Element: Yoga for Strength & Flexibility ~ The Review Stew

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Yoga is a great way to generate (overall) health, vitality, and joy in your life. If you are interested in trying yoga or are already a fan, check out the Element: Yoga for Strength & Flexibility DVD.

Filmed in a lush garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, these two complimentary programs are specially designed to build strength and flexibility in the body, mind, and spirit. The invigorating Strength practice offers total body conditioning with powerful sequences that tone all major muscle groups, build endurance, cultivate mental focus, and increase energy levels. The gentle Flexibility practice unravels tension patterns in both the body and the mind by linking the breath to simple flowing movements that provide a total body stretch, increase range of motion, enhance agility, help reduce risk of injury, and ease all forms of movement. Practice in the morning to stimulate circulation and start your day with calm clarity. Or, practice in the evening to unwind away the stress of the day and prepare for a rejuvenating sleep.

This is a slower paced workout that uses mostly traditional yoga poses performed in fluid, dynamic sequences (usually maximizing relaxation by linking the breath to the movement). Both workouts have lots of short, between-series stretches. The DVD also includes an 8-minute “bonus” meditation program.
