Acacia announces the April 15, 2008 DVD release of Shiva Rea: Flow Yoga for Beginners, a superb introduction to flow yoga from a renowned and innovative teacher.

Flow yoga, also called vinyasa yoga, combines flowing movement with rhythmic breathing for a dynamic mind-body workout. Like a moving meditation, flow yoga unites mind, body, and breath. Your mind clears, your body calms, even as your pulse quickens.

Hailed by Vanity Fair as “one of the world’s greatest yoga masters,” international yoga sensation Shiva Rea leads this introductory practice, filmed amid breathtaking scenery on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. She begins with a seated meditation that teaches you how to link breath with movement. Three more segments introduce her flowing approach to classic poses. Transitions from pose to pose are graceful and easy. You may not have Shiva’s flexibility (yet), but you can follow her lead in ways that work for you. Feel yourself becoming stronger and more supple. Sense your new energy and find the fluidity that has always been yours.

Shiva is the creator of several top-selling videos including Prenatal Yoga, Yoga Shakti, Yoga Trance Dance, Creative Core Abs, Fluid Power—Vinyasa Flow Yoga, and Radiant Heart 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 was the catalyst for 2007’s Global Mala Project, a worldwide yoga event.

Starting in April 2008, Flow Yoga for Beginners is available exclusively at Amazon.com and at all retailers on November 11, 2008.
