Core Fusion: Energy Flow Yoga DVD Print E-mail
This DVD is billed as an as "energetic, fast-paced practice” and an “intense total-body workout," and that certainly is an apt description of this 50-minute routine. Core Fusion is a unique combination of core conditioning, Pilates, the Lotte Berk Method, interval cardio training and yoga. Interval cardio training feels like the primary influence on this DVD, so this would be a perfect workout for someone who enjoys the pace and challenge of gym-style workouts.

If you come from a yoga background you may find the fast tempo dance music soundtrack, the reps of pushups and movement pulses, and the tone of the instruction to be a bit jarring. But this combination of different movement practices and techniques certainly makes this program interesting and challenging, and a unique and physically engaging workout DVD. The instructions are clear, modifications are shown, and the more complex movements are demonstrated on a model, but with the fast pace of the movements this practice will be best suited for those with previous experience in yoga. There are 6 sections of the DVD that can be practiced separately for shorter workouts: Energy Flow, Sun Salutation Part 1, Sun Salutation Part 2 (variations with standing poses), Chi Gong & Hip Opener Stretches, Core & Gluteal, Savasana & Stretches.

Yogic Wisdom
The challenge, and the opportunity, that Yoga presents to us is the possibility of breaking the conditioning cycle. We do this by becoming aware of the depth and pervasiveness of our patterns and, at the same time, by working to change them. And true transformation begins at the moment that we become aware of our actual condition.
