  • Outside dinner and drinks at Mediterraneo

Monday

  • Relaxing, napping and reading in Central Park for hours

I love New York City in the summer. It empties out and everything is just so fun and easy.

Aside from having to work and getting 10 mosquito bites and a sunburn only on my left shoulder, it was a perfect weekend.

YogaVibes Giveaway

A few weeks ago I was in my favorite Core Fusion Yoga class and the teacher Kayleigh mentioned that there is a Core Fusion Yoga class online — and that she is in the video! I was really confused as to what she was talking about. I ran to my BlackBerry to email myself the website she told me — YogaVibes.com.

One of the first things I did when I got to work was visit YogaVibes to see just what Kayleigh was talking about. And what I saw surprised me!

There were FOUR full length exhale classes! Click the links below to view a preview of each on YogaVibes:

What! How is this possible! I viewed previews of each class and started Tweeting to make sure everyone knew the good news — you can now experience “live,” full length Core Fusion classes even if you don’t have access to a studio. I am obsessed with Core Fusion and all other exhale spa offerings. The workouts are not boring, they’re kind of fun and they’re extremely effective. I could never stop doing this and go back to a regular gym membership again because the results I get from Core Fusion are just unreal.

A brief rundown of the class offerings on YogaVibes (links go to official descriptions):

Core Fusion:

A full body strength workout that combines Lotte Berk, ballet, yoga, pilates, interval cardio training. Tones, strengthens and stretches the entire body – arms, thighs, glutes, abs/core. I do this 3-4 times a week and it transformed my body! Read more here. This class is taught by Elisabeth Halfpapp, co-founder of Core Fusion.

Core Fusion Yoga:

The first half is like a vinyasa flow class set to awesome music, while the second half focuses on strengthening and toning with small, targeted movements. This class taught me to truly love yoga, and is a cardio workout in addition to a yoga and strengthening one. I leave sweating each time! This class is taught by Elisabeth Halfpapp, co-founder of Core Fusion.

Core Fusion Sport:

A cardio + toning class using a weighted ball (or hand weight if you don’t have one). Incorporates jump backs, pushups, planks and twisting movements. This class is taught by Fred DeVito, co-founder of Core Fusion.

Music Yoga Flow:

This is not a Core Fusion class but it is one of the most amazing yoga classes I have ever taken — and it is taught by one of the all time best Core Fusion teachers, Erin Jacques. Her taste in music is impeccable and she is as sweet as she is inspiring and motivating. The class is like a vinyasa flow. I am constantly impressed by her song choices and I’d love for her to give me some playlists one day. I encourage anyone who loves yoga or wants to get into yoga to try Music Yoga Flow!

Here’s how YogaVibes works:

  • You can pay $10 to have access to one class as often as you want for 14 days
  • You can pay $20 per month for unlimited access to 5 classes
  • You can pay $25 per month for all classes unlimited

A really great deal for what you are getting! And if you are a workout DVD fiend and/or don’t have a gym membership, this is a really fantastic price. And you can save 20% off any item from YogaVibes.com, including a month membership, with the following code:

Yes, it sounds dirty and yes, I kind of like it. But really, just type that code into the YogaVibes site for a great deal.
