DVD Reviews of Bryan Kest - Power Yoga, Beginner Series, 2 Titles on 1 DVD
DVD Review: A 20-minute Power Yoga Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I have yet to come across a better 20-minute power yoga practice. Perfect for the mornings you've overslept or if you're an add-on junkie (like myself) trying to squeeze as many workouts as possible into 40 minutes.
In a class-style setting Kest instructs as he moves among the yogis making form corrections and, as he is known for, talking all the while. Although one yogini shows modifications, this is not a true beginner workout. (Novices would do better starting with Yoga Zone's "Introduction to Power Yoga.") I've been practicing yoga for a little over two years and this one is still in my regular rotation. It's short but intense especially if you substitute more advanced versions of the poses such as a full side plank instead of the one-knee-down modification.
Kest starts of with (surprise!) sun salutations, brisk but nowhere near as rapid as his non-beginner routines. Standing poses include warrior 2 into extended side angle and triangle into the Kest "airplane," as well as a stretching sequence with blown palm and standing forward bend. (Side plank is in there somewhere.) He finishes up on the floor with boat, reverse plank, seated wide-legged forward bend, spinal twists and final relaxation.
Bryan Kest seems to be a love-him or hate-him instructor. He's very easy on the eyes but some complain that he talks constantly and uses superfluous language. Personally, I don't think he talks any more than your average video instructor; he is leading a class after all. I find the constant form pointers to be helpful and the use of imagery deepens my understanding of how my body should feel while keeping the practice playful. Clearly I'm a fan. But those who prefer a strictly athletic approach or who have a conflict of faith may not agree... which is a shame because it's a little 20-minute gem.
