Yo-Wei

Jolene Puffer
Year Released: 2005

Categories: Yoga


I "heard" about this workout in the forum reading through old threads by people looking for workouts to use with Karen Voight's Green Genie balls or Leslie Sansone's blue walking weights. While I don't normally have an interest in yoga, I like working with toning balls. Since Denise R. has already provided a thorough review of the workout with a good breakdown, I will just give my impressions.

You don't need to be familiar with yoga terms to follow along (which is good because I am not). She doesn't mirror cue (which would be a deal breaker for me if this was cardio/choreo), but here I just always use opposite of whatever she says in order to be lined up with what she is doing on screen. Jolene has a lively personality, which is evident despite the voiceover (this is the only voiceover workout I have ever kept). The production values (lighting & camera angles & backdrop) are very well done. I don't know that the workout would appeal to yoga traditionalists or advanced exercisers, but as a low intermediate exerciser just dabbling in yoga postures, I found it very enjoyable. I hope that Jolene will make more DVDs.
