Disadvantages: Not very good as a cardio routine

loosen up your leg muscles. The DVD then moves onto punching. You are shown several types of punching techniques which you follow along to.

Yoga was Developed in India, it is a psycho-physical discipline with roots going back to more than 5,000 years...The word "Yoga" means union. Yoga has four paths according to the Shastras or the Knowledge books...JNANA (knowledge or wisdom), Bhakti ( Devotion) Karma ( Action) , and Raja ( Self control)... ABOUT THE DVD If one is interested and serious about taking up Yoga then this is the right DVD to get one started..The video demonstrates the basic postures or asanas clearly and gives tips on getting them right.... This DVD is perfect for Beginners and especially for those over 40, as many of the other 'ASANAS or Postures, mentioned in most other DVDs are meant for younger and fitter people...whereas the Aasanas shown here are easy to follow for anyone regardless of age... The instructions by the Yoga Master is very helpful ...
