Element: Yoga For Energy And Relaxation

Two goal-targeted programs filmed in a lush outdoor setting. Tamal's voiceover cuing is soothing, detailed and very easy to understand (you won't even need to watch the TV to follow along). The Energy practice is exceptionally varied. It includes sun salutations, inversion positions, twisting moves and lots of rhythmic breathing (e.g. "breath of fire," "belly breathing").

The Relaxation series is less intense. It combines opening-focused yoga poses with static stretches and slower, more meditative, breathing. That practice ends with five minutes of deep relaxation. Both programs are filmed outdoors in a quiet garden overlooking the Pacific ocean.

Filmed in a beautiful garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these two yoga sessions are designed to give you a perfect balance of vitality and calm.

The Relaxation program melts away tension in your muscles and your mind with a combination of soothing restorative asanas, deep relaxation techniques, flexibility enhancing postures and poses known to calm the natural flight or fight mechanism in the body. This peaceful sequence will help you gain flexibility, improve sleep and dissolve away stress leaving you with an overall feeling of wellness and contentment.
