Hello everyone, I want to try Yoga for the first time. I’m seriously out of shape, having lots of muscle aches and I’m suffering from severe depression. I’ve hear the many great benefits from Yoga; I don’t know where to start. What beginners DVD would you recommend for me?

Well, if you want to learn yoga from an expert then Yoga Toes is the place for you. The expert in question is Amanda Giacomini who has more than a decade’s experience with yoga and is a qualified teacher. Along with her husband, Giacomini has formed Yoga Toes with the aim of conducting workshops and providing training to students interested in yoga.

Any good albums you listen to at home to do pilates, meditate and do yoga? I haven’t do this for my research for my novel, since I’m not flexible to do yoga and pilates. But any preferences of any music to do it to, from pilates and yoga instructors, and any one who takes the classes? I’ve listed Michael Bublé in my novel. Would he be good too?

YOGA is a science. Like all other sciences it is based on observation and experiment. This method of observation and experiment is regarded in the west as a distinctly modern innovation, but as a matter of fact it was adopted in India in very ancient times by the “RISHIS”, or seers of truth.

The truths thus gained through their own experiences and investigation, they wrote down in Upanishads, preached in public and expounded to their pupils.
