VHS Movie Reviews of Living Yoga's Power Strength Yoga for Beginners [VHS]

Movie Review: VERY fast-moving practice for intermediate to advanced
Summary: 4 Stars

Movie Review: Pretty good but not for beginners
Summary: 4 Stars

Movie Review: Very Challenging Vinyasa Flow for Upper Body Strength
Summary: 5 Stars

It has a really nice flow that keeps the heat in your body and the sweat flowing out of it:)

I would also agree with other reviewers in that this is definitely more of an intermediate routine. While it is only 25 or so minutes long, it contains tough arm balances that are definitely not beginner poses.

Perhaps the length is why it is under the "Beginners" umbrella. To me it's more like a great intermediate strength practice for an intermediate practitioner who wants a shorter practice.

If you compare it to Baron Baptiste's or Bryan Kest's tougher tapes or Mark Blanchard's super hard tapes it is definitely much easier, plus there aren't pushups thrown in between the up dogs and down dogs of the vinyasas.

I have just over 60 yoga videos and I would have to say that this video (along w/ Rodney's other "Power Yoga For Beginners Videos) are very high up on my list of favorite tapes to practice with.

As mentioned, the length makes this tape and the others in the set very easy to fit in to anyone's schedule and there is no doubt that it's better to practice more days per week for a shorter time than fewer days for a longer time, so this tape series is wonderful as you can alternate between them which keeps things fresh and also effects your body in different ways.

By the way, if you are ready for a longer, powerful intermediate yoga practice then another video I'd highly recommend is "Baptiste Power of Yoga" with Sherri Baptiste Freeman (see my in depth review of her video on Amazon under Sherri Baptiste Freeman)

Namaste

Movie Review: Not quite for Beginners--More for Intermediates!
Summary: 5 Stars

I decided to move on to the Power Yoga series, expecting to further improve my yoga techniques while getting a great upper body workout with improved flexibility. I first bought the "Power Yoga for Stamina" and enjoyed it very much. For more variety, I bought this video. I bought the third volume, "Flexibility" at a later time.

This tape is certainly the most challenging of the three Power Yoga tapes. You do upward and downward facing dog poses until your shoulders get so sore they can't move! You do these side arm bends which challenge your balance! And there's three different poses where you support yourself only your arms! But don't be scared away: you'll steadily improve with these poses every time you practice. I can finally do the arm lifts without much difficulty. And you WILL sweat after trying this video.

If you're new to yoga, I highly recommend that you try the AM/PM yoga first. Then buy the "Power Yoga for Stamina". It's an excellent introduction to Power yoga and is a summation of all three videos.

If you're advanced: get all three videos and practice all three in a row(never tried). The series seems to be designed to work this way. The first video (Stamina) is essentially a warmup with the middle video (Strength) as an intense workout with the final volume (Flexibility) to cool down your muscles.

Yes, it is fast pace, but you need to watch at least once without exercising to observe and then practice the tape a couple times before you get familiar with the poses. And the "Stamina" volume already introduces you to many of the poses done here. An excellent buy!

Movie Review: way too fast....not what I would consider yoga
