Time graph for Bryan Kest's Intensive Body Sculpting

Flowing, astanga-style power yoga designed to shape and tone your entire body. Brian has been teaching power yoga for 18 years; his technique is perfect, his cuing is precise (e.g. “soften your neck…”). He assures enjoyment with his calm, accepting attitude (e.g. “honor and respect your limitations”). The video’s first half features yoga basics — less intense routines that also help warm your muscles. The second half includes more challenging poses that require lots of flexibility (but one exerciser always shows easier modifications). Excellent production, quiet music. ©2000.

Bryan Kest's Intensive Body Sculpting

The Best
I have been doing Brian Kest videos as well as attending several of his seminars for many years. When I first ordered his videos from Collage so many years ago (thank you Collage for introducing me to Brian) I too thought "you talk to much". As my practice grew, Brian is the one I turned to again and again because I liked the flow and challenge of his routines. I can't tell you when I started to hear what he was saying all I noticed was that I was using his words to advance my daily practice to a new level. He is the best. - posted by Maggie on 6/4/2009
Please Listen to what he's saying
I agree with the reviewer who recommends listening to what Bryan is saying. Once I relaxed into it and really listened to what he was saying, it's transformed my yoga practice. Part of the challenge is to slow down and remind yourself of your intentions, as he guides you to do. It's not about jamming through a workout, if you want that perhaps his videos are not for you. But if you're looking to start or expand your yoga practice and get more from it than you ever thought possible. You can't go wrong with any of his videos. His cuing is impeccable and he even makes you smile along the way. - posted by Jennifer on 12/12/2008
Hey, LISTEN to what he says!
Bryan is one the absolute BEST Yoga Masters of today. Maybe the greatest challenge coming from this video is taking the time to slow down and actually listen to some in-depth wisdom that Bryan shares with us in this particular dvd. This man is brilliant. I am a Yoga instructor myself, and I've learned so much wonderful knowledge from Bryan. I've witnessed my own students press too far into poses, holding their breath, clenching every inch of their bodies, not listening or being aware of what they are doing. If you want to heighten your Yoga practice, listen to Bryan, and listen to your body. Bryan Kest is a precious gift. You will LOVE all of his dvd's. - posted by Sandra on 12/11/2008
Have to agree with other reviews
I purchased this video because I really wanted a power yoga workout. I have been trying alternate workouts since I have had to cut back on running. Although this is a power yoga workout he TALKED WAY TOO MUCH. It completely threw off my concentration. I also felt we stayed in position too long. - posted by Candace on 5/10/2008
Good yoga workout
I agree with Gianna. Power yoga 1,2,and 3 are the best. He does talk way too much in this video but it is a great routine. I just try to tune him out and enjoy the workout. I also miss the tarzan hair. - posted by georgia on 1/10/2008
Great workout - but Bryan needs to stop YAPPIN'!
I have his "Power Yoga 1, 2, and 3" set and they are FABULOUS - even better than this one. Worth 5 stars easy, but my complaint for this one is he talks way too much. Instead of relaxing me, I'm getting anxious about him - he talks fast, too. Very nerve wracking when you're trying to do something like yoga. - posted by Gianna on 9/16/2007

A good yoga workout, but....
the constant dialogue makes it hard to focus. I did not break a sweat but liked holding poses a bit longer than normal. - posted by Emilyjane....KY on 3/17/2007
love it, love it, love it
i purchased this video about 1 month ago and let me tell you it's great, my legs got really toned so did my abs, and my butt got harder, i even got taller, the only thing is that if you have a bad knee you have to watch out, because some poses required to be on your knee, but other than that, you will have an excellent workout, it will even make you sweat, I believe if you buy it, you won't be dissappointed. - posted by patricia zeyer on 9/22/2006
Keepin' This One!
I'm new to yoga and started with the 3 set series of Bryan's - Energize, Tone & Sweat. When I was previewing this DVD, I thought I may end up sending it back because it looked a lot like the others. There are several different moves (and maybe some of the same moves just done a little differently). My butt was sore today - something I barely ever experience after a tape! Yay - then I know it's working! - posted by Kelly on 5/30/2006
BRAVO
It was hard for me to get used to Bryan's way of teaching - holding the poses for long periods of time - but this is my second tape of his and I love it. I have his weight loss power yoga and now this scuplting tape. They are great routines. I have noticed a notable increase in upper body strength since doing these tapes. I like the pace and can finally do the "downward facing dog" pose pretty well. Hope he does more. - posted by Rosie G on 8/22/2005

Reading a Time Graph
X
Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.
sample time graph
Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
