Hot Yoga MasterClass
Hot Yoga MasterClass ** UPDATE **
It’s now several months on from the launch of The Hot Yoga MasterClass so I thought I’d give you a brief update!
I’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback and encouragement from people that have taken the plunge and purchased the whole kit - Manual, DVDs, QuickStart Guide and Poster - thank you to everyone who has taken the time to give unsolicited feedback and also to everyone who left a review at the Hot Yoga Doctor Store, it has been a humbling experience.
We’ve also had great feedback for the evolution of the VIP Member’s Area into the Private Members’ Resources & Pose Clinic - Members are reporting great results from applying detailed techniques.
So this note is just to let you know that we’re hard at work improving this site for all hot yoga devotees and providing a constant supply of useful free resources - stay tuned for much much more to come!
As always, if you have any suggestions for things YOU wold like to see - just leave your comments below ...
Namaste

Doors Are Temporarily Closed For Hot Yoga MasterClass - Back Shortly
Thank you to everyone who purchased The Hot Yoga MasterClass during launch week for your wonderful faith and inspiration - and for some who were in early, your kind words when you received the package!
Just a quick note to say that while Manuals and DVDs wing their way around the world (to China, Japan, Israel, Mexico, Singapore, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia ... wow!), we’re taking stock and reconfiguring and will be back shortly.
In the meantime, keep your eye on this page as they’ll be a new free video later this week - and I know you going to love this one as it will make a difference in AND out of the studio!
Namaste

24 Hours Left, Webmaster Sacked, Everyone Gets Free US-Shipping
Hello again!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the sneak peek at this month’s VIP
MasterClass.
This is a little longer than usual, but as there is some
great news AND there is only 24 hours left in the launch of The
Hot Yoga MasterClass I thought you might want the latest news!
The Hot Yoga MasterClass packages have been shipping very
quickly - and here is some of the wonderful feedback I’ve
already had - thank you!
———————————
“Gabrielle,
I just received my Master Class order. I wanted to tell you
that I am more than impressed!! I have been teaching Bikram
yoga for 5 years. The Master Class will be a great resource.
I do value the Bikram training, I learned a lot about myself,
but I have learned to teach from teaching.
The strict dialogue used in most classes doesn’t touch on all
of the important information that you have included in your
book. I can’t wait to immerse myself in the Master Class. The
book is beautiful as well as informative. I’m also excited to
take the classes on the DVDs, I am in the process of building
my home studio. Thank you!!Namaste,
Synda”“LOVE the DVD!!!!!!!!
I think it’s great. Love your voice. Love the class type
atmosphere.”
“Hi Gabrielle!My package got here yesterday!!! I have just posted the
following message about it on the Video Fitness Forum ... I
think it will tell you how I feel:Thought you’d like to know that I ordered the Masterclass Book
& DVDs kit on Monday (11.3.08), and it got here yesterday -
Thursday! I thought it was going to ship from Australia, and
was prepared to wait a week or two for it to arrive, so imagine
my surprise when it showed up 3 days later! It was sent
Priority Mail from an address in Illinois!It’s my Christmas present, but I couldn’t wait, and opened it
the minute it got here! I can’t even begin to tell you how
beautiful the manual is. It surpasses everything I was
expecting and hoping for, and I’m thrilled with it! It’s truly
a work of art, with gorgeous full-color photography throughout.
The amount of information it contains is immense! It’s really
something that can’t be described - you have to see it for
yourself. And honestly, I’ve never seen anything like it.There is so much information, it will take me a very long time
to digest it all! It’s something I’ll be immersing myself in
every day for years to come! Really - it covers countless yoga-
related topics, and answers questions you’d never even think to
ask! I’m totally amazed.The DVDs are very unique, and different from any other DVD
I’ve ever seen. The AUDIO portion is Gabrielle teaching a live
class, but the VIDEO portion is not live action ... it’s
photographs that move like live action. If you want to see an
example of what I mean, click HERE, scroll down to the video,
and watch from the 2:00 minute mark to 4:00. That’s how the
DVDs are done. I like it!I had a friend (a fellow vidiot) view the clip, and she made a
brilliant observation that I hadn’t thought of: she said “I
just watched the video clip where you told me to watch – this
way they always show you exactly what they want to show you –
the perfect pose instruction!”She’s right, and although it’s definitely different from what
we’re used to, I think it offers a way to give more detailed
information than you could in a regular live action DVD
workout. You’d know what I mean if you saw what an entire
workout on one of her DVDs is like. I watched the 35-minute 1-
set class, and it’s great!Her instructing is so thorough, and the photos onscreen show
so many details, with tips and reminders shown for every
portion of every pose, along with modifications, too.One more update - Gabrielle has extended the special launch
price and free shipping offer to midnight Sunday Nov 9.Hope I haven’t sounded too much like an infomercial, but with
something like this, it’s hard for me to curb my enthusiasm! At
least I didn’t say “But WAIT! There’s MORE!”I cherish the Hot Yoga MasterClass, and thank you for it from
the bottom of my heart. You have given the yoga world a gift
for the ages!Sincerely,
Ronn”
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!
I just received my MasterClass package and have spent the past
3 hours pouring over the material.Gabrielle, you have covered every possible question that could
ever be asked. The pictures are beautiful and very self-
explanatory. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and
these pictures are worth a million.I haven’t watched the DVDs yet, but I’m sure they’ll live up
to my expectations.If anyone has a hesitation about buying MasterClass, don’t
even think twice. This the manual that Bikram forgot. So many
light bulbs went off in my head about certain postures. I
can’t wait to go to class to implement the variations.No, I am not on Gabrielle’s payroll, LOL. I have nothing to
gain from this except a better yoga practice.Keep up the great work Gabrielle (and Robert). The
MasterClass is masterful!Barb”
———————————
Thank you ... *blushing* ... I just wanted to make something
great that you would enjoy!
Now here’s the good news ...
FREE US-SHIPPING FOR ALL (and equivalent discount outside US)
Apparently we’ve actually made it HARDER for registered
HotYogaDoctor members to purchase than anyone else. Oops - that
is NOT right - I wanted just the opposite!
So I’ve sacked my webmaster hehe. But is he still my husband!
Some people have given great feedback and Robert has sorted
out anyone who has contacted us directly - but if you just got
frustrated and gave up, I’ve got an easier option for you.
We’d like to simplify things:
Start Over.
And as Ronn said on my behalf above, this is until Midnight
Nov 9 US-PST.
That’s LESS THAN 24 HOURS REMAINING!

