Summary: Exercise with Life !
Review: I have always been attracted to unconventional ways of doing things, including staying fit. JONEEBA is an eccentric and unique fitness workout that provides me with the mental and physical wellness I look for in an exercise regiment. The Joneeba workout has replaced my Yoga and Aerobic routines. If anyone is tired of the same old exercises, and are looking for a mind/body experience, I absolutely recommend this book. I've never had this much fun exercising!

Summary: Fun Fitness
Review: My adolescent daughter has been feeling awkward lately because of her changing body. I wanted to portray the right message about exercise; that it is about emotional as well as physical wellness and having fun, rather than shedding pounds and keeping trim. After looking for less destructive ways of helping my daughter feel good about her body, we found Joneeba! Joneeba is the most fun I have had in a long time, and I can do it with my daughter. We really get into it. The exercises and dances are easy to follow, because of the anatomic illustrations. As time went by, my daughter and I no longer needed to have the book right in front of us, we let the rhythm guide us to a wonderful and spiritual workout!

Summary: A Metamorphosis of Mind, Body and Soul!
Review: This book is written in a witty and eloquent way filled with many funny anecdotes. I have been dancing with Djoniba for two and a half years and I wholeheartedly believe in his program. The "Joneeba" work-out has changed my way of life in so many positive ways. It's therapeutic because it unifies and balances all five chakras...when you really listen to the drums your spirit soars on a higher level. There have been times when I actually feel like I'm flying not just dancing! There is a real sense of community among his students and everyone is extremely supportive, especially when it's time to dance solo in the circle. Sometimes, it can feel a bit intimidating to do your own thing in front of everyone, but Djoniba and his Djimbefolas(master drummers)are encouraging. The book is interesting because it provides a new way of approaching the work-out and the illustrations are quite attractive. I love the way I feel in class, I'm not a classically trained dancer but in Djoniba's class I feel like a beautiful dancer. My body just looks and feels great and my husband can't keep his hands off me! Combined with a healthy diet this work-out will shed inches off your body instantly, as well as boost your self-confidence. I highly recommend this book and work-out routine to anyone who is tired of battling the ten pound bulge. If you dance atleast three times a week...you'll be ready for a sexy thong by August. West African Dance is not just about losing weight...it's ceremonial, each movement has spiritual meaning. When a community get's together to celebrate life through dance and music many magical things occur.
