Thursday 10.20am.

Whether you are just starting out, or if you are already a "hard-core" yogi, I'm going to show you how you can feel fantastic every class.

I'm also going to reveal to you why you may NOT be getting the most from your hot yoga poses and why you are possibly even risking injury - and exactly what you can do about it!

Hot Yoga Gives Huge Benefits

Perhaps, like me, you first chose hot yoga for one or many of the following reasons:

• To improve your general fitness;
• To lose weight;
• To deal with stress;
• To become strong and flexible; and
• To feel vital and full of energy all day long! (Who wants to say goodbye to those mid-afternoon slumps?)
• To enjoy that amazing feeling AFTER class, where life simply feels richer, more full of joy - and your body is buzzing with vibrant energy.
• Or maybe you wanted to find a deeper focus, a stronger emotional balance and a fulfilling and lasting happiness.

Perhaps also like me, you discovered you could gain a whole lot more once you started practicing regularly!

There is no doubt hot yoga has had a profound affect on my life ... as I am sure it does (or will be doing!) for you!

But What Is Hot Yoga's Hidden Flaw?

Yes it's true - it's not all roses!

Why?

Well ... I'm here to tell you that you may NOT be getting the finesse in the instruction that you deserve ... because many hot yoga classes are taught to a "script"!

Look ... this "teach to a script" method has been great for helping popularize yoga classes, and while many classes seem great, simply following a scripted or recited class makes it much more difficult to dramatically improve your practice and take your benefits to the next level.

Here's the thing ...

The finessing, the nuances, the subtleties, the knowledge of yoga anatomy and the capability to teach to a very high standard do NOT come from using a script to teach yoga.

And it is HARD to find precise information and detailed advice – there is precious little available.

But I hear you say, my classes feel great? Doesn't that mean I am improving anyway?

Not necessarily!

Yoga is a "practice".

And there is a BIG difference between a great (and safe) practice ... and a bad one where poor habits could well be MULTIPLYING RISKS.

I've witnessed students making classic mistakes time and time again (and some teachers who are unable to offer a correction* because they have never been taught how to correct them).

Even worse, you could happily be following your teacher's script, thinking your movements and pose positions are correct, when in fact, there are times when you could be at risk of injury!

*I really DO want to acknowledge that there are amazing hot yoga teachers that ARE doing a wonderful job – making the "script" their own, changing people's lives - and helping raise the bar.

Don't Unknowingly Put
Yourself At Risk Of Injury!

It really worries me when people say: "Go back until it hurts", "It's supposed to hurt like hell", "Kill yourself".

It  should worry you too! ... But only if you are interested in dramatically improving the benefits you get from your own practice.

Any yoga (not just hot yoga) needs much more than a rote-learned, motivational "script" to be safe and effective.

Because if you are serious about getting the most out of your practice, you'll want to learn exactly how to apply accurate techniques to make changes ... but where IS that information?

Where Will You Learn
The Best Techniques?

This is a great question for you to ask!

To answer this I'd like to share a little of my story with you.

Back in 1999 when I first started practicing, I was HOOKED!

I went to class 7 or 8 times a week – and quickly developed a "good" practice. The teachers were great, classes were friendly – and I was often used as an example to other students or even to demonstrate a pose.

But I found it really hard to improve from there – I was missing the "expert tips". There were no corrections for my mistakes that I knew I MUST be making, or help to progress beyond where I was in my practice.

I was desperate to learn more.

So I went to teacher training in Los Angeles. It was amazing to be exposed to 264 other trainees who were as passionate about hot yoga as I was!

As a dentist, I was looking to gain a deeper understanding of hot yoga anatomy; physiology and teaching all body types to benefit from the yoga ... but it fell short of my expectation.

In fact, people who were at my training will probably still remember (fondly I might add!) the public "difference of opinion" I had with one doctor who had presented a medical fact that I knew to be simply wrong. I just couldn't let everyone else walk away with that misconception and potentially pass it on to their own students.

