A.M. & P.M. Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss (2 pack) [VHS]

Amazon.com Instructor Suzanne Deason has come up with a set of practices to begin and end the day with a variety of lengthening and relaxing poses. However, the second half of the title is a bit of a misnomer. These routines are not fat-burning, strenuous exercises; rather, as Deason says, they will aid in one's "commitment to losing weight." What they will do is provide a gentle 23-minute wake-up with a series of slow, almost languid stretches: lunges, standing cat, slow-motion sit-ups, and torso twists. The evening portion is equally hypnotic, with a focus on relieving tightness and tension in the lower back, reducing overall stress, and aiding digestion. This is accomplished with 28 minutes of downward dog, seated twists, side bends, and a lot of emphasis on "quieting the mind." Deason demonstrates her poses alone in an appropriately gentle manner. Two blocks, a wedge, and a strap are recommended. --Kimberly Heinrichs Product Description These exciting 25-minute programs, developed by renowned instructor Suzanne Deason, bring mind and body together into pure fitness twice a day!
