DVD Reviews of Bryan Kest Power Yoga Complete CollectionDVD Review: Yoga at Home Summary: 5 StarsThe first yoga workout in this video is my all- time favorite. Not too repetitive, not too strenuous. I always feel great after my practice.
DVD Review: Not a good yoga video series Summary: 1 StarsI just tried this yoga series. After practicing for 8.5 years I honestly did not find this very challenging and that's what I was looking for. The cuing for poses is not good unless you are familiar with poses and in particular sequence of poses. I did like his message and feel that's the best thing about this video series. I'd actually like to try a live class with him at some point. I just don't think it's the best video series available for at home practice. That said, I will reiterate his message is very good.
DVD Review: excellent Summary: 5 StarsUp until recently, I have stayed away from yoga. It didn't seem like it would be a good workout. But I am so glad I branched out and tried this one! I love that it has three levels, and the first one kicks my butt! I love having a challenge and something to work toward. I absolutely love the way my body feels after I get done with this video. I feel more loose and stretched out than I ever have before. I have gotten to the point where I crave this video and feeling so good afterward. And I also feel like I'm getting a good workout in, as well. This is a great video to add to your collection.
DVD Review: Yoga for the Cynic Summary: 5 StarsI must admit that Yoga intimidated me a bit. I'm not the most flexible person in the world and while I enjoy quiet meditation and relaxation techniques, I am sometimes a bit too cynical for the hokey new age music and workouts filmed in meadows or rain forests with soft-spoken directions. I do however thoroughly enjoy this DVD and find it to be an excellent strengthening and energizing workout. I can see how it would be difficult to follow as stated in other reviews if you are a complete novice to Yoga. I had learned from a few other beginner tapes before finding Kest's DVD so the transitions to upward and downward dog, etc. can be a bit hard to manage if not familiar with proper transitions. I also liked that it included a few more complex poses than most beginner tapes. The modifications help to ease into these poses, allowing you to grow in your practice and move to the next level. If you listen to his direction and focus on your own poses and not on trying to continually keep an eye on the TV, you'll find this to be an excellent and rewarding workout. I watched the tape through one time before joining in so that I could become familiar with the sequence and the poses I was going to be directed on. This allows me to only have to look up a handful of times and instead submerse myself in breathing and proper posing.
DVD Review: Very Motivating Summary: 5 StarsI have been taking yoga classes for 2 years and have decided to incorporate additional practices at home. I purchased this DVD based on some of the reviews and am glad I did. I absolutely love it. He does a really good job of suggesting alternative moves and encouraging you listen to your body - to not push yourself to far but to enjoy the pose you are in. I highly recommend this DVD
Description of Bryan Kest Power Yoga Complete Collection1. Energize - Beginner Level Feel the power. Be the power. Unlock the strengthening, slimming, detoxifying and reenergizing of Power Yoga. Bryant Kest leads you in vigorous workout based on the robust Ashtanga style of yoga.
"If you're doing the best you can, you're doing this class perfectly," Kest explains. After instructions on proper breathing, the session begins, taking you and an on-screen class through a variety of flowing, dynamic exercises (salutation, lungs, balancing, spinal stretches and more) augmented by Kest's demonstrations of the poses.
2. Tone - Intermediate Level Challenge your muscular strength aerobic endurance, flexibility, balance and mental stamina with Tone.
An innovative series of lunge moves provides the primary activity in this workout that emphasizes finding your personal edge - the maximal yoga pose that still permits proper yogic breathing. Kest guides you and an in-studio class in a total-body regime that helps maintain flexibility and suppleness while building strength and well-being. Features comprising various poses are described so that you can add elements as you become more adept.
3. Sweat - Advanced Level Looking for an advanced yoga routine? Then get ready to sweat.
"This program is definitely challenging," Kest admits about this maximal power-up session that builds upon the strength, stamina and flexibility cultivated in the first two Power Yoga programs, combining a vigorous lung series with extended standing balance and floor stretch moves, the routine flows from one pose to the next while working toward total body/mind harmony. The brisk pace provides instruction, encouragement and commentary to assist you and the on-screen class. Anyone wanting to get in shape like the stars need go no further than Bryan Kest's videos. Kest teaches wildly popular yoga classes in Santa Monica, California--so popular that stars like Rhea Perlman, David Duchovny, and Elisabeth Shue willingly sweat alongside the hoi polloi in Kest's packed, ancient loft studio. If you don't happen to be in the neighborhood, not to worry: Kest's yoga videos are nearly as good as being there. Volume 1: Energize is a beginner level class that nonetheless is smartly designed to provide challenges for all levels of users. Kest's Jersey-boy voice at first seems in contrast to the serene environment and inner-peace objectives, but it gradually becomes soothing and hypnotic in its own right. Stretches and strengthening moves are alternated with just enough repose to keep even first timers on track. After mastering Vol. 1, practitioners can go on to Volume 2: Tone or Volume 3: Sweat to further challenge themselves. As long as you keep in mind Kest's personal mantra--"If you're doing the best you can, you're doing this class perfectly"--you and this video should have many satisfying years of workouts together. --Anne Hurley
