Yoga & Pilates For Indie Rockers

Have you ever wondered why every exercise video seems to be shot on a hermetically sealed soundstage with a Stepford Wife for an instructor and some John Tesh-sounding new-age beat pulsing in the background?

Well Chaos has… she’s a certified yoga instructor and personal trainer who teaches a rock-n-roll hardbody yoga class in the center of Hollywood. She thinks fitness videos can have attitude and great music and the kind of badass energy that’ll psych you up to work out everyday and get in awesome shape. And who are we to argue with a drop-dead gorgeous yogi who could totally kick our asses?

"Music sets the pace and intensity of any workout, it will make you keep going when you want to quit and help you push yourself to the next level," says Chaos. "You can feel the music in your body so why not feel it in your yoga and pilates?

"If listening to indie rock helps you dig deeper into that warrior or pushes you to do one more downward dog push-up, well then I say keep on rockin'!"

YOGA & PILATES FOR INDIE ROCKERS The Best Workout this Side of a Mosh Pit… Plus You’ll Walk Away with a Six-Pack Instead of a Black Eye
Halo Eight is proud to announce the release of Yoga For Indie Rockers and Pilates For Indie Rockers, coming to DVD Fall 2007.

Have you ever wondered why every exercise video seems to be shot on a hermetically sealed soundstage with a Stepford Wife for an instructor and some John Tesh-sounding new-age beat pulsing in the background? Well Chaos has… she’s a certified yoga instructor and personal trainer who teaches a rock-n-roll hardbody yoga class in the center of Hollywood. She thinks fitness videos can have attitude and great music and the kind of badass energy that’ll psych you up to work out everyday and get in awesome shape. And who are we to argue with a drop-dead gorgeous yogi who could totally kick our asses? "Music sets the pace and intensity of any workout, it will make you keep going when you want to quit and help you push yourself to the next level," says Chaos. "You can feel the music in your body so why not feel it in your yoga and pilates? "If listening to indie rock helps you dig deeper into that warrior or pushes you to do one more downward dog push-up, well then I say keep on rockin'!"
Chaos brought together three of her favorite students for the video: - Page Turner (advanced), - Kristina Sefeldt (intermediate), & - Karri Langlois (beginner). With each student working at their own level, viewers at home can decide who to keep pace with and just follow along.
Viewers can also select from four different music channels (indie, pop-punk, electro, and heavy) to set the tempo of their workouts. The videos begin with Chaos running a Beginner Session, explaining every move right down to which muscles each exercise works. Then she leads the students through a hardcore workout with extra adrenaline provided by some of her favorite indie rock bands! “Chaos has put together a video that’s not only fun and cool, but it’s also a really good workout,” said Matt Pizzolo, President of Halo Eight. “It’s like Jane Fonda on crack.”
The For Indie Rockers videos are the flagship titles of Halo Eight’s new DiY-Fest line of alt-culture instructional DVDs. Other upcoming releases from DiY-Fest include Vegan Cooking For Animal Lovers, Bio-Fuel My Ride, and The Chaos Guide To Burlesque Dancing.
Halo Eight is an alternative-culture dvd & soundtrack label specializing in "dangerous films & alt-lifestyle videos." Halo Eight's recent releases include the award-winning urban thriller Threat, the suds-soaked cult comedy Beer: The Movie, and various soundtracks including the critically-acclaimed Threat: Music That Inspired The Movie, which pits hardcore and metalcore bands against breakcore artists for such dizzying mashups as Edgey vs Killswitch Engage and Holocaust vs Minor Threat.
