Barbara was kind enough to answer some questions from .com about
this unique line of yoga DVDs.
How are these DVDs different from other yoga DVDs?
I was drawn to working with Bodywisdommedia because they produce
DVDs they are interactive. Rather than a "one size fits all"
single routine that is typical of most products, these DVDs offer
choice, allowing the user to customize and change their yoga
practice to suit their needs. No two persons are the same so the
ability to change your practice - easing shoulder tension one day
and an invigorating morning wake up the next - come as close as
possible to allowing you to address your individual needs at
home. Not only do people have different physical needs, but they
have different time constraints as well. If you have only 20
minutes, there is a practice for you but there are longer
practices as well (some as long as 90 minutes) that address the
total body/mind connection. The sheer number of yoga sequences
offered on each of these DVDs is a first. They are incredibly
comprehensive.
How were you able to get the Dalai Lama involved?
This project dovetailed perfectly with the Dalai Lama's message
that modern stress is one of the greatest obstacles to our mental
happiness and physical wellbeing. Because we are long-time
sincere practitioners, having a 30-minute lecture of the Dalai
Lama teaching how to meditate on the Yoga for Stress DVD
was a perfect fit. Bodywisdommedia also has a broader
relationship with the Office of Tibet and are releasing historic
lectures with "A Path to Happiness" ( /dp/B000HRMAQI ) being the
first one.
How will potential buyers of these DVDs know which one is right
for them?
The titles are very indicative of what appears on the DVD and
therefore a good guide. I really enjoyed making Yoga for Stress
because it is incredibly relevant. We strove to make the
sequences accessible to as many people as possible, whether they
are a beginner or long time practitioner. Yoga for Beginners is a
great, non-threatening place to get started and includes lots of
sound technique developed over my 30 years as a yoga teacher.
Power Yoga for Every Body is a bit more challenging taking you
from the beginning level and gradually progressing to much more
demanding routines.
