Cher, as you know from our check-in, I've been raving about this set---you DO need it!!
The production value, cueing, and syncing of the music/breath is perfection just like in UY, although I did notice some volume issues with certain classes. I should mention that I never tried the Meditation or the Pranayama classes yet. Love Edge - that's the one I do when I want to work on my strength and endurance...it's awesome! And my favorites when just wanting a lovely practice are Even Flow or Gentle which are appropriately named. Twists and Backbends are favorites too. The Restore I can only do before bed or after a super hard workout since it uses pillows and all I want to do is sleep during it! There were a few classes I didn't really enjoy as much without modifications. Balance and Arms & Inversions among the top. They don't give you enough time to get into position of the poses to perfect them, so I just go at my own pace, as well as skipping the roll backs in Balance. Not sure what they're supposed to accomplish other than cranky knees and a tweaky back! I only did Mobility once since my wrists didn't like certain exercises. One exercise they instruct to turn your hands toward your legs while in table top position...my wrists don't like that! And I don't want to jinx my arthritic wrists while they're non-painful at the moment... Cybersparkle, I don't think Yoga30For30 classes are necessarily harder than UY, maybe a little easier (most of them), primarily b/c they're only 30 min. instead of 60 min. As with the Core - it's great but since the duration of exercises is shorter, I feel it may be a bit easier than UY's Hardcore. But this was a plus for me since being shorter, I could stick with it more consistently. HTH! Overall, Travis and Lauren did a fabulous job with this set! |
