"Naader Shagagi is an inspirational teacher, and his sequence of poses will leave you feeling energized, strengthened, and uplifted. After having practiced yoga for 16 years and tried many classes and DVDs, I found Naader's sequence to be the most complete I had ever encountered. I can't recommend this DVD highly enough. When you come to the end of the practice and lie in relaxation pose, you will have worked every muscle and opened up the body in profound and satisfying ways. What sets Naader's DVD apart from most others is his ability to convey both the deep physical aspects of yoga and the powerful spiritual dimension of a sincere practice. So many instructional tapes and DVDs overlook or ignore the spiritual side of yoga. With Naader's DVD you will get to experience the fullness of yoga. His wisdom and spirituality will improve the quality of your practice and your life."

"I had lost my routine and relationship to yoga for a few years. Thanks to my good friend Lisa's gift of The Power of Hatha Yoga-Beginner Series my enthusiasm and desire has been renewed. Naader Shagagai unites many important aspects of yoga;easy to follow visuals of the postures with attention to the small details,consistent reminders of the importance of breath,subtle positive and non dimentional spirtual reinforcements.
In a nut shell, he has helped to repair a mind body link and open a path toward body and spirit. I am always left at the end of the DVD , happy and nurished. Imaginge what a class in person could do?"

Yoga As It is Taught in Class!!

"This is a great video that comes almost directly from the classes at YKS. I studied there for quite some time and found that my practice was maintained, even deepened, by the videos in my absence from the actual studio. I found the video instruction to be both helpful and unobtrusive. I thought Naader's approach to the poses to be smooth and natural. If you need assitance beyond the verbal aid, you need only glance at the image on your TV and you'll be able to find your pose immediately. I really liked that about the video. I also liked the flow.

Some yoga tapes are very stiff and expect you to hold the pose THEY are doing on the screen. However Naader talks his way into each pose and offers the student a number of different options for each pose--just like he does in the classroom. Also, there weren't excessive musical interludes, noise or visual distractions, which makes for a very nice experience.

I personally would recommend this tape to anyone that really wants to practice yoga seriously-- beginner or otherwise. It's a great supplement (say if you are out of town or can't make it to regularly scheduled classes) or as a stand-alone class (if you want to only practice in the privacy of your home)."
