I am designing a group fitness glass in the park and will definitely be using such a sequence in our routine!!! thank you so much

[karim.]

in the future, can you slow these down just a tad so it can be more relaxing? I just did a kickboxing workout and used this to cool down. I love yoga even though I'm not super flexible yet. great video! :)

Nice video just did it, it was a really nice routine.

Try Tara's video for back pain, it works wonders. But if your back is sore from yoga, I think it means you are doing it wrong. I'm a beginner too, but I'm doing Tara's videos for 3 or 4 months now, but my back isn't sore at all and it doesn't hurt. When it does, it's only from sitting too long and working with computer :)

I wouldn't call this a "cooldown" because the purpose of yoga and pilates is not to tone us but to relax us. So, I would call it a CONCLUSION. That's the perfect word to use.

its about doing what YOU can do, not everyone's fitness level is the same and she is naturally a skinny person. You don't have to be as flexible, as long as you try you gain the benefits.

[sharwarisalvi]

To everyone who says tara is skinny 1. she could be naturally skinny or not 2. she was an intense ballerina before she became a yoga instructor 3. she runs her own yoga studio and does intensive yoga so I thinks she is naturally skinny other wise she'd probably be ripped.

With this video I have to strain my neck to tell what you are doing so I recommend you saying what you are doing more clearly (and louder).

Enjoying the stretch? Quick move on. MOVE ON.

all very well if ur are her shape n weight - im guessing she is clinically underweight
However, the majority of the population in US & UK is overweight (this is the norm) & most wouldnt be able to put themselves in these positions eg knees wont go to chest if a big belly is there. I just wonder the fitness industry now out of touch with the general population?

[pineapplesontrees]

Actually my guess is that in a combination with her practice she also practices healthy eating habits, as in she has holistic health. Personally I think the fitness "industry" reflects what I look for. Never trust a skinny chef, and in my opinion never trust an out of shape fitness instructor. "Fitness" is not just exercise, it's also healthy mind and spirit. As in healthy body image before "weight loss" and also healthy eating.

[MrEurocat]

I agree - so why no instructors who reflect the real population?
Dont get me wrong - WE (as a population) shouldnt be as big as we are, but we are, so I think somehow the industry needs to reflect it

[ajem]

Is this on fast forward? She doesn't give you time to do it after she says it. She's already moving on to the next.

[princesssrah]

I wouldn't recommend these exercises to the obese, cardio cardio cardio!

[MrEurocat]

ps you cant say she is naturally a skinny person - u dont know that

[minihydra]

Maybe you are pushing yourself too hard? Cause Tara always says "don't push if you feel any pain". I know that I want at least to do the pose she's doing. But if I can't, I can't. Although I really want to push and it's causing me pain. Go figure :)

[leeguboss]

is it just me, or she does blink a lot :), u so cute

[MrEurocat]

LOL - Instructors are NOT experts - they are instructors ( I should know I am one) - yes they practice (or should - you get bad and good) but they aint experts.
You completely MISS my point - which is - IF THE INSTRUCTOR DOESNT LOOK LIKE THE POPULATION IT TEACHING TO, should the industry change to reflect this? DOH!
