Description:
This two disc set is the first in a series that features the inspired yoga of Max Strom. This practical and beautiful DVD presents an introduction to yoga that is easily accessible to the beginner-to-intermediate practitioner. It is easy to follow, yet also challenging. Too many people confuse yoga with simply being an exercise regime for the body, while others worry yoga is overly spiritual. The classes presented are a holistic practice for developing strength, grace, and healing, of the body, emotions, and mind. Although Yoga appears to be primarily physical, its benefits are far reaching.
This is the first yoga DVD to make full use of the most popular features offered by the DVD format, including: • Two separate lengths of a beginning level yoga practice – a 45 minute version and a 90 minute version. • A Workshop option allowing further instruction on difficult-to-master poses. • Special segments to help you practice meditation, and to get a deeper understanding of yoga. • Three audio options: Max’s voice alone, music, or both. Max Strom is known for his transformational classes and for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students with his soulful, gregarious nature, and profound integrity.
Over 400 students a week come to learn his unique Vinyasa-style yoga which integrates Yoga, Chi Gong, and Movement therapy. His rigorous and flowing classes purify and realign the body, while cultivating a feeling of deep inner peace.
Max Strom is the founder and director of Sacred Movement Yoga in Los Angeles, now merged with Exhale Mind/Body/Spa. He is a member of the International Association of Yoga Therapists, and registered with the Yoga Alliance. Max is known for his philosophical insights and has authored a forthcoming book on Yoga.

Rating:  - Max Strom is an amazing teacher.
I think anyone wanting to learn more about yoga anotomy and alignment should watch this video. I also recommend TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION
Rating:  - Krikey, this is sublime
I haven't bought a new hatha yoga DVD in a while but from the glowing reviews and a desire for some variety in my home practice I took a chance and I'm so glad I did.
I've used Ali McGraw's wonderful DVD taught by Eric Schiffman since that was relased 10 years ago, as well as Bryan Kest's original Power Yoga Series, both of which I do love, and Seane Corn's DVDs. I still love those, and I own about 20 Kundalini yoga DVDs that I rotate and use religiously, but this is quite special.
First, I love Max. Such amazingly peaceful, loving energy. He's the kind of guy you want to hug immediately. So that sets the tone. Second, the meticulous detail on these 2 discs is admirable and SOOOO valuable. I've been practicing yoga for about 20 years, give or take, and with the brief workshops on various challenging poses (and poses I never thought of as challenging but in fact they are when done properly) I am finding my own practice to be transformed through his teaching. Moving my hips into cat tilt while in cobra was a WHOLE other experience; protected my back, engaged the core and just brought such energy and strength to a pose I've done for years and years thinking I was "just fine". You can always go a little further, make it a little safer and make even the simplest poses can become more active. That's the alchemy I found in this DVD.
There are two separate classes; one of 90 minutes, the other is 45. They both end with a wonderful and lengthy stay of having your ... Read More
Rating: - Multi-Useful, LOVE Max
I used to take Yoga with Max back when Exhale in Venice was Sacred Movement. I was disappointed when he sold to Exhale and moved away. He is an extraordinary teacher with a gift that's hard to explain.
His voice is calming and he gives off the most positive energy. His 90 minute classes were so therapeutic, sometimes I cried...
This DVD is fantastic. You have your choice of 45 or 90 minutes and you can also choose to just select the meditation option. Best exercise video I have. I travel with it.
Rating: - A wonderful workout that makes you feel good!
This great DVD by Max Strom has many additions not all yoga videos have: focus on breathing (which makes everything so much easier!), detailed explanations and examples of each asana for proper technique and safety, and options for different experience levels.
Max guides with clarity, humbleness, and humor. The sign of a good teacher. Max gets across the frequencies of peace and understanding, but not in the false spiritual way that sometimes comes along with yoga classes.
The main student is beautiful and also easy to relate to. The music is inspiring.
Before I knew it I was getting a great workout without even thinking about it! And the end meditation is perfect.
Buy this DVD, you will want to pop it in the player all the time for the expansive feeling it gives you.
Rating: - Gifted teacher
I was fortunate enough to attend Max Strom's classes regularly for about a year in Los Angeles. His classes were a transporting experience for many people, including me. The poses were challenging but safely attainable, and provided a framework to keep advancing. I felt healthier than I had in years. My eating habits also improved because I started to crave healthy foods. In the classes I was always inspired and moved by Max's presence, voice, and musical selections.
When I moved back to Connecticut, I purchased an audio recording of Max's Level 1-2 class, and his music compilation "White Swan Yoga Masters, Vol. 1". What a great decision. Here is an email that I recently sent to Max:
Hi Max,
I really enjoy getting your newsletters, and am trying to get to
one of your workshops. Although my practice has not been
where I would like it to be lately, tonight I put on your level 1-2
class CD, along with the 'White Swan Masters Vol 1' CD. It
was great, and I feel so much better. Now, I have the 3rd track
'Ganga Pooja' on repeat - the chanting is really powerful.
Thanks again for all of the inspiration.
Best wishes
