YogaSculpt with Karen Voight (Yoga Sculpt)

Get a strong, well- aligned body by using simple yoga postures to give you an added advantage while sculpting your body. You'll work several muscles at the same time, stretching one set of muscles while strengthening another. This doubles your results and cuts down on exercise time.

You will get 25 min. of standing postures to develop muscular strength, increase your range of motion and release tension around your joints.

You'll also get 20 minutes of matwork exercises designed to flatten your abdominals and condition your back safely and effectively.

Include YogaSculpt in your exercise program and you will see dynamic results in the shape of your body.

Synchronized, very programmed movements that integrate yoga, muscle toning and Pilates-style mat routines. Designed to sculpt the body from the “inside out,” you'll also improve flexibility and calm your mind. By linking the breath with the movements and the movements with the music, you'll reach a depth and intensity that really maximizes results.

Karen carefully engages several muscle groups at one time, so you're often strengthening one set as you stretch the other. Many of the poses are classic yoga, but Karen's non-mystical approach makes them easy to understand (e.g. “imagine a wall behind you …”). An IDEA Instructor of the Year, her gentle voice precisely matches this video's soothing music and tranquil set. A yoga “sticky mat” is suggested.

Yoga adapted for fitness and sports enthusiasts. 25 minutes of yoga postures to stretch and sculpt your entire body. 20 minutes of matwork to create a strong center with firm abs and a healthy back. “In this routine, you’ll engage several muscle groups at one time, often strengthening one set while stretching another.”

Maintain joint mobility and increase flexibility. Improve your posture to look leaner and longer. “You’ll feel good not only when you’re done, but while you’re doing it too!”

Uses a stick mat and optional yoga block.
