DVD Review: More suited for intermediates...
Summary: 4 Stars
Yoga Zone Yoga Sculpting is a 2-20 minute session program, one session focusing on upper body strength, the other lower body strength. Both sessions are led by Jen Monness, who is my favorite YZ instructor. The location as always is the Grand Lidos San Souci resort in Jamaica.
The first session is for upper body, Jen is assisted by Jean and the setting in on a beach which is quite nice. You start out with a pose called old dog which I have never seen before, it is basically a modified downward dog done on the knees. After that you will move into traditional downward dog then into plank pose. From there you will move into a side plank, starting on one knee and then straightening your legs if you choose, I was surprised at how challenging this was, my arm was shaking. Before repeating side plank on the other side you will do a downward facing dog, then you will move into chataranga which is repeated a few times before stretching in extended seal. Next is a chataranga variation where you will lifting and lowering one leg, then you will bring the knee in. This is repeated on the other side before moving into extended seal and cat stretch, then combining the two. Then you will stretch the back with a locust variation with the arms extended outward, then you will move into upward facing dog before moving into headstand prep which is followed by a combination of that and dolphin (plank done on elbows). Then you will move into table pose, which is my least favorite pose, and of course it is repeated several times with the option of extending one leg out then the other, I personally skip this. You will conclude this session with a well needed chest stretch before finishing out with side leans and a cross legged seat.
Session 2 focuses on lower body, Jen is joined by Suzanne this time who performs the poses nicely and is pretty flexible. You will start on your hands and knees extending your left leg behind you, flexing your foot, then bending knee and lifting it towards the sky. This is repeated on the other side then you will move into tricky cat, where one arm and the opposite leg is extended, which is done on both sides. Downward facing dog is next into forward bend, then chair pose, then forward bend again. Next my favorite pose returns, table pose again with the option of extending each leg out, this is done a few times therefore the pose is held for quite a while seems live eternity for me. After table you will stretch out in a forward bend, then move back on your elbows and knees extending one leg back then the other. Then you will stand for lunge pose, once in lunge you will lift and lower the knee, repeat other side, then you will do warrior 1 while lifting and lowering the heel, the repeat other side. Next is downward facing dog/three point pose, where you extend the leg backwards, then up. Suzanne demos this one nicely, then you repeat other side. To finish out you will move back to the floor for seal pose, then moving into a locust variation where you lift the chest, one leg then the other. Then you will do another seal pose before moving into bridge pose, again extending one leg out then the other before then resting pose.
Overall, I liked this program, aside from which seemed to be an overdose of table poses. I would say this is geared more towards intermediates, though some might disagree with me. Jen does a nice job as always, Jen also leads Yoga Zone's Strengthen and Tone, which is a program similar to this one which I like more, but it's also a bit easier than this one. While this isn't a favorite of mine, it is a solid effort by Yoga Zone.
