NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Gaiam, Inc., the leading distributor of lifestyle media, announced today the release of Maya Fiennes' Yoga for Real Life. Fiennes' yoga is based on the discipline, Kundalini Yoga, which is a practice that fully engages the mind, body, and spirit, focusing on health and healing to improve the body through the use of its own energy.

In Yoga for Real Life, Fiennes guides viewers through a series of exercises to stimulate the chakras, the powerful spiritual centers of the body. Through breathing techniques, movements and mantras, she demonstrates how to clear the mind and body, preparing users to manifest anything they desire in life. In addition, the DVD provides visuals for all the positions and movements defined in her previously published book, Yoga for Real Life

Fiennes combined her talents as a successful classical pianist and performer, as she composed all the music featured on the DVD, which is designed to connect each body position with specific emotions. This provides a sense of release, as well as a journey from beginning to end, welcoming the unknown.

"From the first time I began practicing Kundalini, I felt such a strong connection as it fully incorporates the mind, body, and spirit in one workout, providing a truly emotional experience," says Fiennes. "I also love how Kundalini is accessible to anyone, whether a beginner or someone familiar with another style of yoga."

"We are excited to work with Maya Fiennes to offer our consumers the opportunity to experience a different yoga practice," says Bill Sondheim, president of Gaiam. "As the Kundalini practice has found a growing audience in the US, this DVD reflects our mission at Gaiam to provide a diversity of options, so that everyone can explore and discover all that yoga has to offer, enabling them to find a practice that is right for them."

Maya Fiennes' Yoga for Real Life has an approximate runtime of 60 minutes and a suggested retail price of $14.98. The DVD will be available beginning September 4, 2012 in stores and online at Amazon.com.
