Yoga CDs by Rudy Peirce

As a yoga teacher myself, I love each of the CD’s in this series. Not only have they brought ease into my personal practice, each one reminds me of warm-ups and postures that my students love as well.  Rudy’s yoga classes are a respite indeed!”    Vandita Kate Marchesiello,  Director,  Kripalu Yoga Teachers Association

The Gentle Series

Gentle I Rudy PeirceGentle I This is the first of the series of gentle sequences developed while teaching hundreds of classes at Kripalu Center in Lenox, Massachusetts and in the villages of Central Vermont.  The sequences were designed so that anyone who came to class could follow along and benefit deeply.

 Thank you so much for making the Gentle Yoga CDs!  I’m sending one to my cousin in Florida who tried a tape that was too hard for her; she’s approaching my age – 69.  The other is for my sister in Alabama who wants to tighten her abdomen; I told her this did that for me.         Faith Houston – Morris, New York

Gentle II Rudy Peirce

Gentle II   This sequence will stretch and open the body in the gentle and accessible style of Gentle I. It provides a creative sequence of stretches and postures to add variety to your gentle yoga practice.

Like Gentle I, Gentle II is designed so that both the beginner and the experienced practitioner can easily understand and benefit from the practice.

Gentle III Rudy Peirce Gentle III   The intention of this CD is to offer short 20-minute sequences of gentle yoga that can be used when you have limited time. Each of the sequences provide a methodical variety of stretches that release typical tensions and pockets of blocked energy.

These sequences are drawn from the gentle and accessible style of Gentle I and II, the first Gentle Series CDs.  Like Gentle I and II, Gentle III is designed so that both the beginner and the experienced practitioner can easily understand and benefit from the practice.   This CD also includes a guided 20 minute practice of meditation.

Gentle IV Rudy PeirceGentle IV   The intention of this CD is to present a new wrinkle in the “Gentle Yoga” style, which involves approaching postures by moving in and out of the stretch, and then relaxing into a holding of the deepest expression of the pose.

This sequence has from the evolved from the gentle and accessible style of Gentle I, II and III, the first Gentle Series CDs.  Like Gentle I, II and III Gentle IV is designed so that both the beginner and the experienced practitioner can easily understand and benefit from the practice.

I went to one of your classes at Kripalu and really liked it. I have been practicing [with your CD] Gentle IV since, with great benefit to my low back.  Barry G.

 

 

The Invigoration Series

Intermediate-Level Yoga Practice

Rudy Peirce Fanning the FireFanning the Fire 

This CD is the first in the Invigoration Series of CDs that provide the yoga student with asana, pranayama and meditation practices that build on the experience of the beginning practices of yoga. While increased flexibility and body awareness are required, care is given to explore modifications and options that make the challenges accessible to those with some joint stiffness and tight muscles.

The intention of this type of yoga practice is to stimulate energy, increase flexibility, and deepen the practice of pranayama and meditation. This sequence provides deep stretches for the entire body with special emphasis on the hips and shoulders. It includes a vinyasa (posture sequence linked by breath) of standing postures called the Thunderbolt sequence, designed for the Men’s Yoga Quest program, but enjoyed by mixed classes for nearly two decades now. This practice sequence also includes a strengthening and cleansing technique called Uddiyana Bandha and Agni Sera Dhauti. Because this involves pumping the abdomen, this series lends itself to the beginning of the day, before breakfast. It must be done on an empty stomach.