I Answer Your Questions!
Hello again!
Here are some questions we have been answering this week about the launch of The Hot Yoga MasterClass™:
What EXACTLY am I paying for?
When you buy the Hot Yoga MasterClass™ you will receive a package which includes:
The Hot Yoga MasterClass 304 page manual, 2 DVDs, a poster and other bonuses as well as a 2 month FREE subscription to the VIP Membership System.
Why does my PayPal invoice say “$19.95 for each month” when you said it is free?
- The VIP Membership is FREE for 2 months when you purchase your package.
- You PAY NOTHING for the VIP Membership for 2 months.
- If you choose to stay a VIP Member there will be NO CHARGE until the 3rd month.
- The way it is described on the PayPal invoice is out of our hands.
- It does reflect what you will be charged per month if you continue your subscription.
There is absolutely NO OBLIGATION to stay a member for any amount of time. We believe we are offering great value. You can CANCEL at ANY TIME. Cancelation does not require any action from us – you are in complete control of the process.
Just to remind you here are the benefits of VIP Membership.
All VIPs receive all of the following for EVERY month of membership:
- A Monthly MasterClass, streamable or downloadable posture clinic. Each month is devoted to a different pose, and completely deconstructs it looking at detailed technique, mistakes and how to fix them as well as special practice tips.
- A Monthly Teleseminar towards the end of each month giving you time to apply your MasterClass lessons. These are live calls designed to follow on from and deepen what you learn in the MasterClass. These will be available for download.
- Access to all the Pose Gallery pictures (currently only 2 pictures are visible for registered members). As VIP members you will see up to 12 pics per pose.
- Access to the VIP Members’ Only Private Forum where you can ask questions which will be answered with priority over the public forum and where answers will include pictures or video where possible.
Can you please explain the offer of Free Shipping in the US? What about me, I don’t live in the US.
- To celebrate the launch of Hot Yoga MasterClass we are not only offering a great deal on the bundle of products and bonuses, we are giving you FREE SHIPPING if we are sending you your package within the US. That is worth $18.75.
- All customers from around the world ALSO get advantage of the same $18.75 reduction in the total payment.
Can you explain what I am seeing on the WorldPay and PayPal payment pages?
(If it were up to me, I’d have them re-designed!! LOL!)
When you pay for your package you will be taken to a screen where the final price is visible.
Just look for the FINAL payment price.
If you have used a coupon, the price you pay will show the full price minus the coupon value, but will also show the full undiscounted price (next to the product description) on the same page.
We know this may be causing confusion for some people and we cannot tamper with the WorldPay and PayPal payment systems. The main thing to look for is the final price and that the coupon discount has been applied.
Both these systems continue to describe the products with the full price even when your coupon is applied.
You will also see the product description which always shows the un-discounted price.
Only PayPal and WorldPay have the power to change the descriptions here!
If you don’t think it has worked, don’t worry and don’t stress. Just email us and we will fix it up for you, pronto.
Here are a couple of images that explain this (click to pop-up the larger image):
Finally some product questions:
What is going to happen after Friday November 7? NOW EXTENDED to Midnight Sunday Nov 9
Now that is a very good question. When the launch week officially ends, we will close the doors for a little while and do a stock count and see what is left.
When we come back online you will be able to order everything individually!
Launch week is your best chance to get the book, 2 DVDs, poster, including 2 months VIP membership plus bonuses for one amazing price.
Why am I doing this?
Because I am happy and proud to be sharing what I created over the last 2 years with you. I want to make a splash in its first week - I would love for you to be a part of that and reap the benefits.
Namaste
Gabrielle

