I have not been active on my blog this March (due to some personal reasons in which I won’t share here), but a few new reviews are going to be in the works, as I mentioned in the title of this post. This will be a special DVD Review in honor of my (actual) very first workout video that I did when I was really …

10 Minute Solution: Pilates Review (from the tantricflowergal archive)

Year: 2004 Distributor: Anchor Bay Entertainment Instructor(s): Lara Hudson First of all, I wanted to get this DVD for sale at a Half Price Books location back in April 2024 along with the Turbo Jam: …
Tantric Toning: Connections – Elli’s Journal
Rosebud version (I have been using this app ever since December 2024) – There is a specific workout routine that reminds me a lot about my special interest, and the instructor doesn’t introduce herself by name. She introduces the program in a beautiful voice, and gives a reminder to “allow yourself to be, and you’ll move further than ever before.” It’s a very special workout …
A quick update for January 25, 2025 – 10 Minute Trainer edition
January has been a hard mom for me, as I am slowly easing back into my normal routine and taking care of myself- both physically and mentally. The first project of 2025 is a self-paced version of the 10 Minute Trainer program, which allows for a lot of flexibility depending on your schedule. Before I publish my full review, I’m going to develop a suitable …
A quick update for January 4 and January 12, 2025
The final part of my Yoga Booty Ballet review is coming soon! I promise this will be done as soon as possible before school starts. *(1/12/25) I still haven’t finished this due to the recent snowstorm (and life) happening, and I am attempting to give this YBB review a final rating.
Living Arts: The All Day Yoga Workout review (1st anniversary – special review)
introduction For about six months, I was looking for another Gaiam yoga DVD that will work in my DVD player. At first, I passed on this DVD when I wanted to buy this from another Goodwill store in Texas, but I noticed that the company was first called Living Arts in the late 90s and then used both the Gaiam and Living Arts branding in …
A quick update for December 27, 2024
The holiday season has been pretty busy, and I have been spending time with family and friends over the winter break. This month, I have been taking care of myself, both physically and mentally – but I haven’t had the time over the break to write any more reviews. With the beginning of 2025 on the horizon, it seems like I need to have some …
Yoga Booty Ballet Review: Part 3
Hello, dear reader! As promised, here is my third review in the Yoga Booty Ballet series. Today I will look into the Light & Easy and Latin Flavor workouts and give my own thoughts about them. Latin Flavor – First of all, I’m a bit skeptical about the title for this workout, because this might be the worst one out of the YBB Live DVDs …
Yoga Booty Ballet Review: Part 2
To begin my second review in the YBB series, all of the workouts in Yoga Booty Ballet Live are filmed with real students of all ages, fitness levels and body types from Swerve, located in Los Angeles. Many of the YBB classes led by Gillian and Teigh were taught here before it started to become popular with celebrities and citizens across America. Eventually, the program …
