Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Buns of Steel and yoga--now, there are two concepts not often seen in the same sentence. Fortunately, however, nightmare visions of some kind of Stone Cold Swami Schwarzenegger prove unfounded. Instructor Marguerite Baca is no yogi-come-lately. She clearly knows her stuff, which in this instance consists of a well-rounded, logically sequenced practice intended for intermediate users (with a few significantly more advanced postures as well). Included in the roughly 40-minute series are the "classical" sun salute (repeated several times), a flowing succession of standing poses such as Warrior 1 and 2, challenging backbends such as the bridge and the bow, a spinal twist, the butterfly (a hip opener), and the seated forward bend. Baca holds the poses long enough for them to be experienced fairly deeply (an essential aspect of any meaningful yoga practice), often following the more difficult asanas with periods of rest and appropriate counterposes--in short, the earmarks of a trained, experienced teacher. Whether your buns are made of steel or marshmallow, this tape is a pleasant surprise. --Kelly Welldon

5.0 out of 5 stars A yoga teacher who will recommend this video to students, January 13, 2000
By A Customer
I was surprised to see a reviewer in San Jose judge this tape so harshly. As a teacher, I sometimes see students who are doing yoga from a place of ego and this saddens me. Indeed some forms of yoga are more precise about alignment, while others just go with the flow. Ms. Baca gives modifications for all levels, covers all the major postures, breathwork,and gives a good relaxation at the end. I will recommend her tape to my own yoga students when they ask about a good all-around tape to do at home which covers levels up to intermediate. Even those of us who are advanced realize that it is always best to approach yoga with a beginners mind, and a compassionate one. Thank you Marguerite for sharing your wisdom and love with those of us who really love yoga.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful yoga video at any level!, January 29, 2000
By A Customer
This was my first yoga video and I thought it to be a wonderful one. I had never done yoga before, and I found it very instructional and easy to follow. Ms. Baca guides you easily through the correct breathing and postures, and I was able to quickly feel improvment in my flexibility, strength and stress management. I have since taken yoga classes and still find it to be a wonderful video that I still use. It's great for beginners, but it's not so "beginner-oriented" that you couldn't enjoy it on any level. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the very best Yoga videos, April 26, 1999
By A Customer
I first viewed Buns of Steele Yoga video two years ago and have been using it every since. MargueriteBaca is a very gifted teacher and the setting of the video is extraordinary I never get tired of using it. I highly recommend this video for all levels as Ms Baca leads you safely through the poses in a very non competitie and soothing manner.
