Pulse Yoga I Basic

Argie Ligeros Tang
Year Released: 2006

Categories: Yoga


This is another yoga with weights routine led by Argie Tang. I would describe it more as a fusion workout, yoga postures with several pulsing moves added throughout. Argie uses light weights (2-3 pounds) to bring some intensity into the postures. She is co-lead with Prisca Boris who shows modifications.

The setting is outdoors on a stone porch overlooking a golf course and the ocean. The music is awful generic.

I won't post the routine, as that has been done already.

PROS: Worked up some heat and felt some DOMS the next day. Routine started tough and kept going. Argie is very encouraging and detailed in her cueing. I like that Argie and Prisca have great rapport; they are not trying to outdo each other.

CONS: No mirror cueing, no chaptering, and lousy music. Plus, the sun salutation series went on FOREVER, which made me not last more than 30 minutes into the routine.

Although I can tell this would be an effective, tough Callanetics type workout, it was boring. I wouldn't do it. Maybe I'll like Pulse Yoga Express better.
