Review of: Hala Khouri's Yoga dvd

Yoga For Stress Reduction.  This is such a well done yoga dvd. She has a wonderful, soothing voice and a background in somatic counseling. Her dvd is divided into sections you can practice alone or you can do a few sections or the entire practice.

I love the warm-ups section. It’s 17 minutes, and if you are short on time or energy or nursing an injury or mild cold, this is a wonderful way to connect with yourself and get an effective stretch. Her words guide you to feel “resourced” in your breath, your long spine & your connection with the solid ground beneath you.

If you hold muscle tension, feel anxious or ungrounded sometimes… this is a life-changing dvd. Once you learn to find ease in your body, you will feel transformed and stress will melt off of you!
