Gentle Yoga Kit offers the perfect contrast to the sweat till you nearly drop yoga thing. 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.
