PRODUCT REVIEW : YOGA DANCE FUSION

December 7, 2007

A beautiful uplifting program

Here is one of the most inspired, inspiring workouts I have seen. If you want to get your head into a peaceful and powerful place, I guarantee that this program will get you there. You will not remember feeling so good about yourself or anything else for a long time.

Look for it to feel really good

This DVD is a fusion or blend of yoga and dance. The movements and poses are easily recognizable from traditional yoga. The similarity ends there. The program really focuses on the beautiful and continuous flow from one position to the next that is found in all forms of dance. You never stop moving, but you move slowly and with awareness of each position.

Patricia Moreno's Yoga Dance Fusion DVD

The focus is primarily on striving to feel really good. You are reminded always to reach towards feeling grateful for what you are able to accomplish, and to lead with your heart. You are also reminded to keep a soft and contented facial expression since that will be communicated to Your Deeper Self.

A pleasure for all the senses

The music is lovely. Patricia Moreno’s voice and cueing are steady and assured. She is beautiful and looks very strong. And by the way, her makeup looks great, very less-is-more. This is makeup is at its best. She radiates superb health and the gratitude that leads to real happiness.

The video is filmed in a mountain setting, high above a curving river. You can feel the breeze and can convince yourself that you smell the fragrance of the trees and wildflowers.

The sun actually feels warm as you raise your arms towards it and allow its light and strength to revitalize you. As thankfulness flows out of you, so the power of the Earth and of your body flow in and through you.

Get connected to your deeper self

This workout sounds almost spiritual, doesn’t it? Actually, I don’t really enjoy yoga. I agree that, like Pilates, doing yoga makes you better at every other thing in your life. But I’ve never found a way to love doing it.

Listen. I’m not different from you. I strive every day to be who I want to be. There are a lot of days when I don’t succeed, not even close. I promise that this workout will take you closer. It will help you love yourself and love every day that you are given. It will connect you to your deepest self, instead of always skimming along the waves of what you have to get done that day.

Give a gift of one beautiful hour

The room you’re in becomes a mountain meadow. With the final gesture of thanks, you feel ‘flexible and soaring’, as my daughter described it. Whatever happens in this day, you can find that meadow again and remember how good it felt to be there.

Call Collage ( remember, we talked about this awesome place to buy workouts in this article). Buy one for every woman you know ( discount of $3 if you buy 4 or more). The program includes a 50min workout, a 30min express, and a 10min yoga stretch/relaxation bonus.

I cannot imagine giving a more thoughtful gift than this lovely hour of time.
