Yoga For Performers

Asanas are yoga poses or postures that are wrapped around deep breathing.   The 38 asanas in the Yoga for Performers practice have been selected from hundreds of asanas because they focus on the developmental elements that performers need most: building greater breathing capacity, flexibility, stamina, coordination, as well as stress and weight control.  The asanas in the practice have been photographed using actual performers.  They are displayed with clear directions in a guided sequence of 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Additional display of alternative poses, modified for larger bodies, is  also included so everyone can use this practice, anytime, anywhere.  Load these files on your laptop, tablet, or smart phone, and use the program at home or as you travel to guide your Yoga for Performers practice.  PowerPoint images are assembled as guided practice, and can be customized as you wish.   If you don't have PowerPoint, simply use the JPEG files and the "slideshow" function in either Windows or Mac to view the images in order.
