I did it!

topic posted Fri, May 9, 2008 - 8:33 AM by  Nicole
My friend and I have been doing Arriellah's yoga workout for several weeks and yesterday we finally made it through without stop to rest! All those damn downward-dog/plank/cobra poses are exhausting! Today, I did it again. :) I'm getting stronger! My upper body strength is something I've been wanting to work on for a long time. I'm so excited! Arriellah is my hero!

    Congrats, that workout kicks my ass, and the shoulder isolations drive me insane but I always feel better after doing it!

    Yay!! I love that DVD, I use it all the time! Did you do the whole video or just the yoga part? Ariellah's got some KICK ASS performances on it too!

      I do the yoga part almost every day. The rest of it is great, too. I do different parts of it all the time. And I love the performances. She just kills my shoulders, but I love her for it!

    Down Dog/Plank/Cobra is, for some unknown reason, just about my favorite "flow" in yoga. A teacher even commented on it once, that she could tell I really liked that motion. So I loooove Ariellah's yoga workout on that DVD! But the whole thing kicks your butt in a very pleasing way. I've had it since it came out, and it still challenges me. That's money well spent.

      I love it too...

      After a few cycles, you just know you get to that release point. It's the stress it work it oh if i just make it through the next rotation I can relax process...

      like running sprints or something. I don't know, it's all about the process to get to the end. =)

      I might have to pick it up though I don't own it but keep hearing such great things about it!