Now let me be straight with you – I am very grateful for my yoga lineage and the various teacher trainings that do bring "yoga to the masses".

But there is no doubt in my mind that this "franchise style method" means that you and I may NOT be getting the full benefit of years of refined experience and wisdom.

It all comes down to this: How are YOU going to get the depth in the poses, the coaching, the adjustments and corrections, the changes in your practice you might need to make just to avoid injury.

How will you uncover the techniques you deserve on YOUR personal journey – when the information simply isn't readily available?

My Mission Was :
To Learn EVERYTHING!

Back in 2001, I was feeling the same way ...

I wanted more, dammit!

I set out to learn. To research.

To put world class teaching techniques into place so that MY students could have the best exposure to everything they could want to improve their own hot yoga practice.

It took years to put all this together – firstly in my own practice, and then as a teacher and studio owner. I happily shared whatever I put into practice with many of my own teachers – and learned things in return from those that also had a passion to give the best they could.

I've witnessed students totally liberated and jumping for joy when they "get it" – and all we did was offer a minor shift in an approach that "should" be obvious.

Most importantly for you, over the last 9 years or so, I've developed a terrific resource of knowledge and practical techniques that I am passionate about sharing.

What I Discovered Most
People Are Thirsty For ...

A little over 2 years ago, I asked visitors at our website – already popular for its huge amount of free information – what they were really looking for.

I was completely shocked at the response!

They were looking for exactly what I was looking for back in 1999 – a definitive instructional guide with precision step-by-step techniques and instructions for how THEY could dramatically improve.

What more motivation did I need? ;)

I Ended Up Sharing
ALL My Best Work!

What I thought would initially be a step-by-step guide, evolved over 18 months of pouring my heart, soul and sweat into what is now "The Hot Yoga MasterClass™", a 304-page Manual and 2 x DVD Set*.

So now, if:

• You want to transform your own practice
• You want to learn in a few weeks what it took me years to discover
• You want to breakthrough "plateaus" in your poses
• You want to uncover EXACTLY what needs to improve in your pose alignment
• You want to reduce the risk of injury
• You want to accommodate existing injuries – and still practice safely
• You want to safely and effectively modify a pose to suit YOUR body type
• You want to learn which parts of a pose to focus on ... and why
• You want to learn how to focus, remove distractions and gain a deeper satisfaction from your class
• You want to know how to advance in your own practice and "where to go next" – even if your teacher isn't aware or sufficiently experienced
• You want to know how to continue practicing even if you encounter overly dogmatic - or worse – aggressive teachers (yes, can you believe it? They DO exist!)
• You want to set up a home practice – including how to set up and heat your room
• You want to make this amazing yoga be the life-changing practice it can be (and if you already think it's life changing ... well I agree with you! Imagine how much MORE of a difference you can make when you "discover what you didn't know"!)

* DVDs have over 9 hours of class variety, including Double Set, Single Set and a Full 90-Minute Hot Yoga Class.

Then you'll LOVE The Hot Yoga MasterClass™!

Here are just a FEW of the hundreds of things you'll learn ...

