Ultimate Body: Yoga Fitness



AWESOME DVD
I have been practicing yoga for 6 years and am somewhere between the intermediate and advanced level. I love Bryan Kest (Power 1,2,3) and Mark Blanchard (Sedona Experience, Progressive Power Yoga, and his new set, True Power Yoga) because they kick my butt still to this day. I found the Yoga Fitness workout on Comcast Exercise TX one day and thought it looked challenging and fun. I am now ADDICTED to this workout. I had to have the DVD so ordered that as soon as it became available. Elise Gulan is adorable, you can't help but like the girl, her cueing is right on, the moves are challenging but feel terrific, and I could go on and on. I can't recommend this DVD enough - and I've done a LOT of yoga DVDs over the years.
Buy this DVD - you won't regret it.

Tough Workout - Easy to Follow !
Yoga...I've tried several different DVDs and always felt like I didn't "fit in". I'm a little high strung, and not up on the vocab., chants - well, I just felt akward.

I ordered Yoga Fitness after seeing Elise in the new Shape:20 min. makeover (some moves from this are also in the Shape DVD), then I ordered her ballet DVD...I just think she's the best! Very calming, right on with the cues, and all with a smile =)

On the DVD, there are 3 sections: Yoga Fitness Plus, Lower Body Yoga, Bonus Workouts. I did the Yoga Fitness Plus with Elise as the trainer. It is one challenging workout! Elise shows modifications for Level 1, 2 and for advanced Yogis. She describes the movements while demonstrating in an easy to understand way, throws in vocab for the non-yogi's to pick up on, and gives notice prior to movements in which you may fall...which I did, several times =)BALANCE is a big deal, and not so easy while holding the poses Elise puts you in. You will stretch...

Elise is a GREAT instructor!
I feel I can review this because I've done this workout on Fit TV several times. When I saw it available for sale on DVD I had to pre-order it. Now I've previewed the clip on Fit TV and aparently this DVD has several workouts included are.
Yoga Fitness Plus Elise Gulan
Lower Body Yoga Tom Morley
Bonus 15 minutes worth of extra workouts with other instructors
Now I've only done the Yoga Fitness Plus workout (my review will focus on that portion of this DVD) and I have to say that I truly enjoyed it. I normaly don't like yoga DVD's but I truly love Elise's cueing. It is amazing. I feel great everytime I do this workout, like all my worries have been stretched and blown away with every deep and relaxing breath. What I also love about this workout are the variations that she gives you with levels. You will feel your body working, your core, your legs, you really have to challenge yourself with this workout. This is by no means an easy workout if you do all the...
