They call Yoga Booty Ballet 'a dynamic fusion of yoga, body sculpt and dance'

Well, until you try it you won't know ....will you?

In any event I can tell you that it's a whole lot of fun. I got a huge amount of enjoyment out of it and a whole lot of laughs .... and isn't that part of the 'yoga experience' anyway .... that you enjoy what you do?

At least, I believe that you must enjoy 'your yoga experience' no matter what type or style of yoga you choose!

This form is not for those of you seeking the classical styles of yoga or those that want to glean insight into the yogic philosophy. And don't forget that's dependent on who teaches the yoga and what form it takes.

This style is more funky and something to free the inner ballerina within AND what's more loose weight while having fun!

The Yoga Booty Ballet team is part of the bigger BeachBody.com organization. But lets have a look at what they claim their form of 'yoga' is.

Now just remember, this isn't for everyone but for those that get their kicks out of a bit of funky movement then this may just be for you!

As I mentioned the 'workout', and I use this term specifically, because it's more like a dance workout than a 'yoga practice' through this melding of dance, body sculpting and yoga movements, will eventually make you stronger, aerobically fitter and by virtue that you're getting comfortable with your body, more confident and beautiful.

Isn't it true that when we're a bit overweight, we tend to shut ourselves away, not move, not dance, not really get up and do anything, because we're not comfortable with who we are.

Well, Yoga Booty Ballet lets you put your inhibitions behind you and gives you reason to get up and 'move your booty'.

The workouts are fun so if you do them regularly .... and with that I don't mean regularly, once a week, .... I mean regularly at least once a day, then you will not only loose weight but start to gain long lean muscles ... isn't that what every woman wants? ... well, I suppose I should speak for myself:

I want long lean muscles rather than the bulging kind

Now this very different kind of yoga was created by Gillian Marloth and Teigh McDonough, who are among the United States top fitness experts.

The way I see their motivation is that they ...'help women become the best they can be!"

They claim that if you try their program in the way they say you should, then you'll see a dramatic difference in your body in just 2 weeks! They even promise this!

So what is their Yoga Booty Ballet formula?

What it includes is three body sculpting, cardio and yoga workouts

The Beginner - called the Rehearsal and Guided Meditation has Gillian and Teigh covering their Yoga Booty Ballet signature moves and familiarizing you with the poses and meditation.

The Total Toning Basics - is a full body workout! It blends yoga, with modern dance, ballet and abdominal work. Great for strengthening and all levels of fitness can do this to bring them into shape and strength.

Advanced Fat Burning - as the name suggests, this is what they focus on! By lifting the intensity, it lifts the cardiovascular work out you get. You get more advanced yoga and more advanced dance and ballet moves. Trust me, to get some of those moves right ... you'll be really feeling like you've worked out ... and Oh Yes ... they work on meditation as well.

So I think it's a fabulous and fun way to work out and to tone and strengthen and still get a laugh and put a smile on your face.

Isn't this what life should be about? ... To have fun while you get into shape and feel good about yourself. It's a great life nurturing and empowering feeling!
