Yoga exists on the other side of the known universe from television. That’s my opinionated opinion.
Or was. Yesterday’s mail changed that. I received my first three yoga DVDs, the ones I ordered after my introduction to Kundalini yoga. There are no Kundalini classes in my town, so I did what anyone would do: I went to Amazon, read four billion reviews, and ordered a few DVDs.
My practice has been in classes, mostly Ashtanga or Hatha, or on my own in my living room. What a departure to head to my lovely man’s yoga room in the basement this morning and pop my Kundalini teacher into the DVD player! Music! Encouragement! New moves! New teachers! New approach to yoga!
I loved it.
Will it replace classes for me? Not a chance. I’ve just recently been inspired once more to go back to classes.
Will it replace silent solo practice? I don’t think so. Silence is good. So is calling my own asanas.
I do foresee an immediate binge, though, of DVD Kundalini classes in the basement. (As binges go, one could do much worse.)
I’m curious. Do you do yoga by DVD? Do you have favourite DVDs? I’d love to hear.
Thanks to the yoga DVD industry for taking good excellent care of so many people at home. Thanks to the Raviana Kundalini videos in my basement (they are a blast) and thanks to you for the conversation,
