Progress - Yoga Sculpt Practice

Progress.gif

Spoiler alert - two cardio songs in this one! They’re short. 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 offer the idea of focusing on progress, instead of perfect. Each little thing you do during this workout, is a tiny step toward progress.

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!
