SILVER SPRING, MD; October 2, 2007 —Acacia announces the January 1, 2008 DVD release of Bollywood Burn with Hemalayaa offering a new, more challenging Bollywood-inspired workout from the creator of the fun, bestselling DVDs The Bollywood Dance Workout and Dance of the Kama Sutra.

Spice up your workout and boogie to the bhangra beat. Inspired by the sassy, sexy moves seen in hit Indian films, this isn’t the same old boring exercise routine. It’s playful, seductive, and leaves you feeling high on life.

In three 15-minute programs set to a hip bhangra soundtrack, fitness star and yogini Hemalayaa gradually revs up the pace, providing a challenging workout for the already fit and a goal for newcomers to work toward. The first gets you in the groove, the second ups the cardio to optimum fat-burning range, and the third has you shimmying and bopping like a Bollywood film beauty. As you dance, you’ll lose weight; tone your core, hips, and thighs; and kiss stress good-bye. So liven up, let loose, and laugh like Hemalayaa does. The three segments can be done individually or combined for a more vigorous workout.

DVD Special Features: Audio options (instruction and music or music only) and a bonus freestyle dance.

Hemalayaa teaches yoga and Indian dance in Los Angeles and offers frequent workshops and retreats around the world. The daughter of Indian parents, Hema’s yoga training began at home at an early age, and she went on to study yoga, philosophy, and meditation as well as asana. Hema’s in-depth study and practice of classical Indian dance informs how she teaches yoga. A life devoted to yoga and dance animates Hemalayaa’s playful spirit. Many of her retreats and workshops culminate in a night of dance. Hema loves turning her students on to the vibrant styles of Indian dance, from the classical to the latest moves from Bollywood, bhangra, and Indian MTV.
