No it is actually much more. It is a combo of strength, stretching, and balancing in a very hot room. The room is heated to 105 degrees so you sweat a lot. It is quite intense. But since it is the same 26 poses over and over you really see yourself progress and feel how your body is doing each day. You can feel when you have eaten badly or been treating yourself badly because you see it in how you are feeling as you exercise. I don't know. I really enjoy it. It is both strenuous and balancing. And it is a real workout but in a way sort of meditative.
