I have discovered a new show that I love, and have DVR’d so that I can do it any time I want called Namaste Yoga, on the Fit network (I think it’s actually called Fit TV). The practices they do are very flowing and actually pretty quick, but I can keep up even though I’m nowhere near perfect with my yoga.

I will say that for a beginner, Namaste yoga is probably not good since you do have to constantly be changing positions and sometimes need to know what position they are talking about since you can’t see the TV in some of the positions and can only hear the calming, soothing voice of the narrator directing you what to do.

And that’s another reason I lvoe Namaste Yoga on Fit TV, the voice of the narrator is extremely calming. The girls who they show doing the practices are very peaceful and serene looking, and watching them alone can help lower your heart rate, especially since their graceful moves are set against peaceful backdrops that are reminiscent of a professional yoga studio or something one might find in a paradise like Bali or Hawaii.

The only complaint I have about Namaste yoga is of course that it has commercials. Although I fast forward through them, it kind of breaks my rhythm, and it’s hard to get back in the practice after they come back from a break. You will break a sweat however, doing their practices, which are all choreographed by someone who obviously has a great love for yoga and intermingling different positions while also making the movements seems liquid and easy, giving a soothing feel to the series.
