Yoga Booty Ballet Pure & Simple Yoga

Gillian Marloth Clark, creator of Yoga Booty Ballet, takes her 15 years of yoga experience and channels the essence of her training and accomplishment into this 30-minute routine. Don't expect dancing or fancy choreography. Just classic, pure yoga poses that will recharge and reenergize you while slimming and toning your body. Many studies have demonstrated the varied benefits of this ancient discipline:

• Heart and lungs. The special breathing techniques used will increase your lung capacity. Yoga has been proven to help lower blood pressure, which can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.
  
• Strength. The routine will help strengthen all your major muscle groups, especially building the core strength so critical to a healthy body.
• Flexibility. These poses will gently and safely stretch your muscles—releasing the lactic acid that can cause soreness or fatigue—while helping you increase your range of motion.
• Mood. Yoga relaxes the mind as well as the body. The biochemical responses triggered by yoga have been shown to help lower stress, calm the mind, increase mental focus, and elevate mood.

features three levels of difficulty, so you can continue to challenge yourself as you work through the poses. It's the perfect way to unwind or de-stress at the beginning or end of your day, or add it to your regular workout routine to stretch out before or after your workout.
