Spiritual Master, Yoga Guru Yogi Ramesh, believes that laughter is the best medicine. Through his newest 30-minute DVD, “Laughing & Chair Yoga,” Yogi demonstrates that laughing and breathing exercises can help benefit shortness of breath, asthma, smoking damage, sinus problems, colds, flu, emphysema, bronchitis, allergies, fatigue, etc.
While he is talking, we are treated to beautiful views of the Hawaiian Islands in the background that serve to reinforce relaxation. The second half of the DVD features chair yoga and breathing demonstrations which I found easy to follow. Benefits help the heart, body and mind, and only take a few minutes, the Yogi way. Enthusiastic testimonials from each of the Universal Yoga students at the Norwalk Senior Center make it clear that the exercises really do work.
I recommend this DVD (and all of Yogi’s DVDs) for anyone who really wants a simple and proven method to feel great with natural, healthy benefits. You will laugh yourself healthy! With his DVD and others he has created, Yogi makes yoga easy, affordable and available.
The DVD is available from his website for $17.95 including tax and shipping. Visit the “Yoga Store” at www.universalyoga.org or call (877) 367-9642
