Sara Ivanhoe's 20 Min Yoga Makeover - Sculpted Buns & Thighs
My favorite of the series....
Sara Ivanhoe leads you through this 20 minute practice focused on the lower body, which is the area that I need the most help in so I was glad to pick this one up. The setting is terrific, the ocean and mountains are behind Sara, very colorful. The music is soft and nothing special but it suits the practice fine.
The first part of the practice starts out standing, you will warm up with a variety of chair poses, each with a different arm position. Then you will move into a series consisting of triangle, half moon and warrior, followed by a series of temple and fan poses, again with different arm positions. Then you will move to the floor, starting with camel pose, then you will move into a lunge stretch later adding a twist. Then you will finish out with pigeon and a stretch for the outer hips before repeating the series on the other side, this time ending in cobblers pose. Finally Sara leads you through a mudra which completes the yoga practice.
I like this routine a lot, it's not very difficult but I find it refreshing and relaxing in a way, not sure if it will sculpt your buns and thighs but it will certainly stretch them out. Yes, it is short but these days I am finding it difficult to fit in yoga at all so I am grateful for these short yoga practices. Sara is my favorite yoga instructor, I seem to click with her style well, she is friendly, encouraging and non intimidating which I like. Highly recommended.Sara Ivanhoe's 20 Min Yoga Makeover - Sculpted Buns & Thighs
Awsome Video!
Can I just say that I love Sara Ivanhoe. She is a yoga-for-beginners genius!. I have never done yoga, yet her videos are so easy to learn and benefit from. I am already seeing improvement on my body and my progress toward being more flexible. I have done her videos virtually every day for the past month and love yoga now. It is true what they say about yoga. My food cravings have lessened, my dieting has gotten much easier, my stomache is almost flat, and my self esteem is much better. Great way to get into Yoga!Sara Ivanhoe's 20 Min Yoga Makeover - Sculpted Buns & Thighs
Explore, Balance and Celebrate - Intermediate Workout
Sara Ivanhoe's routines are a pure joy to follow and this one is perfect in combination with the 20-minute weight loss routine. The first routine warms you up and this one pushes you just that little bit further so you get the best workout possible. She teaches everyone from Hollywood stars to normal people like me who don't want to go to the gym and prefer working out at home.
This creative routine will sculpt buns and thighs and also cleanse your soul. By focusing on breathing, you nurture every cell in your body. If you have been working out for quite a few years, some of the exercises in this routine can help you figure out if you are intermediate or advanced.
While beginners will still enjoy most of the exercises, intermediate students will enjoy knowing if they can do a back bend (you are kneeling and you lean backwards) and touch their ankles or if they are still working on flexibility. I can tell you that for the last few years I've been trying to touch my ankles and tonight I actually did. It is definitely worth working towards and boosts your self-esteem substantially. There was just this sense of joy when I could finally touch both ankles. All those hundreds of hours of practice suddenly seem worth the effort!
Mountain, Chair and Triangle pose are included as is a Temple Pose with three lovely variations. There are also some excellent outer hip stretches in this 20-minute routine.
What I love most about this DVD is the aesthetically pleasing environment and the highly creative exercises. The mood of Sara's workouts encourages my full participation and I find them especially enjoyable. Do two of her workouts and then go take a long bath with sea salts and essential oils. Life becomes art...

Awesome Quik Yoga Workout
I am so excited about Sara's 20 Min.Yoga Makeovers! I own all 5 and use them everyday! I feel that I get a super workout and really enjoy her enthusiasm. She does an excellent job explaining poses and reminds you of your breathing! Because it is such a well-rounded, quick program, I know I can get through it even before I start. This is what keeps me popping in the dvd each morning and evening. The yoga poses are manageable for even the very beginner! I only wish I lived in Santa Monica where she teaches classes...good thing I have the tapes! :-)Sara Ivanhoe's 20 Min Yoga Makeover - Sculpted Buns & Thighs
not exactly what's advertised
Add me to the list of mildly dissatisfied customers for this product. I was shopping for a video to use to tone my thighs and, since I regularly practice yoga and am fond of yoga in general, I thought I would see what Sara Ivanhoe had to say. I thought she might have some suggestions for exercises or positions I don't usually do in my regular yoga practice. She didn't. If only these moves were necessary to create "sculpted buns and thighs," my buns and thighs would *already* be sculpted because I've been doing warrior poses and whatnot for years. At the same time that I got this video, I also got "Look Great Naked: Thighs," and so far I am far happier with that product than with Ivanhoe's video.
