Everyone I speak with feels fantastic after doing yoga. This great form of exercise stretches and strengthens your muscles simultaneously. Adding in the ball and band allows beginners and advanced students alike to explore yoga postures in a new way. I’ve incorporated the ball and band into my favorite yoga postures such as the Warrior, the Balancing Stick, the Mermaid, and more.
The exercises run in a flow sequence, and you can do the entire sequence as a 10-minute routine, holding each move for up to 1 minute. You can also deepen and hold each pose longer for added benefits—a great alternative when you have more than 10 minutes for your routine.
