SILVER SPRING, MD — Offering two 20-minute joyful yoga workouts, Acacia debuts Hemalayaa: Yoga for Everyone on DVD April 7, 2009. With her warm, playful personality and expert instruction, Hemalayaa has built a solid reputation for fun, effective programs unlike anything else available. Now with her latest workout, Hemalayaa shows that yoga doesn’t have to be serious to be effective. Though she's best known for her top-selling Bollywood dance workouts, Hemalayaa is first and foremost a yogi.

Designed for everyone from novice to advanced, this lighthearted approach will especially appeal to beginners who fear that yoga is too difficult or esoteric for them. This playful program is divided into two 20-minute practices that can be done separately or together to fit your needs. The first workout relieves stress and opens the heart while the second strengthens the core and connects you to your body. You’ll feel happy and renewed, strong and flexible, calm and grounded. The workouts feed the soul and nourish the mind and body in a simple, blissful, and carefree way.

Hemalayaa brings fun and laughter to fitness as the star of the bestselling Bollywood dance DVDs: The Bollywood Dance Workout, the third highest-selling fitness DVD at Borders in 2007, Bollywood Burn, Beautiful Belly, and most recently Bollywood Booty. But yoga is her first love. A certified instructor, she teaches yoga and Indian dance in California and offers frequent workshops and retreats around the world. Hemalayaa has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Today Show, among many other television appearances.
