Yoga Sculpt is excellent yoga-strength fusion workout from Jessica Smith. She has another very similar one (Yoga Tone) that I also did this morning. I did them back to back for a 70 minute yoga-strength routine. These aren't cardio yoga workouts but your heart rate will be elevated and you will sweat--or at least I … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Yoga Sculpt

JessicaSmithTV: Relax & Restore
Relax & Restore is another gentle and restorative yoga/flexibility routine. Nothing aggressive but you can always go deeper into the stretches if you want to (and are able to). And it is a nice way to wind down and recover after a more strenuous workout or a week of challenging workouts. I did really like this … Continue reading JessicaSmithTV: Relax & Restore

Barlates: Lower Body Stretch
Linda Wooldridge has literally hundreds of workouts available for free on YouTube. Many of them have warms ups and stretches included in the workout, and many do not.

The Yoga Collective
I signed up for The Yoga Collective because Groupon offered a year streaming subscription. I can't even remember how much I paid for it anymore. I want to say $11.99. Plus I had some Groupon credit, so it cost me even less than that! Seemed like a value--a whole year of yoga for $12. So … Continue reading The Yoga Collective

This workout however is full of deep wonderful stretching and I loved it. Zero pain. She even uses a heavy dumbbell to increase the depth of some of the stretches. I did this workout after her … Continue reading Barlates: Weekend Recovery Stretch
