Yoga

Post by morph »

I used to go to yoga classes (ashtanga), but have given them up now I've got my horse!

Anybody know of a good yoga dvd I could buy? - I need to maintain and improve my suppleness and core strength for riding, but not sure what to buy. I want to be able to do a 30 min and 60 min session depending on time

No help,
But Spencer and I go to Pilates twice a week. Brilliant. Don't ever think it is a gentle exercise, we really do some cardio vasucular as well now.

ashtanga yoga is just like that - you're definitely sweating after all those sun salutations and upward/downward facing dogs!!

I bought a yoga for beginners dvd from a charity shop but I didn't like it. I prefer going to classes. Would you like my dvd? It's that sun worshippy type with down dog etc. Not a bad dvd but I got bored on my own.

I agree with misty, riding is great fun, my thigh muscles are rock solid but it does nothing for my belly :shock: I need more core tone too (f+ . Must do more belly dancing on my own , as teacher isnt running classes at the moment confused>

I have this one and it is great - it has short versions of the Ashtanga series in 15, 30 and 45 min format that work all the main bits.

Ashtanga Yoga Short Forms DVD - David Swenson

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ashtanga-Yoga-S ... 703&sr=1-2

Link is for Amazon but i am sure you can get it cheaper elsewhere
