Time graph for Bryan Kest's Power Yoga Beginner Workout

Bryan’s easiest workout ever, it’s a flowing series of basic yoga poses. You get the fluidity and vitality of power yoga in a well-taught, not-too-intense format. Bryan starts by emphasizing the underlying mental aspects of yoga success: focusing on the present, deep/free breathing and concentration on your workout goals. That’s followed by a balanced series of classic yoga routines. Throughout, Brian walks among the class offering gentle motivation and experienced tips on technique (“it’s not what you’re doing; it’s the quality of what you do”). Quiet music. ©2000.

Bryan Kest's Power Yoga Beginner Workout

Best Yoga!

This was the first yoga video I ever tried.That was about 8 years ago. I loved it then and I love it now. I always go back to it no matter what other video's or classes I do. I bought it as part of a set. I enjoy them all but it's easy to make time for 20 minutes of yoga at the start or end of your day. easy to follow for beginners but enjoyable for yogi's - posted by Sherri on 4/28/2008

good workout; too much philosophy

The workout section of this video is definitely a good introduction to faster paced yoga, and a good quick workout. (I do slower yoga as well as aerobic exercise several times a week and found it challenging, but not overly difficult.) The instructor talks continually however, and not only about cues-- for my taste, he gives way too much of his personal philosophy, which I find distracting. - posted by Rachel on 5/1/2004

great video

I love this video. I tarted power yoga several months ago, and I have thouroughly loved Rodney Yee's beginner power yoga series but needed something new. So, I tried Bryan Kest's volume 2 (the only one I could find in a store in Canada), and I loved it and loved him - but just didn't have the time or energy to do it very often. Im so pleased that I now have this video-which is a good yoga workout: enegizing, awakening and challenging without taking too much out of me, and i get to enjoy Bryan...I also got volume 1 and am eager to try that tomorrow!!! - posted by jill on 6/15/2002

Bryan is the Best!

I bought this as part of a set. Bryan is the BEST at making Power Yoga easy. I have TONS of yoga videos. Several on Power Yoga. Bryan's workout is 20 minutes and it is easy to comprehend. I also feel like I have really gotten a workout and that I can eventually move on to the harder videos. I strongly recommend his tapes - posted by Judy DeMonico on 6/11/2002

Reading a Time Graph

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.

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.
