NY Giants and Yankees yoga coach Gwen Lawrence instructs this intense and focused yoga program that includes three main routines filmed in a minimal setting. “Upper Body Blast” features moves such as “ragdoll” forward bend, chair pose, forward plank, and baby backbend, while “Lower Body Tone” incorporates strengthening figure eights, and an advanced crouch pose that Lawrence says is “one of my favorites to teach my athletes…but my athletes hate it!” The “Core Definition” segment serves up standing mountain and camel poses with twisting/lunge combos. Light on the chitchat while also providing tips for optimal alignment, balance, and breathing, the program also includes a bonus 10-minute “Express Toning” downloadable segment. Recommended. Aud: P.
