Sara Ivanhoe – Yoga on the EdgeThree totally non-intimidating yoga programs filmed on a tranquil Bahamian beach. The workouts have a unique spontaneity and authenticity because they were created in the moment — Sara didn’t pre-plan the moves. Instead, she let her feelings and surroundings guide the movement selection (so every pose isn’t perfect, and she doesn’t expect yours to be perfect either). Sunrise is the first workout it’s the most challenging (59:15 in length) with the largest variety of positions. High Noon (38 minutes) is next; it’s focused on breath and balance. Sunset (27:52) is the last program; it’s designed to calm your mind and body at day’s end. Instrumental music with soft, yoga-style chanting. ©2008. Level: Intermediate. Total length of all three workouts: 121 minutes.”Sunrise” practice moves through postures quickly to wake the up and going.

It is the longest and most physically challenging of the three programs. ‘High Noon’ uses the serene surroundings to inspire breath and balance. ‘Sunset’ is a calming sequence designed to wind the body down after a hard day.After years of making yoga videos in the studio, I wanted to create a series that was more spontaneous. The idea is that yoga happens in the moment and that we, as practitioners are affected by and connected to our surroundings. That way, every where we go, every time we practice, it’s a little different. Yoga on the Edge was created for that purpose, to literally embody different locations around the world.This first series was shot in Harbour Island, The Bahamas. I simply started practicing yoga inspired by my surroundings. You’ll be able to see that none of the yoga was planned or rehearsed in anyway. I make mistakes, wipe my face and fall out of balancing postures, just like I do in real life when I practice, just like we all do.As you are in the comfort of your home, I recommend that you practice on a non slip surface or yoga sticky mat, that you wear comfortable clothes you can move in and that you wait at least an hour or two after a meal before practicing yoga. Even though you are in your home, imagine you are practicing with me. Allow the music and the beauty of Harbour Island to transport you to a magical place.This DVD consists of 3 separate workouts – Sunrise, High Noon and Sunset.Sunrise Practice – Shot on the beach, this workout moves through postures more quickly to wake the body up and get going.
