Yoga Band: An Exciting and Challenging New Yoga Workout »

Whether you love your current yoga regimen or you are completely new to yoga, YogaBand is a great way to maximize your yoga workout. YogaBand combines yoga poses with an exercise resistance band to increase the strengthening portions of a yoga workout. This new element keeps yoga exciting and challenging for those who are seeking to continue their journey through yoga.

YogaBand is a must for anyone looking to add tone and shape to their body, increase the mind/body connection, develop flexibility throughout the entire body and add challenge and variety to their workouts.

Fitness expert, personal trainer, and YogaFit certified instructor Wolfe has designed a workout for the individual who is familiar with many of the basic yoga poses but wants an additional challenge. Preceding the workout are several explanatory chapters on the importance of the body-mind connection in yoga, the use of elastic resistance bands (which can be purchased at most sporting goods stores), and proper breathing technique (essential to any yoga practice). Clearly explained through bulleted lists of instructions, the poses with the bands add resistance to strengthen the body beyond what a regular yoga session would accomplish. Wolfe touches on the relaxation portion, but her emphasis is on yoga's physical fitness aspects. Less experienced practitioners could perform these exercises, as there are modifications for those who are less flexible or who otherwise cannot do a pose as described. This might be a cost-effective addition to an existing yoga collection; however, for an introductory yoga book, try Erich Schiffmann's Yoga: The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness.
