Jessica Smith Yoga Stretch - Thoughts
Workout 1 is AM: Energizing Flow. This workout uses just a mat. Jessica takes you through a series of slow flowing moves from a variety of positions that work your balance and stretch you out. She also incorporate some static moves such as chair posture, the various warrior postures, modified boat pose, bridge pose, plank posture and downward dog.
You do hold the postures for a bit of time. There are a few exercises that have a rep effect because Jessica moves in and out of the pose. Jessica also incorporates some lying side hip raises. There are a few reps of these.
The workout concludes with standing meditation and awareness.
The music is pretty good. There was a nice variety of tunes. The set has an outdoor poolside setting.
Workout 2 is PM: Relaxing Flow. Along with a mat, the workout uses a throw pillow and a towel or yoga strap. Jessica slowly works through all parts of the body adding movement and stretching along the way. Standing, kneeling, and lying are all positions Jessica fits into this workout. Jessica shows different modifications for some of the stretches. You might start in one position and Jessica will tell you that you can stay there as she takes the stretch deeper.
The set is an outdoor setting. The music was more calm in this workout than the first. There is definitely a difference between Workout 1 and Workout 2 in terms of emphasis and tone, although both moved relatively slowly.
Some of the exercise in this workout are: arm circles, neck maneuvers, forward fold, hip and quad stretching, hamstring side stretching, inner thighs, wrist and fingers, cat cow, and child pose. This workout concludes with a lying meditation and awareness segment.
Energizing flow: 3 & 1/4 stars
