A 1938 yoga instruction video was the first of its kind. If yoga is a worldwide cultural phenomenon today, it is thanks to one man -- the grandmaster of yoga, BKS Iyengar. From a previously complex discipline only passed down from master to student, Iyengar -- or Guru ji, as he is respectfully called -- took yoga to the masses.

Pilates Body Ring Kit Review

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:01:03 GMT

I bought a beginner workout mat online from Gaiam, but wanted to get some variations by using something else. I bought the pilates video from Amazon and really loved the added resistance that the body ring provided. When you have to put pressure on the body ring, the 100 is much harder and it is even harder to tell what is meant by 'slightly bend your knees.' The word, "slightly, " should be defined.
