The Athletic Yoga Workout

I loved this video! I was initially attracted
to this video because of the use of the T-Roller for spinal work. As a Physical Therapist, it was refreshing to see the elimination of incredibly inappropriate as well as contraindicated positions such as shoulder stances and the plow, just because they are part of a sequence. I have treated many Yoga instructors with bad necks and backs DUE to Yoga, and I feel like this is the first Yoga instructor I have watched that actually had a scientific
degree, understood the concept of eliminating injurous
forces and presented a solid and safe yoga workout...They are not all safe and I don't care if the Yoga is 3000 years old. If it hurts, I don't want to do it!
I was actually bummed that there was not
more of the T-roller work, since that
portion was really strong. All in all, great video and very challenging! Hope to see a another
video with more T roller work!
