Element: Yoga For Weight Loss

A straight-forward yoga workout that emphasizes self-acceptance and body-awareness. The moves also integrate some traditional body-sculpting techniques designed to develop lean muscles.

Ashley Turner's flawless form and unhurried cuing seems just right. She explains the benefits of each pose while letting you know what you should be feeling at every moment. Her one-on-one instruction is non-technical and always supportive (e.g. “only bend as much as you can,” “okay, now give it a little more juice”). The moves are all yoga classics like sun salutation, warrior and boat pose. Quiet music and a pleasant garden setting.

A regular yoga practice is ideal for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. Filmed in a lush garden overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this dynamic yoga practice focuses on both the physical and mental factors that can affect weight. Physically it combines active vinyasa flow sequences with strengthening poses for optimal body conditioning. The vinyasa flows elevate the heart rate and burn calories while the strengthening poses build muscle and create a more toned, streamlined physique. Mentally this program will help develop the inner strength of self-acceptance, focus and gratitude thereby reducing stress and creating happiness from the inside out.