New smaller video files as an alternative
Just a quick note to let you know I’ve made some smaller video files and added “audio-only” mp3 versions for anyone who had trouble viewing the bigger video files (ie on a slow or intermittent connection).
A tip for you if you are streaming the videos (big or small): Click “Play”, then once it starts trying to play, click “Pause”, then allow some time for the video to “load”. Then click “Play” again - you should find it much smoother!
I’ll make sure I’ll post smaller video alternatives AND audio mp3s for the upcoming videos we have planned (in the next couple of days!).
Here’s the link for the smaller files and downloads if you need it:

The Things We Do For Yoga!

If the player is not showing, click "Permalink" and you'll be able to play directly from the page.
We had such fun in the weeks of shooting that went into “The Hot Yoga MasterClass” that I thought you’d enjoy another brief look behind the scenes!
This one features some of the outdoor settings we used to capture the beautiful photos that adorn the first page of each pose chapter.
Watch how Lauren is “forced” to disrobe in a public place - and how we preserved her modesty 
There’s some funny “on the mat” blooper-style shots to finish it off too ...
Namaste

Your questions answered!
Gosh! I’ve had so many questions by email and on here .... so I’ve compiled a list of some of the more common ones so far.
Do let me know if you have a specific question you’d like to ask - or leave a comment at the end of this section!
I already have hot yoga books. How is this different to what is already available?
Hot Yoga MasterClass™ is a valuable resource that provides a COMPLETE breakdown of hot yoga poses into easy-to-read and easy-to-understand steps. But that’s not all. Every pose has a section called “Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them”. I’ve personally never seen this before –actually I wish I’d had this when I was starting out with hot yoga! You will easily be able to identify common mistakes with either text alone or text alongside clear photographic images.
Your mistakes are MUCH easier to fix if you know how they look and HOW to fix them. Hot Yoga MasterClass™ goes way beyond telling you what to do by describing how to do it. And if you aren’t doing it right then the instructions describe the correction.
I’ve done my utmost to guarantee that when you invest in The Hot Yoga MasterClass™ book and DVDs you’ll have an unparalleled hot yoga resource for learning every aspect of your practice.
The book is too big
This book is a beautiful spiral-bound large atlas-sized volume. This is all to your advantage and benefit. Not only are the photos large and easy to see even at a distance, so is the text.
You can read it at your leisure, easily apply the techniques trying them next to the open volume and even refer to it while you practice. The book doesn’t need to be weighed down with anything to stay open.
The layout of the book also makes it SIMPLE to interpret at a glance, whether you are looking at the ‘Techniques’ or the ‘Mistakes’ section. There are almost 750 full color photographs taken from different angles and show almost all aspects of all poses and many mistakes and corrections.
What will the Monthly MasterClass provide? Does it have anything new?
Believe it or not, you can always learn more, as I’ve discovered in my years of practice and teaching. Sometimes the tiniest discovery leads to some revolutionary improvements in my practice and that of my students. For those who want to extract every ounce of personal improvement, The Monthly MasterClass is designed to drill down further and deepen your practice.
It will provide you with even more practical aspects of your practice particularly when it comes to recognizing and diagnosing your mistakes. You will have access to hundreds and hundreds more photos (yes really!) to really hone in on issues that real students like you face every class.
What does VIP membership give me?
A VIP Membership gives you ‘Members Only’ information that is unavailable to non-VIP members.
You will either have VIP membership because you bought the Hot Yoga MasterClass™ book and DVD launch package and received 2 months free access as an “Early Bird Member Bonus” (more soon ….), or you have purchased a monthly subscription.
Here’s what the VIP membership provides you:
1. Access to each month’s Monthly MasterClass, focusing on one specific pose and with an online, visual “posture clinic”, giving you finer distinctions and helping personalize the changes to your practice.
