Bryan Kest, teacher of some of Southern California's most popular yoga classes, pulls out all the stops in this slightly shorter version of the challenging class he teaches in person. There are still all the gentle, firm admonitions to listen to your body, not to feel competitive with anyone else in how you do the pose (and as long as you heed them, you'll do fine). But Kest combines the classic warm-ups and longer-hold poses with a rapid succession of sun salutes, which will be gratifying to the advanced yoga student, but may make a first timer feel as though he dropped in to a Rockettes rehearsal by mistake. But if you keep at it, the tape is very easy to follow, and Kest's gentle, gruff voice is so soothing you find yourself relaxing even as you're pushing your body to its limits. And you can't ask for any more from a yoga tape than that. --Anne Hurley

5.0 out of 5 stars Good yoga workout., December 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga, Vol. 3 - Sweat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have been working out to both #2 and #3 and they are both great -- though I prefer #2 slightly. They both are challenging to the intermediate level person and I imagine they will continue to offer a challenge once I master the tapes. To me there seems to be only a very slight difference in level between number 2 and 3, so I use them interchangably. Each is a seriously good workout. My only negative comment is this: what the heck is up with all that cool guy posing he does at the beginning of the video? It's good for a laugh, but PLEASE! I recommend this video for people at the intermediate level who want a great total body workout. Kest is a good teacher and those 50 or so minutes fly right by.

4.0 out of 5 stars Athletic novice enjoying a serious challenge..., February 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga, Vol. 3 - Sweat [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As everybody said before, a true beginner might become discouraged. This tape is a REAL workout, makeing you feel pumped up afterwards rather than just stretched out. I particularly like the constent flow from one pose to the next.

Hahaha... Yes, he could cool it a bit with the shirt off, ripped 501s, hair down, "hands-on", but who cares, at least he didn't lull one to sleep.

I wanted a tape that made me SWEAT and was a CHALLENGE, THIS WAS BOTH.

I was reluctant to buy this because of a few negative comments about the people being too pretty/showy but I'm glad I did. Yes the students seem to be extremely flexible dancers and there is artistic lighting and filming, but I appreciated the effort. This video offers a dynamic flowing yoga session and conveys the feeling of being in a real class. The instructor is down to earth and sincere. As an intermediate student, I found it to be challenging yet doable. I would not recommend it for beginners, but I think intermediate students who like Ashtanga and Power Yoga will really like this tape.
