Yoga Tune Up: Tension Tune Down Series “Hips and Buttocks”

I own the entire Tune Down Series, but if I were to purchase just one, it would probably be this one. (Although I prefer having them all!) That is because this is the area on me that needs the most work. The balls can touch areas that the foam roller just cannot get into. When my hips are feeling tight and sore, doing this CD always makes them feel better immediately. It truly is like getting a great (although sometimes painful) massage.

The only part of this that I don't love it the ITB work. It is too intense for me, and I think the foam roller is better for that. But when I need something to dig into my piriformis, SI joint and glutes, this is what I reach for.

I don't love working off of audio, since I am too used to the visuals. However, Jill does an excellent job of explaining what you should be doing. The little printout from the CD cover is helpful also. The one thing I've learned is to not worry too much about doing what she says perfectly anyway. I can usually tell if it is helping or not.

Instructor Comments:
I am truly thankful to have discovered Jill through Videofitness. I had been struggling for a while to find an instructor I really liked, so wasn't doing much yoga. Jill has made me enjoy it again, and I think she is an excellent instrutor.
