Theatrical Release Information:
Kathy Smith: New Yoga

Kathy Smith enters the new age market with this simplified version of an ancient art form. New Yoga offers step-by-step instruction on basic poses and movements. With the help of Rod Stryker, Smith breaks down asanas with clearly understood instructions. She begins with sun salutations -- full body motions that most people associate with yoga -- then moves to the floor for a series of sitting and lying asanas. While Smith does offer some explanation on the importance of breathing and proper alignment, she avoids the more complicated spiritual interpretations. Further into the video, Smith demonstrates a more difficult routine that might take the beginner a while to figure out. She also offers simplified versions of the advanced steps. Smith, as star of a great many exercise videos, offers a well-rounded yoga workout intended to challenge and inspire. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
