Real World Yoga: Real People with Real Bodies with Jackie Camborde Video

DVD Only - $19.99
It's the first line you hear when you pop Jackie Camborde's Real World Yoga® in your DVD player, and you know it's not going to be just another workout.

Jackie developed the Real World Yoga program because not all people who benefit from yoga are flexible, young and injury-free. In fact, most of the population is battling with at least one of these maladies, if not several. Real World Yoga® is a program that allows first-time yogis to work at a comfortable level – rest and modification of postures is emphasized throughout. On the flip side, experienced yogis can use the challenge modifications to go deeper in postures and add more power to the program.

The workout is a vinyasa-style practice, which means that postures flow from one to the next in the rhythm of the breath. Some poses can be held for several breaths to deepen the posture or to gain flexibility. The program is a great balance of challenge and relaxation, of give and take, and of working at a comfortable level with the ability to go deeper when ready.

Real World Yoga® also features real yoga practitioners with real bodies – not the typical fitness models you see in most exercise programs. Jackie, Kristine and Diane are all mothers (Diane is a grandma too!); women of different ages and backgrounds who come together for the sheer joy of yoga.

Participants will want to listen to Jackie's Story, another DVD menu option, where Jackie shares her journey from unhealthy and unfit to the instructor she is today.

Yoga and fitness instructors should check out the Instructor's Corner choice on the DVD menu. In what is possibly the most unique aspect of this program, Jackie takes one of the vinyasa flows from the workout and breaks it down for instructors (and anyone else wanting to deepen their understanding of yoga). Here, instructors learn how to see alignment and postural issues facing many people and learn how to fix them. They will also get a little toolbox of ideas for ways to cue, both visually and verbally.

A one hour Bone Loading video to help combat osteoporosis by leading exercise expert, Mirabai Holland, M.F.A.

Bones are living tissue and become more dense with exercise. Studies show that tennis players, through repeated practice, will develop thicker, stronger bones in their racquet arm than in their other arm. This process is called bone loading.

This program is a comprehensive bone loading program for the whole body, with special emphasis on the areas at risk for osteoporotic fracture: the spine, thigh bone at the hip, and forearm at the wrist.

Included in this workout: A one-on-one bone loading workout divided into six color coded sections making it easy for beginners to stop and go, or fast forward to any section that needs work; advanced exercisers can do the full body workout end to end; plus two information sections packed with important facts and illustrations about your bones and Osteoporosis.