2. A Monthly Teleseminar or conference call. You can submit your questions about the latest Monthly MasterClass or other topical issues that are covered in each class. The next best thing to personal coaching!
3. Monthly Teleseminar available as download if you cannot make the live event.
4. Access to ‘VIP Members Only’ parts of the website.
5. Access via the Forum to virtual one-on-one coaching offering specialized precise instruction. Our special Members’ Forum section is where you get more in depth answers and with photos in the answer where possible.
6. Members’ Forum questions are answered in priority to questions posted in the public Forum.
7. Whole Pose Gallery access beyond the first 2 photos. Our Pose Gallery is a dynamic creation that is growing with more and more features and information being added over time. While registered members on http://www.hotyogadoctor.com including the forum get access to the first 2 photos only, you will be able to see up to 12 photos in each category – and sometimes more.
8. Never-seen-before photos and precision techniques presented in the Forum or other VIP Members Only pages. These will not be found anywhere else (and are additional to the book or DVDs).
What do the Monthly Teleseminars offer?
The Monthly MasterClass is one component of VIP membership. Another part is a live Teleseminar. Designed to be delivered in the latter part of the month you will have had time to apply the techniques in the downloadable Monthly MasterClass and then join us for a live discussion of the pose in question and other topical issues as they arise.
You will have an opportunity to pose your questions directly to the Hot Yoga Doctor!
How much is it going to be and when can I get it?
To be honest we haven’t settled on the final price! We will have a special price for registered members which won’t be the public price - although I have had experts tell me that the book and double DVD launch package should be selling in excess of $300 I can tell you it will be cheaper than that!
I’ll let you know as soon as we land on the final price – but rest assured, you’ll advance a lot more with The Hot Yoga MasterClass than in 20 yoga classes – and I’ll be guaranteeing that!
As for the launch date? Stay tuned because we’re expecting that to be in the next week or so – some finishing touches are being put to the site behind the scenes and also I’m super-excited putting together a list of really neat and valuable bonuses.
Not long now …
Namaste
Gabrielle

What goes into a Hot Yoga MasterClass?
Click below to play or download!
If the player is not showing, click "Permalink" and you'll be able to play directly from the page.
I thought you’d enjoy this look “behind the scenes”!
(Tip for watching the video - click “play” then “pause”, let it load first, then it will stream without any jerkiness.)
Though it doesn’t recount the days and weeks of effort; the thousands of photos taken and the incredible enthusiasm and effort from students and friends, I think it does show the lengths we went to to make something uniquely useful.
We’ll shortly be releasing the brand new photo pose gallery right here (you’ll know about it first of course!), as well as some pretty exciting new things where these photos are just one part of what I’m creating for you ... but in the meantime, have some fun watching *some* of how we did it ...
(Of course there is a lot more of the story yet to tell :D)
Checkout in the video how many cameras we used - the monitor setup - the careful color-coding of the gorgeous Lorna Jane outfits ...
If you look carefully you’ll also see me instructing our models (who are everyday yoga students by the way) how to demonstrate the WRONG way to do something.
There are a few bloopers in there - and you’ll see that it’s not always possible to hold a pose long enough to take a photo!
Thanks to all who have helped over the last year - Rachael, Jess, Sumi, Lauren, Scott and our incredibly patient photographer Greg and our talented makeup artist Marina (yes I know, yoga and makeup, not normally recommended, but we just had to look special for you!).
Hope you enjoy this - we had a lot of fun doing it.
Soon you’ll get to see some of the results when the new pose gallery is released.
Namaste
Gabrielle
PS. Please leave your comments - just click the link just below the video.
(Tip for watching the video - click “play” then “pause”, let it load first, then it will stream without any jerkiness.)
UPDATE from Robert - sorry for this having issues playing this - I’ve changed a few settings and it should work smoothly now! (I was trying to get a decent quality movie for you to watch - let me know how it is now!).
Too many people watching at once and can’t get the video to play smoothly? Download it here!
