Kundalini with Gurmukh

My new favorite style of yoga is Kundalini. I am a huge fan! Apparently this is the original style of yoga, also. The GAIAM instructor on this video I picked up from Madison Public Library is "Gurmukh" - and she is SO awesome! So full of peace, positive energy, and light. She is inspiring throughout the hour-long session - using a lot of encouraging words to keep us going. Kundalini yoga is neat because it is a little more physical, involving extensive aerobic movements, so it feels like your blood is really pumping, and then closes with a meditation. It is challenging, and you really feel as though you've gotten a succinct workout. Plus, her voice is so soothing, so calming, so wonderful. I really love this video. It helps that the back of the DVD features a quote by David Duchovny, star of X-Files and Californication, and celebrity crush of mine:  "Gurmukh is my first yoga teacher. Her gentleness, discipline and sense of fun were instrumental in my practice of yoga. She's part guru, part mom ... one-of-a-kind." Well put, Mr. Duchovny, I couldn't agree more. Gurmukh takes a challenging style of yoga, and gently encourages the viewer throughout - and she is so serene, so beautiful, so confident and inspiring. I am sad to see this DVD go...I just may have to move up from the ranks of renting :).
