Yoga DVD -- The Flow Series
4-Pack
I chose Total Yoga – The Flow Series Complete Set: Original, Earth, Water, and Fire, after previewing a variety of yoga DVDs available at my local library. This set was by far the best, a great collection of practices for any level taught by Tracey Rich and Ganga White of the White Lotus Foundation. The production quality is high and the music and the instructor's voice non-obtrusive. Many poses are demonstrated on two levels, easier and harder. Each program covers breathing, warm-up exercises, and a series of poses and flows. Each disc has a 15-minute bonus segment from another program in the series.
The four consist of:
- The Original – an introduction to the many benefits of yoga – ujjayi breathing, warm-up exercises, followed by standing, seated and inverted poses. 55 minutes plus 15-minute workout excerpted from the Fire DVD.
- Earth – The first session in the Flow Series, a 40-minute intro to 15 basic poses drawing on the foundation of Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Earth is a gentle, restorative, and recharging workout.
- Water – slightly longer, intermediate workout with 20 individual poses. The Water practice reduces stress while developing flexibility, strength, and stamina.
- Fire – the most advanced session in the series, 60-minute vigorous workout with 30 different poses.
Lulu crew-neck tee
Last night I saw a friend on the ferry I haven't seen in a while so we shared a glass of wine and caught up on things on the ride home. I noticed she still carried her miscellaneous stuff in one of those eco-friendly Lululemon shopping bags. "Still addicted to the clothing?" I casually inquired. Since her husband was sitting within earshot she hushed her voice and murmured, "at any given time there's a 30% I'm wearing something from Lululemon." She then rearranged her sweater to reveal her favorite Lulu crew neck tee.
Okay, so that may not be so surprising - but here's the part worth noting: she bought the tee nearly THREE years ago. And it still looks BRAND NEW.
Even her husband was impressed. Me? I know where I'm headed today....
Lulu Tights
You may already know that Lululemon branded clothing is great for active people. Here are a few reasons why I love Lululemon:
It's great for aerial dance, especially working on rope.
When rehearsing for my latest aerial dance piece at Versatile Arts, a ninja on rope, I found that the only apparel that could withstand the course rope was my Lululemon tights. I must admit, when buying my first pair of Lululemon tights, I wondered if they were worth the price as they are a bit more expensive than your average dance tight. I now know that Lululemon apparel is worth every penny. The amount of money I spent on one pair of Lululemons is less than what I would have invested in multiple pairs of tights when rehearsing on rope.

Lululemon apparel always looks great, on everyone.
Whether your out and about on the weekend, or wearing Lululemon during your workout training, Lululemon makes everyone look great. I wear my Lululemon apparel during workout sessions with my personal trainer, Dawn Brent (The Exercise Space), then to the grocery store, and pretty much all weekend long. Lululemon clothing is versatile, so you can pretty much wear it anywhere.
