Hello, my name is Tracy and I am a FIRM addict. I do FIRM workouts 4-5 days a week. I say this so that you, dear reader, can know that I am clearly biased toward FIRM-style workouts and I am not a dedicated/purist-type yoga person. This is yoga for exercise, not yoga for chakras, philosophy, or religion. That said. I LOVE this workout! It is the perfect workout for days when you are too sore, or too tired to do a full-on FIRM workout or if you want to add some lighter strength training to a cardio day. Kirsten's(the lead instructor in this workout)directions are clear and easy to follow even for those who have no yoga experience whatsoever. You don't have to know what a Downward Dog is because she'll get you there without confusion. The only equipment required for this workout is a sticky mat....no FIRM Fanny Lifters, Sculpting Sticks, or Boxes.
If you are looking for a true power yoga workout, this one isn't for you. If you want an acessible, easy-to-follow, lighter-weight (but still challenging) workout that gives uses gentle yoga strengthening and stretching....this is one you'll want. I finish this workout feeling pleasantly challenged physically, stretched, and peaceful. Highly recommended!
