 I f-ing love Brian KestMay 15, 2008
Ok, I'm not Michael, but his wife Nicole. This DVD was the best Yoga DVD purchase I made. I bought 7 other yoga videos and this is the one that got me back in shape. I did extensive weight training and cardio for 12 years and after baby #2, I just didn't have the time and energy to commit to that kind of lifestyle anymore. Yoga was something I tried in the past at the gym and never really felt like it did anything for me physically except cause me great pain! However, after not being in the gym and lifting weights for 4 months, my muscles were relaxed enough for something new. I do like my Baron Baptiste DVD's, but Brian Kest's series really pushed me mentally to do something I didn't think I couldn't do physically. In two months I am into the advanced practice. Although I can't put my head to the floor, I am "pushing my edge" further and further w/ each practice. My muscles are longer and leaner and I feel like I've transformed my "hard body" into a feminine shape. I haven't lost one pound, but I am happier mentally and feel sexier b/c I am leaner and more graceful than before. It's a wonder I got into shape w/ this Yoga DVD at all b/c Brian Kest is so hot he is distracting. Great first purchase.
One of the best Yoga workouts on the market.May 15, 2008
I want to get one thing out of the way first: I can see why some people were turned off by this DVD. Yes, it appears to strive for glamor. Yes, Bryan Kest's attitude stands out. Yes, he does not stop talking (I actually think he was guiding but ok, I'll go with talking). In fact, my wife, the moment I began playing this DVD, said that Bryan Kest comes across as annoying and seems to be just so in love with himself.
But I think this is all just a perception (which sometimes is everything). Here's what I noticed first about these yoga workouts (there are three of them: Energize, Tone, and Sweat). In the beginning, Bryan ALWAYS tells you several key rules in his workouts: breathing is important, "there is no such thing as a perfect pose", we are not trying to get anywhere, we are just trying to be in the present (or something like that). And when I hear this and I see how his students do things perfectly, I tell myself, with small steps I may be able to do the same poses, and perfectly, in the future. But I am not driving myself crazy about it.
All three workouts are not for beginners and cover a lot of different poses. I am still trying to figure out the rational behind naming the workouts because regardless which one I do, after them I feel energized, toned, and drop about a gallon of sweat. I believe this is the ashtanga yoga.
This DVD is one of my favorites and I get to appreciate it more with each workout.
 Looking for you inner zen? try elsewhereMay 15, 2008
OMG, Bryan Kest, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP! This guy would not stop talking, except, of course, to grope the nearest human being. Not a particularly unique or inspiring series of asanas. Body's right and left sides got uneven attention.
True Yoga--As Tough As You Want It.May 08, 2008
About a year ago I was introduced to Bryan Kest. I have four of his CD's and have taken my yoga practice to a much deeper level with his instruction. However the CD's go on for 90 minutes or more, time I don't always have, so I find this DVD attractive because the three levels of yoga practice included are each around 45 minutes. For the money, this DVD can't be beat. It will challenge you no matter what your previous yoga experience, and even a beginner can benefit as long as they go slowly.
Amazing yoga workoutsApr 14, 2008
I have to say that this is the best workout and with great music, instruction, and balance. It is challenging and without being impossible. I also like that Brian Kest's instructions leave you feeling great about what you are able to do. This DVD would be great for any level.
