BALANCE YOUR BODY AND SOUL WITH PEGGY CAPPY'S NEW EXERCISE.

Audiences can build healthier hearts and stronger bodies with Peggy Cappy's newest yoga special, Heart Healthy Yoga. Set for release on September 1 from WGBH Boston Video, Heart Healthy Yoga teaches simple, easy to learn yoga poses that are perfect for anyone at any age and any ability.

A strong heart is critical to a healthy body. Now Peggy Cappy, creator of the Yoga for the Rest of Us series, offers a heart-healthy approach to yoga in her signature gentle style that every body can do.

This 90-minute program includes two workouts - one demonstrating floor exercises and one that includes poses modified using a chair for extra support and stability-designed for total beginners and yoga experts alike. Make this your daily yoga routine, improving your heart health as well as your overall health.

Divided into five easy-to-do segments, this workout is centered around sun salutations, the series of twelve poses that work the entire body. Featuring dynamic movements for the spine, lunges, side stretches, breathing techniques, leg stretches and relaxation poses, you'll enjoy doing this at home. Plus, there is a five-minute breathing technique that once learned, you can do anywhere, even while driving your car. You'll love the results-improved balance, greater joint flexibility, increased endurance, stronger bones, and reduced levels of stress and anxiety.

Peggy Cappy, a yoga instructor for over 30 years, has developed and perfected her adaptable style of yoga by field-testing in her hometown of Peterborough, New Hampshire.

Heart Healthy Yoga includes the following special features:

* Bonus video! A 25-minute program showing how Peggy has helped countless converts, ranging in age from 20-90, make yoga a way of life.

* Closed captions
