5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent! A real workout for people who want results., September 26, 2002
Bryan Kest is about my favorite Yoga instructor. I always watch a video before attempting it. In this video I noticed a few interesting changes in Bryan and his productions. First, he cut off the mop on his head and he's aged about five years --- filled out a bit and lost some of his youthful slimness. He's also lost some of his tendency to be a bit too touchy with his class. He is more polished and one senses he's a bit more commercial. Also, at the end of the video, rather than the normal "namasta" he said, "thank you". I've never heard that from a yoga instructor but guess it's okay.Having said all that, I can tell you that this is a real workout. It's not for sissies but, at the same time, just about anyone at any level should be able to do it and, if necessary, modify some of the asanas. What makes this such a great workout is that it's a 40 minute flow. You never stop. You will really feel your heart working and you'll build up a sweat. If you're a real advanced student you may not. But most of us will. Bryan uses only a few basic asanas in this entire video. But it's similar to an arerbic workout in that the asanas are repeated so when you're finished, you feel like you've lifted weights and worked both the upper and lower body and also the heart. You do get your cardio. I feel it's very complete. In my opinion, Bryan provides you with a very complete cardio as well as muscular toning workout and, while I don't know for sure, I suspect one can lose weight with it. But in any case, you'll sure feel better after doing it. And you can modify any of the asanas. There is one student who shows the modifications or you can create your own. The music is different than Bryan's other videos. It's soft and low key, unlike his 1995 videos. His instruction is good --- pretty easy to follow. During some of the asanas he guides you, motivates you and instructs you as to both the physical and mental aspects of the pose. I highly recommend this video.
