DVD Reviews of The Pleasure of Strength

DVD Review: Wonderful !
Summary: 5 Stars

Ana has an absolutely beautiful teaching style - she's thorough and gentle, and yet she draws deeply into your inner strength and spirit. Her instruction is flawless.
Yes, this practice is harder than most, and you will feel it in your core...that's the whole point.
I would highly recommend this dvd to intermediate and advanced yogis.

DVD Review: Nice Addition to Ana Forrest Library
Summary: 5 Stars

An intermediate-level DVD offering a nice stepping-stone between Ana's Strength & Spirit DVD and 5-Day Intensive CD course. It includes a 60-minute workout as well as a condensed 30-minute version if you're short on time. There is also a 15-minute partner yoga demonstration and a 15-minute tutorial/introduction to Forrest Yoga moves. If you're new to Ana Forrest and her philosophy, I recommend starting with Strength & Spirit, and then progressing to this one.

DVD Review: mixed review
Summary: 4 Stars

There are a lot of things that I like about this one-hour workout. For example, she takes you through a great shoulder flexibility routine and also does a lot of rapid sun salutations that are great for core strength and really work the arms with a lot of plank/chatarongas. However, it starts out strangely and doesn't set the tone by simply breathing or doing a simple meditation. Also, there is no music which is a little weird. I also found myself wishing I could hold some of the poses, like down-dog, for an extended period. I felt that a focus on flexibility was really lacking in this program. All in all, I think it's a great program for developing core strength, and you can really work up a sweat, but I would definitely want to complement it with a program that focuses on holding poses for increased flexibility.

DVD Review: Challenging!
Summary: 5 Stars

I really love Ana & this restorative, challenging dvd. It has an incredible core section that may be the toughest ab work available. I've done P90X, Cathe, Ana Caban & nothing feels like this dvd. If you are serious about yoga, this is a wonderful dvd to own.

DVD Review: Waste of Money
Summary: 1 Stars

I found this dvd to be lousy. First of all, Ana Forrest has a hard, unloving energy. She demonstrates a few postures and that's it. Nothing extraordinary, no great new ideas. There is a special features section where she is doing yoga/gymnastic tricks with her husband and I felt like I shouldn't have been there watching. Don't waste your money on this dvd! I enjoyed the following much more: Power Yoga with Bryan Kest, Ashtanga Yoga with Nicki Doane, and Baron Baptiste's Power Yoga series.
