Gentle Yoga Kit offers the perfect contrast to the sweat till you nearly drop yoga thing. Stephen cope, a renowned Kripalu yoga master who teaches at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health–the largest residential yoga center in America–has assembled the basics to teach would-be yogis from beginning to more advanced poses.

Stop what you’re doing, strike a pose, breathe in and out, and pay attention to the feelings evoked. By doing this, we notice “how it really is in our bodies. How it really is in our minds. Suddenly, we’re present. Just here. Just now. With nothing to do and nowhere to go.”

Familiarize yourself with each pose and breathing method, then start with the gentle rocking warm-up and move into downward-facing dog. Try the corpse pose for even deeper relaxation. With two CDs, a book, and flashcards, Gentle Yoga Kit is the perfect yoga retreat in a box. It’s convenient, on-the-go format means it can be used in a variety of ways. Try it at home or take it along with you when you travel. It will give you the flexibility to retian peace of mind whenever and wherever you need it most.
