This
is one of the best audio presentations to come along in a while.
McRae understands and makes clear the importance of proper alignment,
the relationship between the physical and mental aspects of the
postures, the many benefits of the postures, and the immediate and
ultimate meaning of the practice in the context of daily life Highly
recommended for all levels of students.

This revolutionary
yoga product is the first ever to utilize CD technology to create
multiple customized yoga practices. The postures can be re-sequenced,
repeated or skipped according to the practitioner's needs and preferences
to create 100's of different yoga experiences. The CD comes with
a 16 page booklet that includes sequencing guidelines, suggested
sequences, and clear, detailed explanations of the pranayamas.
The postures on the
CD are accessible to beginners as well as challenging to those who
have been practicing for years. The 17 postures include 3 inversions
and 2 twists in addition to standing postures, back bends and forward
bends. Both the physiological benefits and body/mind components
of each posture are incorporated into the instruction. Includes
a relaxation to an exquisite original musical piece from Mark Kelso's
For God Alone.
It
was a tremendous relief to listen to this perfectly produced little
gem, packed full of clear, concise, practical, and inspiring information!

Sadhana:The
Daily Practice of Yoga, Volume 2listen
to track 1 Editor's Choice!!! Yoga Journal
When I reviewed
the first volume in this practice series about two years ago, I
thought it was terrific; this one is too. It's a pleasure
to practice with someone who is in complete command of his material,
who teaches from both the head and the heart.
Like the earlier volume,
this program is highly recommended for all levels of students.
Capturing the spirit of yoga, Sadhana:
The Daily Practice of Yoga, Volume 2 offers a technically solid
hatha yoga practice grounded in the heart-opening tradition of Kripalu
yoga. This new CD follows the same presentation style used on the
best-selling Volume 1. Instruction is clear and precise, easy-to-follow,
providing details of alignment and inspiration for the postures.
The emphasis is on self-acceptance and the inner experience of the
practice rather than on achieving perfect form.
The compact disc includes instruction in
the Ujayii Pranayma along with cues for using the powerful Dhristi
(eye focus) and Mulabandha (root lock) techniques. The core practice
of twenty-two postures is a carefully designed sequence of three
backbends, four forward bends, one side bend, four spinal rotations,
two inversions, and two balancing postures. One track features a
flowing vinyasa of standing warrior postures that can be repeated
to generate a "power yoga" experience. The overall result
is an energizing, balanced, solid daily practice that is accessible
to beginners as well as challenging for more advanced students.
The CD is fully programmable, allowing for
the design of multiple customized sequences. The 12-page booklet
includes suggested practice sequences and detailed instruction in
breathing techniques. Volume 2 is easily programmed in conjunction
with Volume 1 or stands as a complete practice by itself. This perfectly
produced CD can be used every day to create a fun, well-rounded,
"feel good" experience.
Sadhana:The

meditation techniques, Vipassana and Japa, this compact disc offers
a complete introduction to the practice of meditation. Very accessible

meditation. The CD also features simple sitting instructions, guided
meditation experiences and easily programmable sequences offering
practices in lengths from 12 to 48 minutes. All instruction is delivered
in McRae's entertaining, easy to understand style.
This CD gently leads the user
to discover what meditation is, why to do it,
and how to do it!
