Yoga Time: Strengthen I

This is another of Marlon’s 25-minute yoga workouts, a format which I really like when I don’t have time to do a full-length workout. This is one part of her strengthening series (there is also a Strengthen II). It starts with a warm-up consisting of forward bends, goes into some pranayama, and then into core work. The workout mainly concentrates on the core, but it’s not very challenging for someone who is used to doing that type of thing, whether through Pilates or other yoga work. It’s basically beginner-level ab/core work, except there is a side arm balance which is pretty challenging. The yoga is intermediate, but the ab/core is beginner. Overall, I don’t feel really satisfied after the workout. I feel mildly stretched, but not worked out.
