Student Bodies

Whether you're a beginning, intermediate, or advanced student of yoga, and whether you have 15 minutes or two hours for your yoga practice, you'll find a power yoga routine that fits your level and your schedule in Power Yoga for Every Body. Instructor Barbara Benagh instructs by voice-over while Jason Gordon demonstrates 24 routines of the "Slow Flow" method of vinyasa yoga: one pose flowing into the next. Benagh instructs this slow practice with careful attention to the details of breathing, movement, alignment, and transition. "Yoga is so much more than a workout--it cultivates your mind, it calms your nerves, it develops an internal awareness," says Benagh. To start out, watch the 15-minute interview with Benagh explaining the benefits of yoga, the Slow Flow technique, how to progress, and tips for incorporating yoga into a busy life. --Joan Price
