"The Power of Hatha Yoga" Inspired by the book Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, Naader Shagagi took up the study of yoga 15 years ago. In this video, he presents more than 35 hatha-yoga postures which, if practiced in a series, will work every part of the body. He begins with breathing and moves into variation of sun salutation. Other postures include the half moon, triangle, warrior, corpse, and awkward poses. Along with instruction, Shagagi also works in the philosophy and ultimate purpose of yoga. Hatha yoga develops the will as well as the mind and "prepares one to be a vessel of God," says Shagagi. Shagagi's instructions are clear. This is a tape for the the intermediate yoga student who has the flexibility to perform many of the postures but who may be looking for exposure to hatha yoga. Production quality is good, as are Shagagi's voice and personal style. This video would shine in a sidelines display on either yoga or fitness. - NEW AGE RETAILER
