Yoga for Gardeners is a comprehensive yoga program created by an orthopedic medical doctor, Gail Dubinsky, MD, who is also an experienced yoga teacher as well as a passionate organic gardener! The aim of this yoga DVD is to help practitioners prevent or at least minimize acute or repetitive gardening injuries by developing strength and flexibility applicable to gardening tasks, while adopting yogic attitudinal principles such as non violence, moderation and self-awareness. This "Why Yoga?" clip is an excerpt from the first chapter of Yoga for Gardeners, which discusses the basic principles of gardening ergonomics, body mechanics, pacing and gardening "smarter not harder".
