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: NOTHING IS MISSING!
Review: i have tried tons of power yoga tapes, this is my favorite. i feel like the instructor focuses on the whole body, which is often lacking from other workouts. i got a good sweat going, felt relaxed afterwards and definitely worked the whole body. as far as instruction, great! very thorough in explaining each move and i didn't feel lost like other videos. highly recommended.

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: 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.

Summary: A great way to spend an hour!
Review: I really enjoy this DVD. Kurt's voice is soothing, and even though the yoga poses provide a challenge--for flexibility, strength, and balance--this workout also relaxes me. The music is unusual--more rhythmic than melodic. It sounds almost as if someone is exhaling rhythmically throughout.

My DVD says "Beginner" on it, but this is definitely NOT for the beginner. Having said that, the poses can be modifed so you can start at an easier level and work your way up to more difficult variations. The DVD is about 50 minutes, and the time just flies when I'm doing it!

The only thing I would have liked that is not included is an option to do shorter workouts, for days when I don't have 50 minutes. I know some people would rather hear the Sanskrit names for poses, so be warned that Kurt uses Western names for yoga postures.

Summary: The BEST at home Yoga class!
Review: If all Yoga videos and DVDs were like this one I would never take a class again! When you do this workout you feel as though you are in the studio taking the class. The instructor is easy to follow; you work up a sweat and feel great afterwards! Unlike many yoga tapes/DVDs this DVD shows many shots of the students. I really like this because you can find modifications for difficult poses quickly and easily just by seeing what some of the students are doing. The style of the video and the music are also really cool and set a great atmosphere for your workout. I have heard rumor that this studio is putting out another video. I hope this is the case because I would love to add it to my rotation!!

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: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great upper body workout
Review: This is one of my new favorites! It's easy to follow and great for building strength, particularly in the shoulders and back. I love that you do not have to be a pretzel to do this routine and that it lasts for about an hour (so many videos have only 30 minute workouts). This is a must have for your collection!
