Yoga

Ok who wants something challenging and seemingly completely unnecessary in their lives that yet holds infinite power to change and ground you in yourself so that you may branch and grow and become? I guess I do.

May I suggest, Yoga? My personal favorite is (of course) a class with a strong knowledgeable instructor. But as of yet that is unaffordable (at least for me). Next best bet: video. Most of which are yuck. However I have found that quality has been improving over the last5 years. You can now find some decent video yoga if you look.

SO the winner for favorite all time video yoga is. . . Yoga Today! They have a massive library of Yoga Videos that are very well done. It is challenging however and I will admit I do not do all of the poses in all of the videos. I often will go to the nearest calming move such as a forward bend or child's pose when I am feeling the need to recenter during the practice.

If you sign up with them (it's free) they give you one free streaming vid to practice with each week! I have yet to be dissapointed. I haven't gotten any irritating emails to junk or anything, of course I am always careful what box I mark when I sign up for anything.

On a Cartwheel scale of one to 10 I give it 9 Super Fast in-a-row cartwheels.

Runners up are:
Oxygens's Inhale with Steve Ross- he is fun and has groovy music 6 Cartwheels
Power Yoga for Every Body- Barbara Benagh et al- very well done and has over 20 workouts! 7 cartwheels

Well that's all folks Cartwheel on yoga style.
