Sara Ivanhoe's 20 Min Yoga Makeover - Sculpted Buns & Thighs [DVD]

Sara Ivanhoe leads you through this 20 minute practice focused on the lower body, which is the area that I need the most help in so I was glad to pick this one up. The setting is terrific, the ocean and mountains are behind Sara, very colorful. The music is soft and nothing special but it suits the practice fine.The first part of the practice starts out standing, you will warm up with a variety of chair poses, each with a different arm position. Then you will move into a series consisting of triangle, half moon and warrior, followed by a series of temple and fan poses, again with different arm positions. Then you will move to the floor, starting with camel pose, then you will move into a lunge stretch later adding a twist. Then you will finish out with pigeon and a stretch for the outer hips before repeating the series on the other side, this time ending in cobblers pose. Finally Sara leads you through a mudra which completes the yoga practice.I like this routine a lot, it's not very difficult but I find it refreshing and relaxing in a way, not sure if it will sculpt your buns and thighs but it will certainly stretch them out. Yes, it is short but these days I am finding it difficult to fit in yoga at all so I am grateful for these short yoga practices. Sara is my favorite yoga instructor, I seem to click with her style well, she is friendly, encouraging and non intimidating which I like. Highly recommended.

If you have Sara Ivanhoe's YOGA BODY MAKEOVER SERIES you don't need to get Sara Ivanhoe's YOGA MAKEOVER SCULPTED BUNS & THIGHS because it is already included in the YOGA BODY MAKEOVER SERIES except it is called Lower Body Power on the dvd.Don't make the mistake i did and bought both dvd's and later realized the redundancy.A SIDE NOTE:It can get really confusing buying exercise videos because they always come out with another version. And ive accidentally bought dvds I already owned because they might change the packaging and make me believe that its a new product.Other than that, sara ivanhoe is awesome. Wonderful teacher and down-to-earth. She is great! I'd highly recommend it.

One of our favorite videos for starting yoga when you don't have much time.

Not only is she beautiful to look at but she has the perfect voice for a yoga video. It is very relaxing and gives you a nice stretch. This video is defiantly not a cardio work out though, so if you're trying to lose weight this isnt the best choice.

This is actually the second time I've bought this DVD, the first one was lost in the move.Sara Ivanhoe is a great yoga instructor and her 20 minute yoga makeover series is a favorite of mine. I've had all 5 in the series for a number of years now and never get tired or annoyed by them. She has a very soothing voice and the poses move quickly with easier options for beginners (or those with restricting injuries like me). I really feel a difference in my body and feel calmer than when I do heavy impact workouts--and really, its only 20 minutes :)I noticed on here that they now have all 5 available on one disk so make sure you don't double purchase them.

I liked this short workout, but I would agree with the others it's more of a stretching practice than anything else.I was disappointed in spending $14 and only getting a single 20-minute workout. I would rather spend a bit more and get several 20-minute workouts. This would be better priced around $9.Please check my other reviews on Amazon for great Yoga DVD's. Shiva Rea's new DVD is wonderful and well worth the extra money. I would recommend Sara Ivahoe's Candlelight Yoga over this one.

I like doing this dvd on the mornings before I go to work. It gives me a lift and gets my energy level up. Sara has a very calm and soothing voice. The twenty minutes just fly by.

great for squeezing in your yoga. And Sara is terrific.
