Yoga Journey Productions™ and Get Inspired Yoga™ Collaborate on "Yoga for Midlife DVD" to Inspire Largest Growing Yoga Audience to Be Healthy Once Again

Bringing Encouragement and Empowerment to 70+ Million Baby Boomers to Inspire them to be healthy once again through the practice of Yoga!

Vista, California – August 15, 2010 - As over 70 million Baby Boomers make their way towards the Big 5-0 and the even bigger 6-0, many are finding their physical bodies have changed. Former athletes, cheerleaders and beanpole kids are now huffing and puffing from their car to their front door wondering what happened to the body of their youth. The Glory Days seem long gone, but what lies ahead physically is the great unknown for this aging population. Will it be hypertension, diabetes, arthritis or could it possibly be vibrant health and a fit body? Get Inspired because you can be healthy once again through the practice of Yoga!

Now 60 years old, Garry Alesio is one of those Baby Boomers that shifted from high gear to low gear in his working life and has never looked back. After years running a successful construction company on the East Coast, he found himself in midlife living in a stressful world that he and his peers could not seem to escape from. Needing to take a family leave to care for his ailing father on the West Coast, he answered the "if not now, when" wake up call and got inspired to change his life. Yoga became a big part of his lifestyle change and the mental attitude required to make such a drastic life shift.

Many Baby Boomers may ask: Can a few down dogs really change decades of mis-use, un-use or even fix damaged joints? "Yoga is not a magic pill you take once and suddenly you are doing handstands. Rather it is a lifestyle choice of movement, deep breathing and letting go of the things that weigh the spirit down. The benefits are far-reaching and last a lifetime," states Sherry Zak Morris, CEO of Yoga Journey Productions. "We worked closely with Garry on the production of the Get Inspired Yoga for Midlife DVD to offer a challenging, yet approachable yoga program that would inspire, motivate and help Mid-Lifers experience the benefits of yoga", concluded Zak Morris.

Garry's encouraging style is like a good friend prompting you to give it the old college try. A "You can do it" attitude is echoed in his easy-to-follow instructions that seem to help you glide from one yoga pose to another. The DVD also includes a 30 minute relaxing guided meditation to calm the mind and help the body get into a state of rest, which is often elusive to many busy and stressed-out Baby Boomers.

Get Inspired Yoga for Midlife is a calling to Baby Boomers to take a reality check on their health status and to be encouraged and be inspired! The body can gain back its strength, flexibility and mobility. By practicing yoga for just a few hours every week, Baby Boomers will discover that midlife is just a bend in the road on a long life of health and vitality!
