"The marriage of Gaiam and Kashi is perfect because our companies share a vision of helping people be healthier and more in tune with their bodies," explained Gaiam Vice President of Marketing Howard Ronder.

The Gaiam yoga sampler DVD includes previews from Rodney Yee's "Power Yoga Total Body Workout" and "Yoga Conditioning for Athletes," Patricia Walden's "Yoga for Beginners 2," and Seane Corn's "Vinyasa Flow Yoga: Session 1." Besides being best sellers, two of the DVDs were also recipients of 2004 Aegis Awards, among the oldest and most respected video/film production competitions in the United States.

Target's prominent promotion of health and wellness products is timely, with diabetes and obesity reaching epidemic proportions in America -- and the health benefits of yoga being recognized by such leading medical institutions as Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Target carries a full range of Gaiam products, including the Yoga Beginners Kit, Yoga Essentials(R) mats, Power Yoga Mat Kit and guided yoga practice DVDs from the instructors featured on the sampler, plus a wide range of Gaiam products in other fitness categories: the popular martial arts-yoga fusion "Budokon Beginning Practice with Cameron Shayne" DVD and several Pilates and BalanceBall DVDs.
