Yoga Booty Ballet Advanced

Teigh McDonough, Gillian Marloth
Year Released: 2004

Categories: Floor Aerobics/Hi-Lo/Dance


My background: I am advanced in cardio, low-advanced in weights, and high-intermediate in yoga (favorites are Cathe, Christi, FIRM, TLP, Eoin Finn). I try to vary exercise intensity so that I include both high-intensity and lower-intensity workouts in my routine.

I love, love, love this workout! It's everything I liked best about the YBB Basic workout, but longer and with even more good stuff added. I totally agree with the review Christine wrote. YBB Advanced is fun, unusual low-impact cardio, a great ballet-inspired section, and a nice yoga stretch with great hip openers at the end. The modern-dancy cardio can be as easy or intense as you make it. When I really put myself into the moves, I can work up quite a sweat.

As with YBB Basic, I think to enjoy this workout one needs to have a fairly high "woo-woo" tolerance and be comfortable with getting funky, releasing the "inner goddess" and letting one's inner "bad kitty" out to play. :)

Instructor Comments:
Gillian and Teigh seem like the stereotypical new-agey, California-type, woo-woo instructors, which is okay with me, since I'm a California type myself. ;)
