One More - Yoga Sculpt Practice

One_More.gif

Classics with a twist for this full body sequence! I give my (simplified) routine below, but feel free to move in your way.

Before beginning, think about your intention for practice - the reason you showed up, a phrase you can repeat when your body is saying “that’s enough.”

I challenge you to tell yourself “Do one more” every time your body wants to give up. Surprise yourself with how many “one more’s” you can do. :)

Disclaimers:
1. Some knowledge of a typical “yoga sculpt” class would be super helpful in understanding my notes below!
2. Listen to you body - if something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.
3. Meant to be done with light weights (3-8lbs)
4. This is meant to be a beat-driven workout - follow each song for pacing & let it push you!
