NEW YORK, N.Y. – Pick up your smartphone and begin a new journey to health, fitness, and a brand new lifestyle by tapping into the powerful yet easy-to-use Dive into Yoga app for iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch and Android.

Christine Martitz, internationally acclaimed yoga expert and teacher, has incorporated her very successful yoga instructional DVD (preview here: http://www.diveintoyoga.com/Dive_into_Yoga_DVD.html) into the Dive into Yoga App so anyone can immediately harvest the benefits of yoga with 26 high-quality videos of Christine demonstrating the postures plus a breathing exercise.

Rather than using still shots, as most yoga apps do, Martitz uses the power of video to demonstrate in real time the postures that will elevate you to the next level of mind, body and spirit to being about wellness, fitness and contentment with self.

Martitz, who began practicing yoga at an early age and has been practicing yoga for over 30 years. Multi-lingual yoga instructor of over 20 years Christine Martitz was first encouraged to incorporate her expertise into an instructional DVD by the late Helen Gurley Brown, highly acclaimed and beloved author, publisher and editor who gives the introduction to the DIVE INTO YOGA DVD.

The DVD was produced by 3 X Emmy Winner David Seeger who is the CEO of of Today Video Inc.

The Dive into Yoga App that resulted now can be found in the Apple Store for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Following an update the app was retooled for Android to expand its availability. The app for Android 2.1 and higher was updated in July 2013. The Dive into Yoga DVD and app is available at http://www.DiveIntoYoga.com or via

“The down to earth teaching style I use in the app will allow you to enhance your yoga practice,” says Martitz, “and get the feeling of a yoga vacation or retreat in the comfort of your own home and become a healthier you in the process.”

Martitz says the app is especially useful because it contains 26 poses in video format but has the ability to view just one clip so the user can study a particular pose. Playing all the clips will produce an amazing workout, and users also can customize their own yoga set by selecting clips and saving them to a set. The app is available in English and/or German language versions.

Martitz, who currently teaches in New York City, has taught yoga in English, German and Spanish throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America. This summer Christine is teaching again private and group yoga classes (every Saturday from 9:10 - 10:10 a.m. at Gurney's) in the Hamptons. In addition to having been the private yoga instructor for Helen Gurley Brown, Martitz provides yoga training to several other celebrities. She is also a scuba diver and has competed in three New York City Marathons.
