SILVER SPRING, MD; June 3, 2008 —Acacia announces the August 26, 2008 DVD release of Yoga for Beginners with Desi Bartlett, two beautiful, basic programs that will leave you feeling revitalized, strong, and healthy. Desi Bartlett, a rising star in the bilingual fitness world, leads two complementary segments: an active yet simple yoga flow for complete body toning and a slower, deeper practice to build long, lean muscles. The practices are appropriate for beginners, or anyone who wants an effective, basic yoga workout. The DVD includes optional Spanish and Spanglish audio tracks.

Yoga is one of the best ways to tone and build long, lean muscles while energizing and restoring the body and mind. By incorporating two unique, complementary practices, Yoga for Beginners truly gives you the best of both worlds. First, the flowing and energizing solar practice builds strength, endurance, and flexibility from head to toe. A complete body-toning program, it will bring you a sense of overall vitality and wellness. Second, the lunar practice incorporates slower, deeper stretches to help you achieve a lean, long, graceful physique. These moves nourish the muscles, joints, and connective tissues while helping you to release stress and tension.

Do the practices separately or combine them for a total mind/body yoga experience. Easy-to-follow and non-intimidating, Yoga for Beginners will truly transform how you look and feel.

Special Features: Optional Spanish and Spanglish audio tracks
