Innovation at it's finest

So I'm an avid yogi. Yoga feeds my soul, and I continue my practice to attain 1) better fitness 2) greater meditation 3) to calm my mind and heart in the hectic chaos of life. But something I tried the other day truly blew my mind. And the amazing thing about it is that it's what I've already been doing, but with one small adjustment: weights. It's called Yoga Scuplt, I tried it out at the Corepower Studio on The Hill in Boulder, and it was one of the greatest workouts I have ever gotten. It's your same standard moves: downward facing dog, crescent lunge, warrior 2, plank position, upward facing dog, but all with weights in your hands, plus some moves I hadn't learned in your beginners Yoga 1.

Here's a proffesional synopsis:
