Hi,
I recently got myself got stressed about money and stuff and I went back to Yoga. I have a kundalini yoga DVD by Maya Fiennes, 'Detox and De-Stress' which is so gently and beautifully meditative, she includes music and most of the postures are sitting, so it is ideal for a morning yoga practice when one is not 'wide awake'. It brings me into the day in such a spiritual way that I definitely recommend it. It is gentle enough for beginners and begins with a mantra and ends with a mantra, I do half of it in the week, and the whole hour at the w/end - the latter half is more strenuous.
She has an intro on there from Deepak Chopra who obviously respects her and enjoys being in her presence. If you are looking for getting into yoga you need a good teacher, a class would be ideal, but if not, I can recommend this, even for beginners, I have practiced yoga on and off, for 20 years, I went to class 4/5 times a week for years (if you are unsure of my experience in this matter). With yoga, it is all about the breath which puts one into a mediative state, therefore, remember, breathe in 'Let' breathe out 'go'. You should be breathing in and out on each posture to get the full benefit, breathe in deeply and then let go gently as you go into the posture, on the Maya Fiennes DVD she is very clear about this, so it is easy to follow. I would not normally be so firm about advertising a particular DVD but this one is so spiritually fulfilling I want to share it with everyone on here!
Enjoy!
