I know what you mean Moon by some yoga is simular to dance warm ups,the yoga I have for abs by yogazone,you stand in mountain pose,pull in from just below the naval,then the belly button,then the solar plaxeus,its so simple,casual,so you can do it at the bus station or anywhere you are just standing and waiting,and the burn it gives the abs is realy quite amazing!

theres a couple of dance moves Rachel shows in her dvd,and they arent too different from the yoga move I just shared,so I can realy see how yoga and dance are realy great at working handc in hand.

yshka,i hope you enjoy your dvd,let us know how you go xx

* Yamas
Yama is your attitude towards others and the world around you. There are five Yamas:

1. Ahimsa or non-violence. This Yama does not only mean not doing harm to others in thought and in deed, but also to practice acts of kindness to other creatures and to one's own self.
2. Satya or truthfulness. Satya is the Yama that is about living a truthful life without doing harm to others. To practice Satya, one must think before he speaks and consider the consequence of his action. If the truth could harm others, it might be better to keep silent.
3. Asteya or non-stealing. This Yama is not only concerned about the non-stealing of material objects but also the stealing of other's ideas and other forms of possession. Using power for selfish motives or telling someone else about confidential information you had been entrusted with is against Asteya.
4. Bramacharya or non-lust. Bramacharya means to move toward the essential truth or to achieve self-control, abstinence or moderation especially regarding to sexual activity. It is about not giving in to our ego's excessive desires or taking nothing in excess.
5. Aparigraha or non-possessiveness. This Yama is about living a life free from greed or taking only what is necessary and do not take advantage of someone or of a situation. It is about using our powers correctly and appropriately and not exploiting others.
