Element: Yoga for Beginners

Element: Yoga for Beginners Review

I love this video almost more than actual yoga classes. The one drawback is that there is no one to check your form and that some of the moves are a bit hard at first if you are a beginner or semi beginner. Overall though, I feel great after doing this and the hour goes by in no time. Flexibility and calm are the awesome results of this video.

The instructor, Elena, was kind enough to answer some questions from Amazon.com about the Element line of DVDs.

You have an impressive list of celebrity clients--Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts and Rebecca Romijn among others. What do you try to bring to a yoga practice that draws in people who literally have access to the best teachers in the country?

Each of my clients receives what I've learned from my teachers; attention, precision and authenticity. Celebrity or not, I always offer my complete focus in order to understandably articulate what each student needs, speaking to their bodies, their minds and their hearts. Ultimately, the alignment cues I offer are not just for the physical pose, they're intended to help my clients to observe and refine their inner connections, enhancing every experience.

What are the biggest benefits your students reap from yoga?

Consistency and healing. My teachers have taught me to attentively offer meticulous alignment instruction so students may have a direct experience of healing. When you're consistently aligned physically, your breathing deepens, your mind and heart begin to work in clear harmony with one another, and invariably your body heals in a subtle way. This healing, whether physical or emotional, is reflected in every one of your interactions and relationships.
