Summary: Strength
Review: I order this DVD 5 months ago. It is a great, focused workout that takes the practitioner through every part of their body, using a calm rhythmic breathing technique to link the body and the mind. The workout is great for experienced practitioners as well as the beginner because modifications are offered in each pose. So as your become more proficient in your practice this DVD still has a very challenging workout unlike other DVDs which do not always offer modifications. I even used the DVD with an injury and used the modifications to be compassionate with my injury but continue to practice. The music that accompained the practice was a great addition. I cannot wait for other DVDs from this yoga studio.

Summary: Disappointing, move on to another
Review: First of all, this DVD does not use any of the inherent advantages of DVDs at all: i.e., chapters, different workouts, and special featuresHaving said that, while this DVD does emphasize more aggressive or challenging postures, in the end, it offers nothing whatsoever over any of the other many Yoga DVDs. The workout is much too short as anyone that has practiced for a while will notice. The instructor is great, not preachy, and the music is tolerable, but instead look at any of the Yoga Journal or Yoga for EveryBody DVDs.

Summary: Power Yoga with Some new moves
Review: This is a quite good power yoga workout, it's pretty different from most power yoga and adds some new moves into it which was very good and challenging at times, some of the moves reminded me a little bit of pilates exercises but after all pilates was influenced by yoga, it's about 1 hour long.

Summary: good way to get back into yoga
Review: First, I have to reinforce what a previous reviewer said--this CD is a great value for what you get. I used to do a little yoga years ago but was having trouble getting back into it. I really like this routine--it is a good mixture of easy and challenging poses. The music might bug you at first like another reviewer said, but if you open yourself up to it it actually becomes a great accompaninment. My wife was making fun of Kurt's style but I have warmed up to him and like the pace and mix of his routine. I am always looking forward to repeating. I am glad I had some yoga background because I already know proper position and tilt but if you lack that background you will want to combine this video with some background reading or some real instruction. I live way out in the country and I like that this DVD makes you feel like you are part of the class. I will want to try some other DVDs or CDs in the future but I really like this one.

Summary: Love it!!!
Review: This is a great DVD that leaves me feeling strong and energized. It's a bit slow for me in the beginning as he sets up the breathing, but definitely delivers heat and a solid upper body workout once you get through that. The music is decent and the instructor is not annoying. The workout runs for about an hour - enough to feel complete. I have tried a lot of routines and this one continues to be a staple in my schedule. You may also like Power Yoga for Strength and Endurance by Yoga Zone.

Summary: Great Strength Yoga, Not Enough Hip and Back Opening
Review: First of all, this disc is a great deal and I would recommend it to anyone who likes power yoga. It has a lot of great strength-building movements for the upper body and some for the lower body as well. It definitely delivers what it says it will. I only have two complaints: first, the disc lacks all of my favorite body-opening poses, namely the triangle series and the hip-opening poses like pigeon pose. I find that as a result I don't feel as energized, loose, balanced and strong as when I do one of Bryan Kest's or Baron Baptiste's sessions. Second, and this is only aesthetic, the teacher's manner may get on your nerves. To me that is a minor problem and the I would definitely recommend the disc.

Summary: Tough, but excellent yoga routine
Review: I have had the pleasure of taking classes with Kurt and the other teachers in the video at their studio in Dallas. They truly have an interest in helping people to understand yoga and feel better and healthier. This video is excellent. It is very much like their sessions in the studio. It can be quite a work out and you may not be able to do all of the poses at first, but when you get to the point that you can, you feel so good about yourself. They're not afraid to fall and they demonstrate that in yoga falling, taking breaks, and not always doing the whole pose is a natural and accepted part of yoga. I definately recommend it!

Summary: Smile, Please!!!
Review: I ordered this DVD based upon the reviews. It was definitely a good work out. That I do have to say. But, what was strange was the other participants in the class didn't engage with the teacher at all. They were "zoned" out in my opinion. They never looked at the teacher, cracked a smile, or showed any emotion. I like to see someone having a good time in the class. It encourages me to push myself. The ethnic drum beats and breathing sounds were distracting when working out. I use it for the workout and it is a challenge.
