MTV Yoga description Host Lori Trespicio is from The Real World. Instructor Kristin McGee is also referred to as "choreographer." The setting is a New York hotspot, and a cool DJ supplies the music. These are not promising signs if you're seriously into yoga, but MTV Yoga is surprisingly good. Advertised as a "faster-paced, upbeat" alternative to standard yoga workouts, the practice is actually quite traditional, based on the "vinyasa" (i.e., flowing series of poses) style. Beginning with several sun salutations, which are among the most vigorous sets of poses in yoga, it includes a variety of standing positions, lunges, twists, backbends, and so on. McGee knows her stuff, especially when it comes to breath instruction, the focus of any good practice; she also breaks down several of the more difficult asanas following the main 40-minute practice. The only real flaw is that not nearly enough time is allotted for warmup, but experienced yogis could do far worse than MTV Yoga. --Sam Graham |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Moderate/fast paced westernized yoga w/fast tempo music to speed you up, NOT for true beginners |
| Rebecca did a great detailed review & did a great job of telling you the content of this workout.
To add my two cents: The room has beautiful architecture & wall coverings, Kristen has 2 girls & 1 guy demonstrating at different levels from seasoned beginner to intermediate/advanced. The music is cool, but it more energizes you, hurries you along if you have limited time before you have to be somewhere which is not relaxing or calming. She even does a fast power yoga pace of warrior 1, 2 & sun salutations 3x. Kristin has great form & body awareness & there's a hint of her true respect for the spiritual/body awareness of yoga, but this dvd is geared to more a workout/pilates/fitness session then spiritual. If you're looking for a mind/body connection, you won't find it here. She tells you when to breathe, but she seems to race through as if she was told to get it done as fast as possible w/o it being a power yoga dvd. The moves felt great, but only because I've been doing yoga for 5 years could I still enjoy the moves & be aware of my own body & work with it instead of it just being a workout calorie burner, not enjoying the mind/body connection I get from Rodney Yee, Shiva Rea, Wai Lana, Seane Corn, Rainbeau Mars, Teigh McDonough. Yoga for Sex & The Firm's Power yoga even had more body awareness. This is NOT for newbies or beginners because of the lack of time for true instruction to avoid injury. If you're looking for yoga only for fitness w/o body awareness, this is for you or if want something that helps keep you aware of your limited time before you have to run out, if want calmness, body awareness, check out the others listed above. |
