Partner Yoga Book: Yoga for Partners

I love the idea of going to a Partner Yoga Workshop with my hubby, but he shudders at the idea. He does like to do yoga, but isn't really into going to classes. Why? He doesn't like that instructors tell you what to do, and you don't really have the freedom to do what your body feels like doing. I see his point, so we compromise and do yoga together at home. When you have no instructor Read more

Put away the Zumba and floor-shaking DVDs, and opt for these three cardio workouts instead; you can do each workout indoors without disturbing a soul — your downstairs neighbors will thank Read more

Itsy Bitsy Yoga

As a new mom, I took "Mommy and Me" yoga classes where my immobile babe sat in her carrier staring up at me as I switched from tree pose to downward dog. But just yesterday, she slipped into her own triangle pose with ease. I do believe it was her way of asking me to introduce her to the benefits of yoga. To help me do that, I will reference Itsy Bitsy Yoga ($17). The paperback book illustrates Read more
