These are my two recent video purchases, and I did them over the weekend.
I will always be a beginner when it comes to yoga, so I always look for a title with "Beginner" or "Dummies"...;-)
I have Basic Yoga for Dummies, but I wanted something new, something that had a little flow to it. The instructor's name is Elena Brower, and I very much enjoyed this tape, she was very thorough in describing the poses.
Kickbox/Yoga fusion is from Patricia Moreno. When I first watched this one, I didn't think it would get my heart rate up to be an effective cardio workout.....WRONG!!! I was sweating buckets. There are no back kicks, side kicks, or roundhouse kicks in this tape, but what it lacks in the different types, it more than makes up for with the best teaching of footwork I have come across on any kickbox tape, I was actually able to get the moves on the first go around for the most part..some areas I still need to work at.
While this video is nowhere near KPC in terms of intensity, it will be added to my rotation for days when I want a good sweat without a ton of effort.
There is a yoga based warm up and cool down, not a stand alone yoga practice in and of itself.
Really enjoyed both of these.
