DVD Reviews of Baron Baptiste's Live! Series DVD

DVD Review: A Complete Yoga Workout
Summary: 5 Stars

After practicing over a year with Bryan Kest's 3 disc DVD set (a great disc set that I highly recommend), I decided to venture out and try a new DVD with a new instructor. Boy, am I glad I did. Baron Baptiste's Live Series is great. Although it says it's for beginner and advance students, it would help the beginner if he had at least a few classes under his belt before attempting this DVD. Baron moves quickly and if you don't have some basic knowledge of the poses, it could be a bit challenging in beginning.

What I really like about this DVD is that it has three separate programs on it. The first program is 60 minutes long and very complete. The second program is only 30 minutes and focuses on building core strength. In other words, the poses focus on strengthening your back and abs. The last program is 30 minutes as well and focuses on poses that would benefit an athlete or active person. This 30 minute program, in my opinion, would benefit anyone, not just an athlete. It is an abbreviated version of the 60 minute program. It's great if you are short on time, yet still want to get your practice in. I personally enjoy doing 30 minutes of cardio followed by 30 minutes of the core strength program. As many of you know, cardio activities like running or biking don't strengthen your back or abs, so this is a perfect complement to this kind of workout.

Beginners: if you are thinking about buying this DVD, don't let Baron's pace scare you off. Even if you don't have any prior yoga experience, Baron does such a good job at explaining the poses that after several attempts, the practice will become easier.

In all, I highly recommend this DVD. Baron is an effective instructor importing patience and compassion into his practice.

DVD Review: Wonderful Workout/ Wonderful Teacher
Summary: 5 Stars

I have been using this DVD for several months now and I find something new every day. It is a great workout, it flows very well. Beginner levels are introduced where needed. I have really enjoyed my workouts with Baron and this group. My wife has begun to workout with me lately. I highly recommend it. I use his book Journey into Power to explain the poses in more detail.

DVD Review: If you only buy one yoga DVD, make it this one...
Summary: 5 Stars

I have tried many yoga and pilates videos and this one blows them all away. It's much better than Baron's three level DVD set. I get through the 30 minute workout(s) (there are two) and I feel refreshed and my muscles are taught...but the best part is that I am never bored with it. In fact, it (almost) ends a bit too quickly.

DVD Review: Awesome! But not for new beginners...
Summary: 5 Stars

I started practicing Yoga about 4 months ago. Starting with Bryan Kest's Beginner 20-minute at the suggestion of a friend, I was hooked! I started checking out Baron Baptiste when I saw his 3 DVD set at Best Buy. I liked his flow a lot. I read here how great the LIVE! DVD was and I read Baron's book.

This is a fantastic intermediate workout. All three workouts are awesome and complete. The music is by far the best music I have heard in any Yoga video.

Get this one if you want to take your practice to the next level!

If you are a TRUE BEGINNER WITH NO EXPERIENCE get Bryan Kest's Step-By-Step/20 Minute Workout DVD (or seperately on VHS).

DVD Review: The New Face of Baron Baptiste
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD has three very nice workouts on it: the first is a 60-minute full workout that reflects Baron's teaching these days. Age has made him a more gentle and careful teacher, but this session will still move that healing heat and deep sweat through your body. I found the session an interesting combination of gentleness and challenge, in large part because the poses are ordered differently than they are in many power workouts including Bryan Kest's and Baron's mid 1990s work. Specifically, the tape moves away from using exclusively sun salutations for warming the body, instead adding in thunderbolt poses (like sitting in chair with no chair)to build up heat. For those whose arms might get tired doing the salutations, the chair poses spread the heat over the whole body and the sequence does not overload the arms right at the beginning of the session. For me the changed sequence meant that different parts of the body were being challenged at different points, which seemed to expose some new body weaknesses and really got the heat moving. The new order also allowed me to go farther in some poses like side plank pose where the traditional order had left me a little too weak to explore the pose like I wanted to. Definitely worth having. Also included on the disc are two short sessions, a core power (abs and back) session and an athletic performance (hip, leg and back stretch and strength)session. Both of these are very good, but you want to be sure you are practicing in a well-heated room, breathing deeply and relaxing, because in a shorter session it is sometimes easy to strain a little bit before you are really heated up and loose. With that in mind, the two 30 minute short sessions are also really good. This disc is a great value, and for my money is better than Journey Into Power 2, although that is also very good.
