Certified instructor description: Classic yoga poses subtly intensified with Pilates and body-sculpting techniques. You get the flexibility benefits of yoga plus the firming benefits of muscle toning. Ellen begins each series with a basic yoga pose like cobra, down dog or warrior. Then she smoothly and naturally blends in the muscle toning (e.g. a warrior evolves into a lunge; a chair pose gets some pulses; a cobra becomes a plank). It’s all fast-paced and fluid with seamless transitions (and lots of relaxing between-move stretches). Ellen’s calm, thorough cuing makes it easy to follow. Quiet instrumental music. ©2008.

Ellen Barrett's Yogini Workout

aerobic
I'm not fully recovered from surgery. I am able to do yoga, but not yet this Yogini routine because it's just a bit too fast for me, I'm not able to to the cobra and I cannot jump. However, once I've fully recovered, this will be a nice little alternative to an aerobic routine. - posted by LeeAnn on 1/26/2012
Most exhausting workout ever
Even though I like Ellen Barrett and have bought quite a few of her videos, consider this a "sour grapes" review--"Sour grapes" because I really couldn't do a lot of the exercises in this program. Maybe that's why everything annoyed me--the same studio setting, the same exercise talent, even some of the same verbiage. Everything was intense and difficult, even the so-called "stretches," which, in an Ellen Barrett video, are just more hard exercises by another name. Maybe you'd like it if you like extremely challenging workouts. Not for me. - posted by Maggie on 1/4/2012
Ok
I think this is good for what it is, a yoga dvd with an emphasis on legs, bottom, and core. Ellen even lists these areas as target zones on the back cover, although doesn't list them in any other online descriptions. That's a disappointment and I was hoping for more total body toning. That being said, I really like Ellen as a trainer and will keep this in my rotation to use on lighter days and in between runs. She does target arms in a few poses, so that gives me something to feel like I'm getting a good overall workout. I also love her Skinny Sculpt dvd, if you're looking for a toning only workout. It's awesome! - posted by Jen on 12/30/2011
Love Love Love it!
I'm not very flexible, so I can't do a lot of other yoga videos. This one is my favorite! It reduces stress and makes me feel incredibly good afterward! I would recommend it to everyone who loves Ellen Barrett! It's tough enough to feel my muscles tightened after, but not tough enough that I want to quit. - posted by Ilona on 12/20/2011
One of Ellen's best
I love this workout and reach for it often. It is a great blend of yoga, pilates, and I guess calisthenics. I always feel so good when I do this--energized, relaxed, invigorated and stretched. What is not to like. Yogini is one of my "go to" workouts when I am not sure what I feel like doing. I have all of Ellen's Studio, Live and Crunch workouts and this is definitely one of my favorites. - posted by Phyllis on 12/2/2011
Worst Ellen Barrett workout EVER
I have all of Ellen's Studio Series and all her CRUNCH Pilates DVD's as well. I love all of them except the Yogini workout. It's a lot harder than her other DVD's and moves way too fast through some of the moves. I found this problematic to the point of being unsafe. I did this workout once and ended up with back spasms as a result, and unable to workout for several days afterwards. I would not recommend this workout to anyone who is significantly overweight, or has a bad back, bad knees, or wrist problems. This workout should be labeled advanced not intermediate. Unless you are in excellent physical shape, and an advanced exerciser, DO NOT attempt this workout. This being said, I'm looking forward to trying her new LIVE series. All of Ellen's other Studio workouts are AMAZING, and she is a really great instructor! If you want good yoga that's easy to learn and manage then try anything from YOGA ZONE. Great Yoga and great instructors. - posted by Kiesha on 11/22/2011
Slightly Repetitive
I like the instructors teaching style. She is clear and cues well in an easy going way. The exercises are good but I thought there was too much repetition on the exercises. I like a little more variety. That said, it was very effective since I was sore to two days after my first workout! - posted by Karen on 11/11/2011
smooth and efficent
I was looking for a yoga based workout that I could alternate with more intense workouts. This one fits the bill. To my surprise, I was sore after using it the first time and I work out every day. - posted by Janice on 8/7/2011
Great workout!!
Good mix to vary your weekly workout. - posted by Roxane RDoyle on 7/14/2011
Ellen Barrett maintains excellence in workout
This is a great workout. I wanted a yoga workout that wasn't as long as my one hour dvds, and I chose this one because I have several Ellen Barrett dvds and really like her style. As a 57-year-old who has exercised regularly for 20-plus years, I want a good routine that gets my blood pumping without harming my joints. This workout really gets you stretched, but it also gets the blood flowing, so it works as a gentle cardio as well. When done, I really felt I had worked all the important muscles. I like Ellen's new elegant Studio setting, and of course she's easy to follow. It makes me want to get some more of her dvds! - posted by Karin on 7/11/2011

Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
