Busy Mom Yoga: Core & More with Stacy McCarthy



Just what I needed!
I was wary about ordering this yoga DVD, partly because it was a new release without other reviews and partly because of the slighly cheesy 'busy mom yoga' title. I am so glad I took the leap of faith and this is becoming a regular part of my rotation! A little bit about my background--I began studying yoga asana when I was 14. Back in my early to mid 20's I had a fairly serious power/hot yoga practice and was hitting some advanced poses. Getting married, two years of miscarriages, having my now 2yr old son, and 8yrs in a full time desk job has translated into losing a lot of the energy, muscle tone and flexibility I once had (and finding about 10-15 extra, stubborn pounds along the way). I began making time for exercise this spring, but found running and Jillian Michaels (while effective) were just amping up my anxiety and I have been getting sick every few weeks. 5am is the only time I can reliably work out, and I struggle to find the motivation to take on an energetic workout...

Busy Mom Yoga, Stacy McCarthy
This video is perfect for my busy life when I need a little break in my day and don't have time to run to the gym or yoga studio. This Yoga DVD helps me maintain my strength and flexibility. Stacy makes it easy to follow with each practice and gives me alternative choices when I can't get those challenging postures. It's like having my own private teacher come to my home and encourages me each time. I love it.

Great DVD for working the core muscles!
I love that Stacy includes core muscles in this one. It''s a great practice for in between, when I have just enough time to take care of myself and well being. Besides that, Stacy has a soothing voice that keeps me inspired and focused every time. Love the music too. Great job!
