Constant pressures at work and home? No time to make it to the gym? These eight-week yoga workouts not only relieve stress but also increase flexibility and tone muscles. And the only equipment you need is a yoga mat.

Cynthia Funk and Kimberley Sopinka, sisters and co-owners of The Yoga Sanctuary, guide you through a series of asanas(yoga postures). Watch the video demonstration of each movement, then print the instructions to use as a handy reference.

If you're new to yoga, we recommend practising the Beginner workout. After eight weeks, you may be ready for the eight-week Intermediate workout. The eight-week Advanced workout follows, offering postures that are even more challenging.
