Editorial Reviews

Actress Ali MacGraw has practiced yoga seriously for years, and her body -- straight, graceful, and limber -- shows it. In this stunning video, MacGraw appears with other advanced students as the key demonstrator for yoga master Erich Schiffmann. Filmed at sunrise in the White Sands desert, Ali MacGraw: Yoga, Mind & Body uses multiple cameras to capture the yoga postures from various angles, with plenty of gorgeous shots of body curves, indigo skies, flaring sun, and wind-ridged, snowy dunes. While it takes a lot of practice to attain the full extensions and postures demonstrated by MacGraw, this video covers many beginning postures, routines, and breathing techniques. Schiffmann's voice-over instructions -- backed by Lucia Hwong's invigorating rhythms -- are clear and inviting. The visual splendor of Ali MacGraw: Yoga, Mind & Body will entice even the most reluctant viewer to practice this demanding but infinitely rewarding discipline.
