Yoga Now: 50 Minute Accelerated Workout

I did this workout for the first time this morning and was thrilled that I purchased the Yoga Now set. The cueing is done voiceover by Mariel and Rodney, who are in the foreground. Three participants are in the class, including a beginner who demonstrates modifications and uses a strap and blocks. This video starts out in a supine position and core work is performed. Then you move to standing and do sun salutations, various poses such as warrior, side angle, and tree. What makes this workout different is that cardio is interspersed throughout by performing arm swings, small jumps (can be low impact), and leg movements which start out from lunge pose. I became tired after 40 minutes, and was happy to hear that it was time to sit down. The workout ends with a lovely savasana and seated meditation. I look forward to trying the rest of the workouts in this set.
