This latest exercise program in the long-running Element series follows certified yoga instructor Mia Togo, who presents morning and evening practices. Set against a beach backdrop, Daily Yoga features Togo performing moves silently with overlaid narration. Preaching awareness, “Morning” focuses on “victorious breath” and turning in towards your “deep well of wisdom” for moves that include cat-cow pose, downward/upward facing dog, three-legged dog, forward fold, crescent moon, sun salutations, backbends, hip stretch, and resting pigeon. “Evening,” which is less about strength and energy-building than overall relaxation and the release of tension built up throughout the day, includes side stretches, as well as crescent, mountain, and locust poses. Best suited for intermediate-level yoga practitioners, this is recommended. [Note: Element: 5 Day Yoga is also newly available.] Aud: P. (J. Williams-Wood)
