Krisna Khalsa takes the Shakti Sweat DVD Workout Challenge.
Are you fierce? Are you strong? Are you awakened? According to celebrity trainer and Buti Yoga founder Bizzie Gold, the quickest path to feeling fierce, strong, and awake is by making sure your workouts are all of these things. This is the inspiration for Bizzie Gold’s Shakti Sweat DVD series.
Combining tribal dance, plyometrics, and power yoga, this three-part series incorporates different workout techniques prized by health enthusiasts- including Gold’s own Spiral Structure Technique, which creates long, lean lines and maximum core strength through coordinated break work, pulsing movements, and toning exercises. The tribal beats set the pace for the muscle sculpting movements in this practice – and run the risk of inducing a trance-like-state.
If you’re in a time crunch, “I am Fierce” will provide a full-bodied workout in just 45-minutes. My personal favorite Shakti Sweat program is the 60-minute segment, “I am Strong,” since it cultivates the strength suggested by the title. After completing the 75-minute workout “I am Awakened,” you may find yourself dripping sweat and stripped down to your undergarments; yet, it’s more than a physical workout, including powerful messages to empower the mind and the subtle body.
While Gold’s Transformation DVD is recommended for beginners, Shakti Sweat is appropriate for intermediate to advanced yogis and can be purchased online at Butiyoga.com. Sweat with Intention.
