Trudie Styler's Warrior Yoga DVD : Yoga, Meditation, and Sting
 |
I have to tell you that the reason I was interested in trying Trudie Styler's Warrior Yoga DVD (part of a workout video series including pilates and cardio dance) is because I love her husband. His music, that is.
I liked the idea of having his album Songs from the Labyrinth as the background for my yoga practice.
However, once I tried the yoga series--there's one 45-minute practice, and one "express" 25-minute one--I realized there was more to this DVD than just the music. While most yoga videos lead the viewer through fairly traditional sun salutations, Styler and fitness instructor James D'Silva move through a creative series of asanas, or poses, keeping me (figuratively, at least) on my toes.
Styler and D'Silva each lead a meditation segment; I started out the meditations wishing I, too, was sitting cross-legged in the midst of a field of lavender in Tuscany, as they were, but by the end of the session I opened my eyes to a renewed sense of calm.
For those who want to know more about the couple's life in Tuscany--and, of course, to get their Sting fix--the DVD contains additional segments about Il Palagio, their eco-friendly estate, and about the making of another Sting album, If on a Winter's Night.
Bottom Line: So I came to yoga because I like a rock star....I still got here, and happy to find out that Trudie's worth watching, too!!--C.W. (Feb 10)
