Here's the good news: you don't have to be able to wrap your right leg around your left arm and simultaneously sit on your face to experience yoga. With Kathy Smith New Yoga Basics: Beginners, new to DVD, viewers will discover a gentle way to increase flexibility, and help restore balance in the mind as well as the body. Fitness expert Smith takes beginners step-by-step through the basics, laying the foundations for correct breathing and accurate alignment. Divided into three segments--floor poses, standing poses, and a guided relaxation session--this nicely produced, well-paced program will make a solid addition to any library's consumer health collection. Two other Kathy Smith yoga DVDs are also available at the same price--Kathy Smith New Yoga: Intermediate and Kathy Smith: New Yoga Challenge: Advanced--or as a three-pack DVD for $34.98 (VHS: $24.98).
