good for body and soul
the videos are easy to follow, they helped my low back pain, gave me peace of mind to start my work day, didn't see any weight loss
one of the best
Simply one of the best complete yoga programs out there. It is tough and you will see results! If you can keep up and commit. Its is just a bit long, well over an hour. you will be totally workedOUT when you are done! Its great, the time limitation is the only reason I dont' use it as much as the others that I have.
Challenging Power Yoga Workout!
This is a challenging power yoga workout. Baron warms you up with a long standing forward bend. Then you jump right into a series of upward and downward facing dog poses which will quickly raise your heart rate and warm you right up. Later you move into some other challenging poses like the eagle pose, tree pose, camel, and crescent moon. Baron's cueing is very good. He walks you through the poses and always reminds you to only go as far as you can go. The only pose I could not do at all was the backward bend where you go all the way back and only have your hands and feet touching the floor. The workout ends with floorwork (but you still won't get a break until you reach the final relaxation pose). The cobra pose is included in this section to work your back, and a slow motion bicycle exercise works your obliques. This workout moves quickly. It requires a lot of balance, and you will feel your leg muscles working throughout the workout. Many of the poses incorporate lunges, squats, and balancing on one leg. I definitely think that this video will increase both your strength and your flexibility. This video was originally produced in 1998, and it does not have the highest production quality (the picture is not as crisp or clear as it could be). The only other minor detail that I did not like was the fact that everyone was wearing white, I prefer a little color or a more exciting background. Other than that I think this is a great workout for intermediate/advanced exercisers.
Kept falling Down
This is a good challenging workout, but a little fast-paced, and not always sufficienttly explained.The balancing series was a particular problem, and could have been slowed down to help explain the moves and improve your concentration.The students in the tape were also falling down. Not surprisingly from viewing his other tapes, he would use these episodes as an opportunity to touch them in areas generally considered a bit personal (which may be the reason that they all looked so tense). And, (although I know reviewers aren't supposed to get personal) does his really need that silly get-up he's wearing on his head? He could also drop the yogababble to make time for some practical information on beginner's modifications of the more difficult positions, so that people don't get hurt.
Very tough
First of all - thank you to the reviewer who wrote a review for Power yoga 3 - that's what made me finally buy this - once she didn't say it was blurred! To everyone out there who thinks these tapes are blurred and are bad quality - ie who read the same article I did on another site - yes, it's a Goodtime tape, but no, it's not blurred at all. The quality is just fine! Now - workout. Phew. this must be his toughest, it'/s definitely his longest. At just under 70 minutes it's longer than soul of strength at about 53 mins and Power and PRecision at about 63 including breathing exercises. 46 minutes standing poses followed by 18 minutes floor poses. Intense. After the usual sunsalutation A and B opener - which seems to go for ever - he goes on to warriors, side angles and so on - and intersperes sun salutes in between. It never lets up. Definitely more intense than Soul of Strength - also has some different asanas - like sideways stretch, lots of standing backbends, a tiptoes pose I found quite challenging and so on. In a way i understand the reviewer on another website who said she prefers his newer series - He is smoother, in a good way - his whole attitude is more relaxed, more philosophical perhaps - the music is MUCH better - and even though his new series is tough, the feel is more relaxed - overall (plus I love those lunge prayer twists which are not in this video). Although that sounds wierd, because it is a tough tape. However this is fabulous to alternate with - for days with more stamina - and is more challenging, and a satisfaction when you finish!
