture are incorporated into the instruction. Includes a relaxation to an original musical piece from Mark Kelso's For God Alone.

Editorial Reviews

Review

...it was a tremendous relief to listen to this perfectly produced little gem, packed full of clear, concise, practical, and inspiring material! -- Paula Russell, The NAPRA ReView, Spring 1998

His instructions are meticulously precise as he guides the practitioner through pranayama, warm-ups, asanas, locks, eye focus, and deep relaxation. -- Dan Kaufman, Yoga Community Newsletter, February 1998

This is one of the best audio presentations to come along in a while. McRae understands and makes clear the importance of proper alignment, the relationship between the physical and mental aspects of the postures, the many benefits of the postures, and the immediate and ultimate meaning of the practice in the context of daily life...Highly recommended for all levels of students. -- Richard Rosen, Yoga Journal, May/June 1998

This review is from: Sadhana: The Daily Practice of Yoga, Volume 1 (Audio CD)

My students and I are enjoying this innovative way to practice yoga at home. Programming one's own practice session helps us use our own creativity and maintain an element of newness each time we practice. More fun and effective than following the same old cassette or video!
