Cardio Yoga, Volume 1

A Vinyasa Yoga Class that Combines all the Benefits of Yoga with a Cardio Workout

By: Yoga 2 Hear

Narrated by: Sue Fuller

Cardio Yoga, Volume 1, uses flowing yoga vinyasa techniques to raise your heart rate to an aerobic level. It allows you to enjoy the combined benefits of a top-quality yoga practice and an aerobic training session in one easy to follow class. The class, which is suitable for those with previous yoga experience, is devised and instructed by Sue Fuller, a leading yoga teacher and the resident yoga expert for Natural Health magazine.

Cardio Yoga, Volume 1, begins with a gently flowing warm-up vinyasa and then continues with three more vinyasa sequences that gradually build in pace and intensity. These sequences contain postures such as Downward Facing Dog variations, Upward Facing Dog, Plank variations, Half Moon, Warrior 1, Warrior 2, Sun Warrior, and Plough.

The class then features a selection of strong static postures and a series of deep stretch postures before it concludes with a guided relaxation session. The clear instructions are combined with gentle background music that sets a mood perfect for yoga. A printable PDF guide book which highlights the instructions and provides photos of each posture accompanies the class.

Yoga2hear classes are practical and incredibly effective; they give you the freedom to enjoy yoga instruction of the highest quality again and again whenever and wherever you choose. Unlike a DVD, Yoga2hear audio yoga classes cause no visual distraction; they allow you to focus 100% on the clear expert tuition, your body, and your breathing. This more mindfull approach maximises the benefits you gain from each class.

Great for intermediate level practitioners

This is exactly what I was looking for, something challenging that I can follow easily. You have to know the names of the postures and have some experience with flow. Perfect for intermediate level students.

If I only I could figure out how to keep the ipod chord from getting caught under me from chataranga to up dog!

Slow, with 11 minutes of shavasana

Some good stuff. I was hoping for more. The last 11 mins are all shavasana, corpse pose. Not much cardio, really.
