Kathryn Budig, one of yoga's newest and most widely recognized faces, delivers an entirely new energy to the practice of yoga.

In the final DVD chapter, Yoga Poses Demystified, self-described by Budig as the "super workshop," Budig breaks down five of her favorite poses into simple, easy to follow steps.

"I'm a huge fan of and believer in Gaiam's commitment to yoga and healthy lifestyles and am very excited to work with them," says Kathryn Budig. "Yoga has changed my life and I believe that it can change the world, so I'm very excited to share Aim True Yoga!"
