Too nervous to sign up for a class at a gym full of yoginis? Lucky for you we tried out Yoga for Beginners with Desi Bartlett DVD so you can enjoy the benefits of yoga without leaving your living room.
 
The DVD has 2 workouts that you can do together for a total body and mind tune-up or split ’em up. There are also intros to basic moves, breathing practices and how to prep for and cool down from a yoga workout. Totally helpful for beginner babes.
 
When I brought the DVD home to try it out, my mom wanted to join me. She’d never tried yoga—the perfect tester! We decided on the energizing Solar workout, while the Lunar workout involves deeper, slower stretching.  We def felt the burn after just a few minutes and totally worked up a sweat.
 
Some of the moves were new to me and I def looked silly trying to twist my bod like a pretzel so I was super-happy to be doing it in my family room with the blinds closed. Some of the transitions were a li’l fast-paced but, overall, it was a great and quick workout for yoga beginners!

The DVD is available August 26.