1. Always falling out of Standing Head To Knee? Want to feel powerful in this challenging pose? Learn the "75%" rule that will transform your "struggle" into solid, focused benefits, each and every class.
2. Want to feel STRONG and INVINCIBLE? Discover the critical correction that you can make to transform Triangle pose from having you feel like you are falling over, to a pose that embodies the "internal warrior" it is named after.
3. How do you develop "strength AND flexibility" in Standing Bow? Always falling forward? Learn the intricacies of this pose - including where your extended arm should be placed and how it has a profound effect on the depth of your backbend. Hint: It is not where you think.
4. Find out the simple change in the way you think about Eagle pose that will get you rock solid alignment every time, regardless of whether you have a good 'wrap' .
5. Are your hamstrings fighting with your spine in Hands To Feet and Standing Separate Leg Intense Stretch? You could actually be doing yourself and your back HARM in these poses ... when you should be blissfully stretching! Learn how to engage reciprocal inhibition and turn this around for your benefit.
6. And continuing in that same theme - learn how to work out YOUR key foot distance in Standing Separate Leg Intense Stretch that minimizes any risk of back injury ... without inadvertently reversing your benefits.
7. Improve your balance and poise! If you've ever felt completely "clumsy" when trying to get into Toe Stand ... then you need the 3 different ways to get into the final position, depending on your body geometry.
8. Aching back? Not sure how to protect it and still do yoga? Discover how to transform the entry to specific poses if you ever have an acute backache, that will still allow you to get the benefits and participate in class, while helping heal your back.
9. Learn the 1 shoulder adjustment that will dramatically shift your floor Savasana to create the cleansing, calming, healing space it should be.
10. Do those sit-ups feel confusing? Not sure what to do for best results? Did you know that the sit-up can either be dangerous OR improve your core strength simply based on exactly HOW you do it? Transform your sit-up into a back-strength and core-strength exercise.
11. Keep yourself safe! Discover 2 alternatives to a sit-up when you are too tired, your back is too sore, too weak or your body is injured.
12. Finding it hard to breathe in this intense compression? Learn how to just about guarantee excellent alignment (and results!) in Separate Leg Head to Knee by preserving the technique but changing your approach.
13. Create a better, stronger, more focused hot yoga practice! Banish the unnecessary movements in your class that have somehow slipped into most people's practices over the years - and feel the huge difference in your practice as a result.
14. Learn DOZENS of modifications (that are NOT in "the script"!), with photos, for common complaints; injuries and medical conditions, so you can use your yoga to help your body ... and avoid causing any additional problems.
15. And many, many more, pose-specific techniques that will help you feel "even more fantastic" ... each and every class!

 

 

 

 

So What Exactly IS
The Hot Yoga MasterClass™?

Imagine a coffee-table-quality, atlas-sized manual (I'll tell you exactly what is in the DVDs a little later) filled with 744 large, high quality photos and plain-english explanations for every step – INCLUDING common mistakes and how to fix them – and you're starting to get a sense of what I've put together for you.

Here's what's in it:

The Hot Yoga MasterClass™ is a 304-page high-quality hot yoga reference manual.

• A 54 page "beyond the poses" section covers "everything you need to know" (and this is not just for beginners – I've had advanced students look at the material and uncover a ton of new things to try!)
• This section also includes a full chapter on the most common injuries and conditions - and the general modifications required. Where this is specific to only one or two poses, it is cross-referenced  and shown in detail in the specific pose chapter.
• Then, chapter-by-chapter I take apart each and every pose, using the following format:
  • The Essentials
  • What Makes This Pose So Difficult To Get Right?
  • The Technique
  • Common Mistakes And How To Fix Them

I'll expand on these various sections in a moment ... but first I need to tell you about the most amazing thing ... the photos and why they will really make the difference.

Every Precise Detail
Is Meticulously Demonstrated
With Full Color
Hi-Definition Photography

There are over 740 professionally photographed pictures in the manual (744 to be exact). I spent literally weeks and weeks sifting through the MANY THOUSANDS of shots we took over many days, to find EVERY ANGLE that would make the difference in showing you the exact technique.

I've included ALL the subtleties and nuances I've learned and taught over the years (believe me, some of these are not so easy to photograph!). We had to use a trick set-up with 3-cameras and a fourth roving camera to catch every aspect of every pose as we photographed our models (real students just like you and I) demonstrating them.

ALL "technique" shots are LARGE PHOTOS - this makes it very easy to see the incredible detail.

The technique photos are deliberately larger to make it very easy to stand up, try them out and see them from a distance.

The "models" are regular yoga students, just like you and I. Normal bodies. Some flexible, others less so. (Of course I think they do look gorgeous in their outfits too ...).

Mistakes discussed are also shown photographically. Sometimes we had to stop because we were laughing so much trying to do something "deliberately wrong" – but the result was worth the effort.

