Certified instructor description: The Firm’s unique approach to yoga, these smooth-flowing routines feel more “athletic” than “mystical.” This is true yoga, so you’ll get all of yoga’s well-known benefits: balance, flexibility and strength. The moves include all the classics, from “downward dog” and “warrior” to “cobra” and “child’s” pose. However, the emphasis is on stretching and toning the muscles, not on achieving a “mind-body connection.” In fact, there is no yoga jargon at all; Kirsten Strohecker cues the moves with common, easy-to-understand terminology. Ideal for “non-yoga” people. ©2004.

The Firm: Power Yoga

We all do it!
Initially I purchased this for my 13 year old daughter who was interested in getting into Yoga. Now my 16 year old daughter and I do it as well. It is a challenging workout and a great compliment to the "off" days of the other FIRM workouts when you just don't feel like "jumping around." - posted by Beth on 5/7/2012
The Firm - yoga
I tried this yoga workout before I purchased it. I really enjoy it! - posted by Michelle on 4/1/2012
Great video!
Although this "POWER" video isn't super intense, it definitely gets the job done so don't be intimidated or think it's too easy. Kirsten's cuing is great. I have been doing Yoga for quite awhile, and still enjoy this video a lot! - posted by Mary on 3/26/2012
Yoga Newbie
I have done aerobics for most of my life, but never yoga. I found it to be a great non-impact core workout. It works on balance as well. I didn't get a dripping sweat workout, but I did feel stronger and that I got something out of it. The instructor suggests doing this workout on an off or down day and I find it to work well that way. - posted by Holly on 3/9/2012
Power Yoga
I bought this as an introduction to yoga since I had never done yoga before. I was pleased with the DVD. I found it was easy to follow and the instructor was very clear in her instruction. I will definitely add this into my rotation once or twice a week. - posted by Lisa on 3/5/2012
a real workout!
I love the FIRM workouts but wanted to try something different. Yoga by FIRM - yeah! This video is tougher than it may appear - I work up a sweat even though my heartrate does not elevate. I really like it except for one move where the instructor moves into the pose you see on the cover - other than not figuring that one out (yet!), I feel very stretched out and relaxed! I am glad I purchased it! - posted by Rachel on 1/2/2012
i used to hate yoga
This is a wonderful dvd for beginning yoga. I have taken yoga classes, and have not enjoyed them. This dvd is easy to follow, with excellent cuing. It is just right as an introduction to yoga, without the terminology. I feel relaxed and stretched when I am done. - posted by Elaine on 12/1/2011

I find this dvd to be challenging yet fun. - posted by Patricia on 11/25/2011
Poses great! Music to loud?
I really enjoyed this instructor and the poses and her style. I had trouble into the class with the music getting louder and not being about to here the poses. This is important because I use these workouts for a class which older people attend and some of them have hearing issues. - posted by Jacquie on 10/27/2011
Not as easy as it sounds!
This is a great workout. When I think of Yoga, I think of stretching and relaxation. While this video is all that, it also works your muscles! Surprisingly enough, I was actually sore the day after I first did this workout. All in all . . .very happy with this purchase! - posted by Pamela on 10/17/2011

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.

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.
