namaste yoga: exhalted warrior

[Guest guest]

hey! i finally did a video workout today that is worth posting

about.

dont get me wrong... i have been doing some exercise -- the usual

60 min walk each day, and using gilad's 'express workouts' dvds a

couple of times a week. but today i finally said 'to he!! with

it' and allowed myself to have the whole morning to exercise and

then to relax.

so, first the hour of walking -- what a beautiful morning! i

was overdressed :/ but id rather be sweating than shivering. i

put some new tunes on my zen stone, and that always makes me

excited about getting out and walking. the walk today was fun

and a prime example of why of do it so much.

next was gilad's express workouts... however instead of just

doing one 10 min (or less) segment, i did four!!

core, compound strength, isometrics and balancing, kickboxing was

done, and i rather enjoyed the workout

i think that i will do one more rotation through the workouts on

these dvds and finally move onto something else.

next was a segment of 'namaste yoga', a beautiful canadian tv

production shot in high definition. if you have never seen

'namaste', then you must! it is quite a visual treat... very

high production values. besides canadian tv, it shows on fit-tv

in the usa. also, there are some various dvd packages available

retail and at www.namaste.tv

the yoga itself is hatha vinyasa... a pleasant flowing practice.

today's segment was 'exhalted warrior' which was done

standing. this segment started with an active warmup which

flowed very quickly, and i was worried that the whole practice

was going to be hard to follow. but the next 12 min warrior

sequence was wonderful... not at all hard to follow and i liked

the flow of it (moving between various warrior and triangle

poses). the voice-over (done by instructor kate potter) was well

done, although a bit late at times which is always my complaint

about voice-overs. then there were some laying cooldown

stretches performed and a short corpse pose. the whole thing

was 25 mins long, at the experienced beginner/intermediate level

(NOT for absolute yoga newbies), and well worth doing.

im going to try hard to add namaste to my walking and gilad

workouts. it would be heaven it if i could come up with 2 hours

every day to do these workouts.

Hi Carolyn,

I've missed you! Your walk and workout today sounded great. Are there days when you have more time? Maybe a few days a week you can do all of this!

Take care,

Donna

awwww, ive missed you too donna!

yes i had a fun workout day yesterday... and yes, there are a few

days a week where i have more time than others, so i do try to

take personal time on those days and do a good workout, have a

long bath, read a book, etc. etc.

with the house reno though, i havent been taking my personal days

very often. it is almost done though... i have to prep a wall

and prime the trim, paint everything and then comes the big

furniture re-arrange. maybe 2 more weeks and i can be done with

the whole thing ::sigh::

Carolyn, I've just recently discovered Namaste, thanks to my wonderful

little public library. I have, indeed, done this workout! I thought the

same thing - oh, my, too fast! But it's a great workout, the way it

gradually builds on itself. Lovely production, too.

Sounds like you had a good week of workouts. Good job.
