Great Controlled Power - Reviewed on 2008-11-20
* * * * *

I am enjoying this DVD. It is great Power Yoga without quick movements. Instead you move into each pose and really get into each pose and what it is doing. Although it is not quick, you still feel the workout and power of the pose. I have taken some of the quicker moving power yoga courses, but had found them too fast moving when I started and really like the slower controlled power on this DVD.

It has helped improve my yoga practice, including being able to work into some of the faster power yoga practices I previouosly could not do, and if you are looking for something that is powerful but not quick, this is a good option. The instructor's really provides great guidance and I am now working through the Intermediate section, which is a very good workout so far.

This is an excellent dvd, don't get me wrong. However, I wouldn't go as far as to call it "Power" Yoga. Sure, it could be an introduction into power yoga, but if you're looking for a little bit quicker flow and a good yoga "workout" this might not be it. But, at the same time the dvd is excellent at explaining the postures and proper alignment of the postures. I also recommendTAMARA'S YOGA FUSION

This is a great yoga vid! It is packed with options for all levels. Clearly demonstrated and explained at a nice pace. Lots of floor work though, not for the weak wristed.

As others have noted this DVD is not a fast power yoga workout. It is a slower version in order to focus on really getting into poses and developing technique.

But though it is slower it is still a very good workout. There is a wide range of routines and poses with easier/shorter workouts and modified poses for beginners which increases in the intermediate section and is really extended in the challenging section - The beginning level has 8 routines ranging from 15 Minutes to 80 Minutes, the Intermediate level has 8 routines from 15 Minutes to an hour and 40 minutes, and the Challenging level has 8 routines from 15 Minutes to 2 Hours.

The model, Jason, has excellant form and the instructor, Barbara, is wonderful, her voice is soothing and the music is relaxing. Not the fanciest set, but it does not detract from the instruction.

If you are looking for a fast paced power yoga video this DVD is not for you. If you are looking for something different or are beginning and need to grow into good technique while developing strength, then by all means pick this DVD up. It is full of power in its own way.

Power Yoga for Every Body (With Over 20 Workouts for All Levels of Students)It was way toooo slow!!! I expected faster flow. I mean when they call it power: I thought, when does it begin to be power?!!
The instruction was very percise for beginners,(great)
When I see power in a title, I want power! I couldn't even watch all the way through the programs. I watch first, so I can preview before I do the dvd. Maybe title should say "slow power yoga."(no power added)
I will applaude the instruction part of it. Not a bad dvd, but definately not my fave, or what I expected.
