Gentle Yoga Plus Pilates DVD for Low Impact Abs, Core, Flexibility, Balance

The goal of this program is to combine elements of yoga and pilates in a way that complements and enhances the pairing of exercises and techniques, providing a more complete, balanced, total body core strength and stretch workout. Yoga Paired With Pilates Delivers A Comprehensive, Balanced Full Body Core Strength and Stretch Workout.

During the sessions, a gentle approach will be taken, ensuring no excess strain is placed on the joints (no downward facing dog or sun salutations, for example). However, participants may choose to advance the poses when appropriate if they would like to add more challenge at any time. On-screen pop ups for modification assistance will be available to help participants make the poses and postures work best for their body's needs.

Session #1: Standing Series (30 Minutes) features standing-only poses and exercises that help improve balance, functional core strength, total body stability and mobility. Session #2: Floor Flow (30 Minutes) features movements that are best performed on the floor for maximum benefit, allowing participants to stay down on the ground during the entire practice while working on developing deep core strength, control, and full body stretch and strength.

The equipment required is minimal - a mat or towel is all that is necessary. However, the use of a sturdy chair and a small, soft pillow may be added to bolster some of the poses, if desired. The approximate total run time for the program is 64 Minutes.

The standing series will focus on improving balance, functional core strength, total body stability and mobility through a variety of standing poses and exercises. Participants will work to enhance their control and coordination, while also building strength and flexibility throughout the entire body.

The floor flow segment will allow for the development of deep core strength, control, and full body stretch and strength. By performing the movements on the floor, participants will be able to fully engage their core muscles and work towards improving their overall physical well-being.

Throughout the program, the gentle approach will ensure that no excess strain is placed on the joints, making it accessible for practitioners of all levels. Participants are encouraged to modify the poses as needed and utilize the on-screen guidance to find the variations that work best for their individual needs.

By combining the principles of yoga and pilates, this program aims to provide a comprehensive, balanced workout that targets the entire body, improving strength, flexibility, and overall physical and mental well-being.
