Bodysculpting meets yoga in this revolutionary workout from Ironman triathlete Anthony Carillo. Learn to combine yoga poses with upper-body work for super-fast results.

Add more power to your yoga routine! Developed by Anthony Carillo when he was training for the "super bowl" of triathlons, the Ironman World Championship, the Iron Yoga method has quickly become one of the hottest fitness routines on the East Coast, and Carillo's innovative approach has already been featured in Men's Journal, Yoga, Fitness, Men's Fitness, Elle, and on CNN.

Iron Yoga's novel full-body workout lets you reap the benefits of both yoga and weight training. While practicing over 25 of your favorite yoga asanas, you'll incorporate light to moderate dumbbells to work the arms, shoulders, chest, back, and core. Every exercise for the upper body is performed slowly in conjunction with the rhythmic flow of yoga breath, which provides a superior burn. Throughout the book, 125 photographs clearly demonstrate the proper form for each pose. The result is a body shaping, toning, and sculpting routine that increases lean muscle mass, fires up the metabolism, assists with weight management goals, increases flexibility and range of motion, sharpens concentration skills, and enhances proper breathing techniques--calming the body and reducing stress and tension.

Excellent Program

Recently, I started doing yoga with my wife and discovered a whole new dimension of fitness. My fitness objectives basically consist of weight control, muscle tone and staying as healthy as possible in order to do the other things I enjoy for as long as possible. This all boils down to eating less and moving more.

I'm only a novice, but this book and companion DVD have been a tremendous help. The book is best as reference tool when you want to explore details, background or study the pictures and descriptions. The DVD allows you to get started immediately.

Iron Yoga combines light weight training (2-5 lb dumbbells) with traditional Power Yoga poses to give you a full body workout. No argument here. It uses four types of poses: standing, seated, prone (face down), and supine (face up). The book illustrates all the poses with very good photos and explanations. One excellent aspect of both the book and DVD is that there are also examples of modified poses for beginners and intermediate experience levels. I found these especially helpful. Even with the 2 lb dumbbells, these poses are pretty tough, but well worth the effort. You can add weight as you become accustomed to a given weight level.

The book says that you benefit physically, mentally, and spiritually. I don't know about that, but I've decided to replace my exercise workouts with the Iron Yoga routines combined with a good walking program.

Superb Program that Combines Yoga Poses with Weight Training.

With plenty of photographs and explanations you can not go wrong while performing the Iron Yoga Workouts and Exercises / Poses.

I am really please to be able to train my arms, shoulders, chest, and back while doing Yoga. This is something you absolutely have to try if you already like Yoga. I enjoyed the book so much that I ended up also buying the Iron-Yoga's DVD.

If you want to experience an innovative body-shaping and toning routine this may be for you.

I Was Surprised and Pleased

As a yoga teacher I buy many videos to see what others are doing. I was pleasantly surprised to see and experience this video. It is done with mindfulness and is very effective. If it becomes too easy to do the tree, I have my students close their eyes; now when that becomes too easy I will have them use light weights. The speed in which this is done is to avoid injury and I thank the instructor for that.

No Three Star reviews, till now.

While researching Yoga + weight training, I came across this book/DVD, and I saw that it had no "three" star reviews. I figured it should have the complete set of possible reviews, now it does. :)
