SILVER SPRING, MD; August 29, 2007 —Acacia announces the November 13, 2007 DVD release of Shiva Rea: Radiant Heart Yoga, a unique new addition to Shiva Rea’s best-selling and critically acclaimed yoga series. The calming, energizing, life-transforming workout offers a great introduction to Shiva for all experience levels.

Hailed recently by Vanity Fair as “one of the world’s greatest yoga masters,” international yoga sensation Shiva Rea offers a gentle, inspiring program. She encourages practitioners to harness the power of yoga as both an inward and an outward journey by connecting to the heart’s capacity for love and healing.

The 35-minute workout offers three ways to experience yoga’s rejuvenating heart-centered focus. Shiva’s Prayer Wheel practice generates love and compassion. Hridaya Namaskar (Heart Salutation) leads to deep relaxation and inner peace. The Energizing Heart Movement Meditation releases stagnant energy and creates natural joy and vitality. People can start or end their day with one practice—or combine all three—and see how being more centered within their heart will have a profound effect on their body and their life.

Rea is the creator of several top-selling videos including Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Shakti, Yoga Trance Dance, Creative Core Abs, and Fluid Power—Vinyasa Flow Yoga. Shiva’s award-winning DVDs have been heralded by Health, Shape, and Self magazines in yearly "best of," DVD of the month, and "DVDs We Love" lists. She is also the headliner at major yoga conferences, teaches workshops all over the world, and is the catalyst for the Global Mala Project, a worldwide yoga event. Coming up soon she is teaching at these Acacia-sponsored conferences: Omega Institute's Being Yoga (November 2-5, Ft. Lauderdale) and Yoga Journal (January 18-21, San Francisco).

The bonus segments offer a sample of two previous Shiva releases: Twisting Kriya (7 min.) from Yoga Trance Dance and Jala Namaskar (8 min.) from Fluid Power.
