May 21, 2004 -- "Accessible Yoga for Every Body" (58 minutes, $19.95 VHS/DVD), featuring internationally acclaimed yoga instructor, Susan Winter Ward, creator and host of the dynamic television series, "Yoga For The Young At Heart", opens the world of yoga to all levels of ability. Mature adults, baby boomers, and beginners of all ages, can now enjoy the life enhancing yoga experience that's become more popular than ever. Join Susan Winter Ward and her class of mature students. Experience her gentle and sensitive yet powerfully effective teaching method that has earned her awards and universal recognition.
Susan came to yoga in 1990 hoping to relieve herself of back problems and within a short time her back healed and she became a committed instructor herself, bringing yoga mainly to senior citizens and beginners. Recipient of impressive certifications from the White Lotus Foundation, Yoga of the Heart, and the International School of Thai Massage in Thailand, Susan Winter Ward's name has become synonymous with the Vinyasa style of yoga and her philosophy that embraces the concept of the body's intrinsic awareness and intelligence. Susan's classes mirror her devotion to raising the quality of life for her students and viewers with simple classes that are not overwhelming, yet impart a feeling of empowerment.
"Accessible Yoga for Every Body" ignores the knotted-like or pretzel poses, intimidating positions so often associated with yoga. Personable and compassionate, Susan Winter Ward conveys a sense of contagious enthusiasm to her students and encourages them as they gradually master the life enhancing poses that build strength, flexibility, increase vitality, and encourage a feeling of serenity. This is not a flashy or traditional session. You may not learn the Sanskrit names of the poses that you do, but it is highly instructive, steadily paced and never confusing. Susan reminds the viewer constantly that yoga should never hurt and viewers are encouraged to work at their own pace. The class is choreographed to the specially composed music of Benjy Wertheimer, well-know musician of the yoga world community, drawing the student into the class.
Susan Winter Ward's extensive list of credentials, attesting to her qualifications as a teacher of yoga, is impressive. For more than twelve years, her passion for learning and teaching has taken her on journeys throughout the United States and other countries, including engagements in yoga forums held in Thailand and Israel. She is a member of the Board of the American Yoga College and presently conducts classes and workshops at retreats and conventions throughout the world. She has appeared on the cover of Yoga Journal and numerous articles addressing her accomplishments in popularizing yoga have appeared in a variety of mainstream magazines and periodicals. Her "Yoga For The Young At Heart" TV Series airs regularly in Santa Fe, NM.
Also available from "Yoga For The Young At Heart" is "Embracing Menopause" � A Path to Peace & Power (58 minutes, $19.95 VHS/DVD) winner of the 2000 Visionary Awards, awarded by the Coalition of Visionary Resources, featuring Susan Winter Ward and five students, who join her for a soothing yoga session, designed to ease the discomfort and symptoms often associated with the menopause transition. A gradual transformation from tension to relaxation unfolds, resulting from a series of Susan's simple, pleasant yoga routines and inspiring words and music that are supportive, encouraging and life changing.