You'll see EXACTLY what not to do – but more importantly you'll also see HOW TO CORRECT IT.

Each pose chapter is "color-coded" – so it is easy to reference quickly. Even the clothing is color-coded for consistency.

The manual is constructed from high-quality paper (you can't see through it). It is designed to be a lasting practical tool which will still look great on your coffee table in years to come.

It is "spiral bound" so that it will lay flat perfectly. This is SO important when you come to use it for practicing. Who likes to "break the spine" of a beautiful book in order to use it? Not me!

Each Pose Chapter Is Divided
Into Easy To Follow Sections

So let me explain the sections in more detail – one of which I think is the absolute key.

"The Essentials"

An overview of the main elements of the posture, The "Essentials" helps you get clearly focused on the main pose objectives.

"What Makes This Pose
So Difficult To Get Right?"

Funnily enough, it isn't always the obvious challenge in certain poses that makes them tricky to get "just right ". I've singled out what I've found to be the real key (or keys in many cases) to making the pose work effectively, no matter what depth you practice to.

"The Technique"

This is where the rubber meets the road – this section literally takes you step-by-step through the pose:

• How To Set Up
• How To Get Into The Pose
• What You Should Be Experiencing
• How To Get Out Of The Pose
• ... and more!

There is really too much to list here, but I also reference the best breathing rhythm for the pose and various other tips and techniques to guide you through the posture.

Each and every step is accompanied by photographs demonstrating that exact step.

It is also color-coded so the steps stand-out on the page - this makes it super-easy to follow each step as you are practicing the pose.

Where there are variations between "sets", or there is a "deeper version" these are included here.

To My Knowledge, The Information
In This Section Of The Manual Is
Not Available Anywhere Else:

"Common Mistakes
And How To Fix Them"

I believe this is totally unique! I have never seen a yoga book – let alone a hot yoga manual – where so much detailed effort has been put into showing photos of REAL PEOPLE doing the poses WRONG ... along with text and photos of HOW TO FIX THEM.

I have put every ounce of my years of discovery into this section – every pose chapter includes this, including Savasana –  so if there's a common mistake you've come across and have been wondering how to fix it, you'll most likely find it in this section!

Where possible, I've placed the mistake and the "correct alignment" together, with a checkmark (tick) on the correct pose so it's easy to find.

ALL mistake photos are bordered so they are clearly differentiated from the much larger "technique" photos.

You'll always be clear which is which!

Also in the "common mistakes" section are some "gray areas". Not everyone's body can do every pose in the way it is intended, so there ARE exceptions where a modification can "look" like a mistake, when it isn't. Where this is the case, I spell out acceptable modifications, along with photos labeled with an asterisk (*).

Large, Easy To Read Format

The Hot Yoga MasterClass™ is deliberately large (like I say, think "atlas dimensions").

This is so you can extract maximum detail from each high-definition picture. We used a three camera setup during the photo-shoots so that side, front and overhead photos could be taken while the student was in the pose. We also used a roving camera for super-duper detailed close-ups and funky angles.

I designed the manual in a large format so you can gain maximum benefit from all these amazing photos!

The Hot Yoga MasterClass™ DVDs

Yes ... it's true, you can't learn everything from a book!

Sometimes, to obtain the maximum benefits, you need to hear the instructions AND see the image at the same time.

So I've made not one, but TWO very unique DVDs.

What Makes Them Unique?

Because they use the live soundtrack from my classes! You'll hear me instructing the very details explained in the manual – and you'll also hear this in a live environment with real students (I even mention them by name during the class!).

(Click "Play" below to watch snippets from DVD Vol I & DVD Vol II)

 

I deliberately did NOT video-tape a live class, because, in my opinion, this makes it difficult, if not impossible to show ALL angles, and every correction visually.

Quite uniquely, I have gone a few steps further and put crystal-clear detailed and precise photographic demonstrations at each exact point on the DVD where the audio track mentions them (watch the snippets above and you'll see what I mean).

