New workout aims for gain without the pain

The way we trim and tone our bodies changes by the decade: Running in the '60s and '70s, aerobics in the'80s, kickboxing and indoor cycling in the '90s. In recent years, power yoga and Pilates have strengthened our cores and flattened our abs. Through it all, we got fit, but we often played hurt.

Yoga in the Garden of Serenity
"Boston-based and Kripalu-certified Anderson is an accomplished, thoughtful teacher with a quiet, soothing manner (as befits her tape's subtitle). Most of the session --except for the Gate Series, in which the postures are statically held-- moves gracefully along, almost like a ballet. The exercises concentrate on the neck and shoulders, spine, and hips--just the ticket for office workers, who tend to stiffen in exactly these areas."
--Yoga Journal, May/June 2002.

Though she had enjoyed her job, she said her true love was yoga. She had been practicing yoga since she was fifteen years old, studying with well - known teachers, and occassionlally teaching herself through adult education programs."
