Stephen Cope, a renowned Kripalu yoga master who teaches at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health – the largest residential yoga center in America – has assembled the basics to teach would-be yogis from beginning to more advanced poses.With two CDs, a book, and flash cards, Gentle Yoga Kit is the perfect yoga retreat in a box. It's convenient, on-the-go format means it can be used in a variety of ways, in a variety of places. Try it at home or take it along with you when you travel. It will give you the flexibility to retain peace of mind whenever and wherever you need it most.So…Stop what you're doing, strike a pose, breathe in and out, and pay attention to the feelings evoked.

Also a trained psychotherapist and author, Cope has taught at the Kripalu Center for almost 15 years. His books include Yoga and the Quest for the True Self, Will Yoga and Meditation Really Change My Life?, and the forthcoming Yogasutra..
