I like to save this workout for days when I'm feeling a little down and want a "pick me up" workout. It's probably the easiest of the YBB Live series, but despite the title the workout is still a little tougher than you might think. I like to pick up this workout when I'm feeling low on energy, and somehow it always tricks me into working a little harder than I might intend.

The workout starts with intention setting and then a kundalini exercise that Gillian and Teigh call polishing the aura - you move your hands up overhead and then down by your side to touch the floor, doing a breath of fire. They do this for a decent amount of time, and by the end I can feel my shoulders getting tired and the good effects of the movement.

After that, the warm-up transitions into some dynamic stretching and moves to loosen up the shoulders, feet, and core. Then, cardio!

I find the Light & Easy cardio to be the simplest and least imaginative of the YBB Lives, but it's still fun and a little goofy... step-touches with a lot of hip, little hand motions to go with the movement, and shimmying all make an appearance. Gillian and Teigh trade off cueing the moves and their banter and rapport make the cardio portion of this workout fly by. Everything is taught TIFT-style.

After cardio, the workout moves into a little standing ballet. There isn't nearly enough of this to build up any intensity (I wish there was more), but the moves make you feel graceful before you move to the floor for abs with a ball. Stretching and a closing mudra finish off the workout.

Instructor Comments:
Gillian and Teigh are fun, positive, and engaging instructors.