DVD Benefits

• You can play the DVD as a stand-alone class. Or you can use it as a reference that you will come back to time and time again.
• Bullet point text appears at key moments to reinforce your quick understanding.
• "Right" and "wrong" pose alignments are shown with green checks (ticks) and red crosses – no mistaking which is which.
• The background is pure white. No unnecessary distractions.
• I also had Volume One made so you can navigate directly to ANY POSE you wish to see specifically! (Just like a "scene selection" in a movie.)
• Even more exciting is that both DVDs contain class variations!

Running out of time? Wish you had a 40-min class? Simply use the DVD menu, press "play" ... and you're good to go!

What Is The Difference
Between The Two DVDs?

You are probably aware that in the hot yoga community, many poses are practiced twice in quick succession. But when I travel I love to practice a "one-set-no-savasana" class which takes about 35-40 mins. It feels great and I keep my commitment to my personal practice!

So Volume One has a variety of classes constructed from the "traditional" or more common "double-set" poses.

And Volume Two is only constructed from single "sets".

Here's EXACTLY What's In The DVDs:

Volume One

• A 35-minute class

• A 60-minute class
• A 75-minute class
• A 90-minute class
• An all standing poses "class" (double set)
• An all floor poses "class" (double set)
• Pose-by-pose menu selection

Total "running time" (all class variations): 5 hrs 50mins

Volume Two

• Warm–up with standing poses, 20 minute class

• The 25 minute Pick-Me-Up class, moderate intensity
• The 35 minute class, moderate intensity
• The 50 minute strong class
• The Standing pose class (single set)
• The Floor pose class (single set)

Total "running time" (all class variations): 4 hrs 05mins

As you can see, the DVDs are quite different.

* DVDs are REGION FREE, professionally pressed & printed (not burned) and will play on any DVD Player or Computer and on both NTSC and PAL systems.

So ... How Can You
Lay Your Hands On This Material?

And I'm sure you're also thinking ... "how much is this all going to cost?".

To be honest, I've had marketing experts who have seen the Hot Yoga MasterClass™ manual tell me that up to $350 is not unreasonable for such detailed and highly photographic material of a limited nature. I guess they must be thinking about the text-books they had to purchase at Harvard!

No ... it's way less than that!

My aim is to keep the manual down to about the price of a typical monthly pass or around 15 classes (class prices vary enormously by the way!).

This Is Valuable,
Life-Changing
Information!

You can do the sums for yourself: You could go to class 5 times per week for up to a year. In that time, you would literally spend well over $1,000 on monthly passes but STILL not make the kind of IMMEDIATE improvements that other owners of The Hot Yoga MasterClass™ are raving about.

Your Iron-Clad Guarantee

I am so certain that you will love this package that I'm giving you my 100% satisfaction guarantee*! I guarantee that if The Hot Yoga MasterClass™ Manual does NOT improve your practice way more than 15 classes ever could, then I'll give you a 100% refund! (You have a full 60-days under my Guarantee*. Does not include shipping.)

For A *Very* Limited Time Only

I know from the feedback already given to me by many happy students that it is the COMBINATION of the Manual and DVDs that ACCELERATES your breakthroughs - and your enjoyment of all the wonderful benefits.

So I'm going to go out on a limb and make you a special offer if you order today:

UPDATE: There are less than 7 6 of these hardcover Collector's Edition Packages now remaining -- after which there will be no more!

 

Here's what Thomas, Diane and Lennie - all long-time students - said:

By my calculations, you'd actually save money - less classes needed to "learn" - more classes getting the REAL benefits you are going for!

No more class after class wondering if you "got something right".

No more trying to get hold of a busy teacher to discuss "something that doesn't feel quite right" or a pose you "just don't get".

And no need to spend tons of money on private lessons (typically anywhere from $100 to $225 per lesson) - because ALL you need is in The Hot Yoga MasterClass™.
