iTunes Podcast: Yogadownload.com

I'm really into my Yoga teacher - Kim (NYSC, Verick Street, Thursday's @ 7:30). She's an 85lb contortionist and amazingly sweet and forgiving of my "I'm a foot away from touching my toes" flexibility level. But, Kim only teaches one night a week, and Yoga is turning out to be the one thing at the gym I really enjoy, so in the spirit of that, I'm looking for a band-aid pod-cast to keep me Kim'mafied Friday through Monday.

Exploring the free podcast world of iTunes, I downloaded "YogaDownload.com - 20 Min Yoga sessions." I think there's only five sessions entirely, not like a new one every week. YogaDownload.com sells these podcasts, so I can't imagine they just post them all on iTunes for free.

The instructor is very Kim - She speaks slowly, she's encouraging, she praises me. The free classes are not Level 1 beginner - You'll have to take a few Yoga classes and see people doing the poses to know what she's talking about. I'd say these are at the intermediate level - For people who understand what the poses should look and feel like, but she's not asking you to do a lotus or headstand.

The website also has a helpful picture download of all the poses mentioned.

Wow, that is so awesome! I love these classes. It looks like they have a new podcast as there are two listed in iTunes now, and one of them doesn't work. The one that does work has the pictures of the poses that you can download too. I love it!

Thanks!
