Power yoga "demands your attention," says instructor Rodney Yee. He leads a challenging, constantly progressing series of poses, one flowing into the next, integrating breath, movement, tension, and relaxation. The poses include Sun Salutation, standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists, and arm balances. The first poses are fairly easy, and with each repetition of the series, Yee adds on more difficult movements, extending the series without pausing. You're encouraged to do as much of the series that fits your level, up to the entire 65-minute workout if you're an experienced yoga practitioner. Although you can begin at any level, some familiarity with yoga is recommended. The Hawaiian setting is gorgeous and inspiring. This is an excellent yoga workout that you can grow with, adding on more as you get stronger. --Joan Price

Stamina Required
As a yoga enthusiast for years, I am used to yoga for fun, stretching, flexibility, and a peaceful experience. The Power Yoga-Total Body Workout is just that...powerful. Forget peaceful. You will soon be in a full-body sweat. The poses progress from one to the next with little time for catching your breath, and some are great for challenging your balance and coordination. I wanted a more strenuous workout, and I got it with this DVD. Rodney Yee is a good teacher, especially for the intermediate and advanced levels. However, this is not for beginners.
All in all, I love the workout and try to incorporate yoga with my other workouts at least three times a week.

to much repetition
I have used this dvd only 2 times because i did not really like it. There is to much jumping back and forth in this dvd. I am not a fan of that and i do yoga regularly. It is not one of my favorites. I recommend bryan kest power yoga series, they are much smoothly ran.

My favorite
I have many Yee (and Gaiam) yoga DVD's and this is the one I come back to time and time again- I never get bored with it. It's got a little bit of everything and is presented well. Yee knows his stuff, he's very thorough in helping to make for proper alignment- you can't go wrong with one of his practices (though you may not be up to it yet, just give yourself time and you'll get there!). But given that he is an Iyengar yogi, having the props is really beneficial especially when you're doing certain postures. But even if you don't you will still get a great workout just doing the vinyasas and stretching in this program.
