Power Sculpt & Tone

Year Released: 2011

Categories: Athletic Stretch , Yoga


I did Tonya Larson's Power Stretch and Sculpt. Its about 45min of yoga type stretching with a Sun Sal thrown in for good measure. The warmup starts with cat/cow and childs pose then we move into the Sun Sals {chair, swan to fold, half fold, plank, cobra, dog, many repeats}. After several of these we did warrior, triangle, counter stretch, repeat other side. Them we moved into Deep Stretch {my favorite}, pigeon, forward folds, spinal twists. Then a few Core moves. Then I thought we were done, we moved to our backs and relaxed but then Tonya had us stretch our legs, another spinal twist, hamstrings, quads, runner's lunge. There is soft Christian music playing in the background some lyrics but mostly piano, with a nice clean set. I have to admit I don't like workouts with a slow warmup, I'm a little impaient to get started already!, but I feel relaxed and calm when I actually finish them, however I think I'll skip straight to the Deep Stretch in the future.

Instructor Comments:
Tonya and another exerciser are demostrating the moves, there are only a few form pointers or modifications, both exercisers show almost the same routine.
