Yoga Booty Ballet

Plies and Pop Music

The Yoga Booty Ballet program was created by Gillian Marloth and Teigh McDonough in 1998. Marloth is a fitness instructor and former competitive ice skater who feels the program helps people express themselves while getting into shape. McDonough is a professional dancer and personal trainer who believes in helping people "free their funky inner ballerina!"

In the beginning, Yoga Booty Ballet classes were only taught at Swerve in Los Angeles. However, the popularity of the program led to the development of a teacher training class. Now, YBB fans who complete this course can become certified to teach their own classes anywhere in the United States.

In addition to the formal classes, Marloth and McDonough have created instructional DVDs to bring Yoga Booty Ballet to people from across the country. Now, Yoga Booty Ballet DVDs are one of the most popular infomercial products in the United States.

The Yoga Booty Ballet System

No previous knowledge of yoga is needed for you to enjoy the YBB workout. If you listen and follow along, you’ll be dancing in no time at all!

The Yoga Booty Ballet system has three main components;

• The Rehearsal & Guided Meditation. In this 14-minute section, you learn the signature YBB moves and go through a series of simple meditations and yoga poses.
• Total Toning Basics. This total body workout combines ballet, modern dance, yoga, strengthening exercises, and abdominal work into 45 minutes of exhilaration.
• Advanced Fat Burning. Once you’ve mastered the first two steps, you can take your workout to the next level with the advanced moves in this 60-minute section.

If you purchase the YBB system from the infomercial, you’ll also receive a special “dancer’s diet” meal plan and a squishy ball to add resistance during the program’s ab and thigh exercises

Is YBB Right for Me?

If you’re thinking about trying the Yoga Booty Ballet workout, you may be wondering if the system will work for you. According to fans, YBB is a good choice if you agree with the following statements:

• I like to dance.
• I’m interested in a more active workout than what is offered in a traditional yoga practice.
• I want to lose weight while increasing muscle mass.
• I want to learn to feel better about how I look.
• Most of the workouts I’ve tried in the past have been too boring for me to stick with.

Of course, you should always consult with your doctor before beginning any exercise program. People with certain medical conditions should not use the Yoga Booty Ballet system.
