If I had known how good this 60-minute yoga workout is, I wouldn’t have waited so long to try it. It is an Ashtanga-style workout, but highly modified – in a good way. Donna takes great liberties with the structure and sequencing of Ashtanga, putting her own spin on it, and it works well. It is not as challenging as “real” Ashtanga, but plenty challenging for most of us mortals. This is an intermediate/advanced workout, and you will need to be familiar with the postures. Donna does not instruct; she simply cues the postures and gives occasional form reminders. The “quietness” of the workout caught my attention. The music is soothing and Donna doesn’t talk at all except for the cueing. I really never noticed before how much chatter there is in other yoga workouts, and while it doesn’t bother me, I found the quietness of this one to be very, very nice. Grade A+.
