Whether you're a beginning, intermediate, or advanced student of yoga, and whether you have 15 minutes or two hours for your yoga practice, you'll find a power yoga routine that fits your level and your schedule in Power Yoga for Every Body.

Benagh instructs this slow practice with careful attention to the details of breathing, movement, alignment, and transition. "Yoga is so much more than a workout--it cultivates your mind, it calms your nerves, it develops an internal awareness," says Benagh. To start out, watch the 15-minute interview with Benagh explaining the benefits of yoga, the Slow Flow technique, how to progress, and tips for incorporating yoga into a busy life. --Joan Price

I have all Barbara's yoga DVDs. Her style is very nice, she's a great teacher. Her yoga is accessible to everyone even if you suffer from health conditions. The DVDs offer a wide set of options so that you are able to fit your practice to your daily schedule. I highly recommend her DVDs. They are totally worth the investment.

I was hoping to have another great yoga video with this one but it really disappointed me. These are some of the things that bothered me:

1. The practice is done in a studio with a really ugly green wall and carpet. Maybe that is not so important for some but it was visually distracting to me with its ugliness!

2. Although this video boasts on having 25 routines but in actuality most of them contain the same sequences in different order or in different combinations.

3. Beginner and Intermediate practices are way too easy even for beginner yoga practitioners. In my opinion, the advance practice is the only level remotely challenging.

4. The practice doesn't flow nicely as sequences are very much segmented.

I have used this DVD once and it's been just sitting around. I totally regret of getting this DVD.

This has been a very good addition to my yoga practice with a thoughtful approach to developing strength and power. Though I have tried a few power type classes I found they moved a bit too quickly for me, though I enjoyed the concept.

Here is a slightly different approach where the flow is not as quick as a class, but is otherwise the same as classes I have taken, but still provides you with a workout to develop strength.

The routines are made of flowing routines that give you time to get into position and really feel the stretch. It is not too long, but slightly longer than classes I have taken and the slight extra time and focus has helped alot with some things I have not really been able to get the hang of before.
I love this video... a great way to slow down - Reviewed on 2009-02-27

I purchased this video and another that was fast paced at the same time. They compliment eachother perfectly.

I chose this one because the reviews said it was a slow work out. I LOVE it!! I was looking for a slow and relaxing workout to accompany my high speed life. I spend my days chasing after 4 young kids. I really was looking for something that would allow me to get into poses and then hold them. I wanted to challange my patience, strenth, durability, and balance. This video does all of that. An added bonus is that I have noticed my thighs, waist and arms becoming noticably thinner.

My oldest daughter has started doing this video with me. She enjoys getting the extra stretch in everyday too.

I think if you are looking for a SLOW relaxing, but still challenging workout this is a great video. For those of you looking for a highly intense, ever changing pose, or fast moving workout this may not be the right fit. This video is VERY SLOW, but is still intense in its own manner.
