5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Workout, Ignore the cheap set, March 16, 2003

By	Kasey M. Moctezuma "parisgirl" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga, Intensive Body Sculpting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Having been a big fan of Brian Kest's 1995 series, I had been waiting for a new video. I admit that I did buy this video with some skepticism, and the first time that I did this video, I will admit that I initially felt disappointed. The set looks cheaper, and Kest does not refer to the poses by the Hindi names,and it seemed as though he were capitalizing on the popularity of yoga to sell this video and sell himself out. But it doesn't matter. Once I started doing this video more regularly, I realized that for those who are not as flexible, the modifications are a real help. what I like about his original video, no hand holding, is very intimidating to a lot of people I know. If you are familiar with his original series, expect it to be a bit different and mainstream in presentation, but know that your basic...Kest workout is still there. If you are not familiar with Brian Kest and Power Yoga, this is a body and mind workout. You set the pace and you challenge yourself. As Brian Kest says, the most important thing is the breath, if you don't get anything else from the video, you get the breath and a feeling of relaxation and calm. Slowly you can incorporate the poses and you will find a workout that calms you and makes you sweat and tones your muscles. I have found that this workout in particular leaves me feeling very loose and stretches my muscles a lot. The balancing poses are challenging (!) but fun. If you are really doing the workout you won't notice the cheesy set, and if you are more advanced, then modify your poses from the easier ones that are shown sometimes. It is a good workout.

4.0 out of 5 stars chiseled pipes, August 4, 2002

This review is from: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga, Intensive Body Sculpting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I started doing this tape because of my busy schedule. Although it is less than an hour long, it provides an excellent practice sequence. After 3 months of practice, I actually have some nice looking arms!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a WONDERFUL yoga workout!, February 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bryan Kest - Power Yoga, Intensive Body Sculpting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I became a fan of Bryan Kest's videos with his 1995 Power Yoga series (I have both TONE and SWEAT), so when I saw this one I bought it. Wow! What a wonderful workout--a great addition to the ones I already have. He does a better job with showing modifications on this video for those who can't do the maximum in each pose. It's a workout that makes you sweat, but the great thing about yoga is that you can also take it easy if you want and still get some benefit. After I finish this tape I always feel incredible. I highly recommend this video to people of moderate fitness level and above. I also love his original Power Yoga series, which I mentioned before, so I recommend them all if you're looking for a bit of variety.
