The Ultimate Yogi

Perfect for a yogi seeking challenge
This is a beautiful set that's perfect for the at-home yogi seeking a new challenge, or for any yoga student who wants to expand their practice (since most of us can't make it to class every day).

The practices are about an hour long (actually 56 to 72 minutes) every day, and three days a week you add on the 18-minute HardCore ab workout. Each practice has a different emphasis; most of them are flowing power yoga, but twice a week you slow down for a more meditative/restorative sequence. The 108-day program is broken into three 36-day phases, so essentially you change up your workouts once a month, P90X-style, which helps keep things interesting and challenging.

The instruction by Travis Eliot is top-notch. The settings, cinematography, and music (composed specially for these programs) are first-rate. The sequencing within each practice and across the whole week is well-designed so that you challenge all your muscle groups but have adequate time for recovery...

This can truly change your life
Is this a magic bullet? No. Will you become thin and beautiful? Maybe not, but you will feel wonderful inside. This 108 day program has truly changed my life.

I am an advanced and fit exerciser who has does heavy strength training and intense cardio. Because of a torn hip cartilage, I had to really modify my workouts. I was looking for something that would help me maintain my fitness level and the Ultimate Yogi seemed to be just the thing. Prior to this, I did yoga 1 to 2 days a week. I followed the 108 day program, while also incorporating some moderate weight training and cardio. I also followed the Common Sense Eating program.

I was a little nervous staring this program since I was concerned that my wrists would bother me when I did so much yoga. Well, after 108 days I'm happy to say I didn't have any issues. I think it's because each yoga routine is so different that you don't overdo any one pose.

The Ultimate Yogi with Travis Eliot is wonderful!
The Ultimate Yogi Program is a DVD set which includes 12 yoga classes. Most of which are power yoga, but some include pranayama (breath work), meditation, and more gentle yoga or yin type classes to increase flexibility, as well as the Mountain Pose series which I feel is a practice geared towards opening the shoulders and learning to "hear" your body.

The music in this series is great. It goes right along with every practice. Each practice is about 60 minutes long, except for the Mountain Pose Series, Meditation, and Pranayama which are around 15-30 minutes each. The program comes with a schedule to follow for all 108 days. Ideally, you want to practice 108 days in a row, but there are "built in" rest days where creator Travis Eliot has you do a Yin Yoga or Gentle Yoga day and there is a day every week where you do Mountain Pose Series. The first 36 days you do 10 minutes of meditation daily, the second 36 days 20 minutes, and finally 30 minutes daily. The guided...
