Guest guest Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 , I am glad you have been posting about this instructor. I bought Pursuit of Happy Hips. I love this DVD. It's absolutely beautiful. There was so much I loved about this yoga DVD that I don't know where to start. But first... Today I did Cathe's M.I.S. I haven't done this one in many years. I wanted a full body workout, so I did this instead of my scheduled Pyramid Upper Body. I used weights similar to the Pyramids. I will do this one again next weekend, but I'll heavy up a little. I also subbed on a couple of moves that are wrong for me. It worked out well. Subbed front raises instead of upright shoulder rowsSubbed standing two-handed French press instead of triceps dipsI completely subbed abs on MIS. While Cathe was knocking herself out doing crunch variations, I did a series of planks, side planks, table, and some Pyramid DVD style abs on the ball. I love prone roll outs (feet on swiss ball while in prone plank). As soon as she finished her rather cursory ending stretch, I started the Eion Finn's " All Downhill. " I loved standing pigeon pose. I hadn't done that one before. I'm grateful for my recent Yoga classes. I feel like I can get more out of my home yoga sessions now. I've noticed that yoga class is helping me with everything. When I'm cycling, I'm much more aware of my knee and hip positioning while pedaling. I also noticed I can lift heavier on static lunges. Some of it has to do with balance and alignment, but also with focus. There's more, but it's hard to explain. This workout made me so happy. It was yin and yang.Happy Workouts!...who is excited about Cathe's upcoming low impact series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
