Tantric Toning Workout with Stephanie de Phillipo (DVD, 2004)

I have never been one for exercise videos but this one changed my ideas about them a bit anyway. This is a great video - with a huge plus that it allows energy working and release using the Elements. The guided meditation at the end is pretty good too (although the chakra colors she uses might not be the same as everyone is used to). Beautifully done, and really gets your blood pumping. I wish she would make another one!

As I get older I appriciate these mellow, low impact, stress free workouts, and this one is a gem. The whole workout is on your feet...stocking or bare feet, and there is no equipment necessary. You do not need a lot of floor space to do it. The music is very soothing, and it goes well with the workout. The routine consists mainly of yoga-type poses and stretches. During the "fire" section there is a very mild aerobic routine, but nothing that will elevate your heart rate noticeably. This routine will probably NOT help you loose weight, but it does improve tone and flexibility. And it is enjoyable (if you like slower paced workouts). I use it in conjunction with my other, harder workouts as a warm-up or cool-down. It's also perfect for days I don't feel very energetic, or I feel too sore from harder workouts...kind-of an inbetweener.

Everyone should do trantric toning...feels good, energizes and keeps weight down! Thanks to Stephanie de Phillipo I am more energized at 61 than I've ever been! :-)
(fun to do and is not a workout)

Good work out video with low impact... Great if you have back problems or even knee problems..... The only thing about the video that I had a hard time with was trying not to laugh as she was talking during the workout.... You will have to buy it to understand what I mean.... But I would recomend this to anyone for a good workout...

I purchased this to give more variety to my routine and was especially interested in the bonus color meditation.
The work out is a combination of yoga, ballet and tai chi. It is done standing and is fairly dynamic. Overall, a good workout. I would consider it good for beginner/intermediate level.
The color meditation is relaxing and soothing, designed to balance your chakras. Stephanie has a great voice for it. The colors are not the commonly assigned ones to the 7 main chakras, but it is a great meditation.
I would recommend it to anyone seeking a good de-stressing workout.
