Two new yoga DVDs featuring Gurmukh

There are reasons why Kundalini yoga is great for pregnant women, including the fact that the focus of the centuries-old practice is on the endocrine (hormone-producing) and spinal systems. There are also reasons why for the last 30 years, the women of Los Angeles, including many Hollywood leading ladies, have sought out the prenatal and postnatal Kundalini classes taught by Gurmukh.

A “star attraction” at Golden Bridge yoga studio in Hollywood, Gurmukh is also a contributing editor to Yoga Journal. And now, recorded versions of her teachings are being made available to pregnant women everywhere. In her DVD, Prenatal with Gurmukh: Kundalini Yoga and Meditation for Mothers to Be, she presents an easy-to-follow series of asanas, poses and meditations. In her DVD, Postnatal with Gurmukh: Kundalini Yoga for New Mothers, she helps regulate the strong emotions tied to post-partum depression (caused by the rapidly falling estrogen levels after childbirth). The DVDs run 67 and 54 minutes, respectively, and retail at $19.95. Visit yogamates.com/catalog

A Thousand Names for Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are
by Byron Katie

Byron Katie has a large, devoted following around the world, based on a simple and profound method of self-inquiry known as “The Work.” A favorite in spiritual circles, Katie has a homespun ability to make Advaita philosophy a la Ramana Maharshi (Who Am I?) and Nisargadatta Maharaj (I Am That) accessible.

Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life was her brilliant best-selling first book, and I Need Your Love — Is That True? was her second. This third book, A Thousand Names for Joy, co-written with her husband, the distinguished writer and translator Stephen Mitchell, takes a fresh look at Lao-tzu’s classic, Tao Te Ching.

Katie and Mitchell — whose translation of the Tao Te Ching has sold over 750,000 copies — examine everyday experiences (baby sitting, doctor visits) to help make the classic Confucius-era Chinese text accessible. Expect to have cherished beliefs — perhaps the ones that are blocking happiness — challenged in a unique, honest way. And expect radically different perspectives on life and death, good and evil.
