Acacia and Desiree Rumbaugh Review and Giveaway
I am an online shopper, online window shopper and a major researcher. I even shop Amazon DVD’s before they have hit the shelves. I don’t always buy them, but for some reason that is relaxing for me. Wishfully spending money I do not have!
The other night, about 2 weeks ago, I came across a DVD I just had to have. It is choreographed and performed by a lady by the name of Desiree Rumbaugh. She has several out, but this one spoke to me. Well actually my neck and shoulders spoke to me and said, buy me! But like any blogger, I quickly searched around and found they are sold through an amazing, new found company by the name of Acacia. I contacted them and they sent the DVD to review here and of course are giving me a chance to send THREE to Prissy Green readers. but before we get to that, let me tell you a little more about Acacia and Desiree.
Just had to share these too!
Acacia provides distinctive, nature-oriented products to enhance customer’s enjoyment of their surroundings, and to improve their appearance and well-being. We cater to customers seeking quality products that focus on physical and spiritual well-being, fitness, and natural decor.
They have the most incredible selection of FUN fitness DVD’s. They even carry Hoopnotica! Plus an assortment of belly dancing, Latin Dancing, one aptly named, “Bollywood Booty”, and even Sheva Reva-yoga dance.
Acacia also carries general fitness, pilates, yogo, martial arts DVD’s. So there really is no limitations.
Stretchy, French Terry, Cream Loungewear
And that is not even the tip of the iceberg! Apparel, jewelry and footware. This loungewear outfit must be mine. I can see me lounging, shopping and road tripping in it! Made out of stretchy, french terry and the pants are Capri!
Then countless items in their Personal Care section. Ranging from soaps to waxing strips, and soothing sounds for you to drift off to sleep.
Home and Garden section which has ourdoor decor, tableware, bed linens, furniture and lighting. I am asking for gift certificates for Christmas!
Okay so back to Desiree and her DVD titled, Yoga to the Rescue for Neck & Shoulders.
If you’ve ever been to one of Desiree Rumbaugh’s workshops or seen glimpses of one on YouTube, your first impression might be that she teaches in an incredibly challenging style. With the ability to demonstrate some of the most difficult postures and–even more amazingly–getting students to experience the same sequences.
Desirée has a well-earned reputation for deepening even the most advanced practices. She does it with a sense of humor balanced with a quest for authenticity. What is most surprising is her ability to tap into a soft heart and vulnerable spaces to access these wonderful poses. Her unique ability to draw out that bright and shining light from within every student, no matter what level of yoga experience, is her gift to the world.
All this comes from a lifetime of experience with the most extremes of emotions and situations, which have increased her compassion and strengthened her purpose of helping others. After more than twenty years of practice, including being one of the first students and certified teachers of Anusaraâs founder John Friend, Desirée continues to live her passion for yoga every day. Desiree has an astoundingly full teaching schedule, traveling throughout the U.S. and abroad–most recently in India and Asia.
**Please do not let some of that scare you if you are just starting out with yoga. The DVD I have is for beginners and beyond. I truthfully think anyone can handle it.
Take a second to view this video, it is only 45 seconds long. And then come back and tell how great she looks for 50! Holy cow!
The DVD that I have is Yoga to the Rescue for Neck & Shoulders. The neck and shoulders is exactly where I have pain everyday. I have bone spurs in my neck that cause my muscles to cramp. from this DVD I am slowly seeing that pain fade away.
The DVD has a 30 minute tutorial, that in my opinion is priceless. It taught me how to move fluidly, correctly and efficiently. I can say that I have never had a Yoga DVD instruct so beautifully. Following the tutorial, there is a 30 minute Flowing Sequence. Of course the flowing sequence is great, but I think the most beneficial aspect is the instructions. I can know strike a pose (vouge!) whenever I am starting to feel right and cramped, and alleviate that pain before it happens. This is not just stretching. This is aligning your spine, and teaching your body to move more oxygen, training your neck, back and shoulders to be stronger.
I do have THREE of these DVD’s for you special readers! To enter please tell me any item (besides the ones I have mentioned) you would like to own from Acacia!
