BOW, N.H. Combine Twister, paint-by-numbers and the ancient Hindu practice of breath control, meditation and poses, and you get Yoga by Numbers.

The approach complete with a numbered mat was designed by a Boston woman whose own health scare inspired her to put yoga in reach for people with physical limitations, tight schedules or other roadblocks to traditional practice.

The oversized yoga mat is dotted with big, numbered circles that look like the target in a rifle scope. The accompanying DVD gives true yoga beginners those who wouldnt know an up-dog from a Chihuahua a step-by-step roadmap to learn the poses at their own pace.

Elizabeth Morrow was an athlete, a skier and soccer player who, two years ago, found herself hospitalized with a right lung full of blood clots, the lower lobe completely collapsed. When she was strong enough to start exercising again, she found even the easiest of yoga classes too taxing. She didnt have the stamina for an hour, couldnt hold the poses the way the instructor wanted.

So, the 32-year-old started thinking of ways to make it easier, more convenient and even more fundamental than the myriad DVDs already on the market.

I was thinking about a paint-by-number kit where you dont need to be Picasso or van Gogh, you just follow what they tell you and youll come out with something, she said. I just wanted something that felt really accessible and doable for people. The image of the mat just popped into my head: Wow, I can do yoga by numbers as well.

The DVD tells users exactly which circle to put their hands and feet in and allows for advancement to more challenging poses.

Yoga by Numbers has been compared to Twister, the popular game with giant colored circles, spinning wheel and crazy, cross-limbed poses. But Morrows cool with that, even when it comes from critics.

I think its awesome when they have that reaction because to me, that means they get it and they know how to use it, said Morrow, a certified yoga instructor.

Morrow has sold to people who live far from a yoga studio, those with tight schedules who need to squeeze in practice whenever they can, and people with health conditions. The National Institutes of Healths National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine reports that recent studies of people with chronic low-back pain suggest yoga can help reduce pain and improve function. Other research shows regular practice might reduce heart rate, blood pressure and stress and may help relieve anxiety and depression.

New York columnist Ruby Warrington samples a grueling new form of yoga

In the heated yoga studio, the sweat is beginning to form on my upper lip. Just a few minutes ago, we were warming up with gentle sun salutations the traditional flowing move that opens most yoga classes.

Now Im holding 6lb hand weights and huffing and puffing my way through squats, performed on a step platform for maximum intensity.

And, led by Zander, a ponytailed hunk who looks as if he should be modelling in Mens Health magazine, it is becoming clear that this isnt going to be yoga as my red-faced classmates and I know it.

Stretch and bend: Yoga devotees Naomi Watts and Reese Witherspoon are pictured here leaving a class in Brentwood, Los Angeles

Im at the new PXT conditioning class at the slick Pure Yoga studio on Manhattans Upper East Side: one of several yoga bootcamp-style classes to have sprung up across Manhattan, where gentle stretching and meditative breathing techniques meet high-intensity cardio drills.

Inventor Loren Bassett says: As much as I love yoga, Ive always believed in cross training to stay in peak condition. You cant just do one kind of workout you need to shock your body to see any real change.
