Fit December 2000 "Instead of holding each pose for a long time, you zing through them, baddabing, baddaboom. I like this fast paced yoga." Rated 5-stars.

Time graph for Yoga Zone's Power Yoga

Filmed at a beautiful Jamaican resort, it’s a fast-moving, flowing yoga series with easy-to-see level modifications. Master instructor Lisa Bennett is usually the “mid-level” exerciser. But, once she’s demonstrated the sequence, she becomes the instructor — meticulously teaching harder/easier intensity options. You get a wide variety of yoga classics, from basic poses to truly challenging positions (e.g. the advanced assistant does a near head-stand pose). Ends with a well-deserved relaxation segment. Quiet new-age music. ©1999. DVD has: Chapter menus.

Yoga Zone's Power Yoga

I always enjoy this one
I've had this one for years now and always enjoy coming back to it. It's a good workout with a really nice relaxing stretch at the end. I really like the instructor. She has a pleasant and calming personality. I love workouts where you feel like you've worked hard, but also feel relaxed and stretched at the the end. It also has a pretty outdoor setting. - posted by CM on 6/9/2009
A great advanced yoga practice.
Like everybody else in the world, I love Bryan Kest's Power Yoga triology. I have sought high and low for something to add to my rotation, and have found very few yoga videos that are worth keeping. This is one of the best aside from Kest. Yes, there is a bit more instruction than you might expect from an advanced practice, but there are two things to keep in mind: 1) there is a modifier for intermediates, and so the instruction is helpful for that half of the users and 2) for those of us who practice at home, reminders are always helpful to correct form. I found some of the instruction superfluous, but I didn't mind--the instructor's voice is inoffensive and ignorable. I did find some of her tips extremely useful. Overall, I sweat a lot doing this DVD. The first half is just intense full-body yoga, and the second half includes a lot of standing balancing poses to really challenge your strength and balance. A very thorough and well-paced yoga practice overall. - posted by Holly on 4/3/2009
It's the Yoga video I always can rely on
I've had this video for years and I always go to it when I want a really thorough workout. I still get muscle soreness the next day. Really holds the move or stretch. Great for building leg and core strength. I like the talking because it keeps me aware of my form. I may get this on DVD for my library. - posted by Patty on 10/28/2008
WAY too much talking
I couldn't agree more with the reviewer below--the instructor in this video does not come up for air. CONSTANT yakking--too much instruction for an advanced yoga workout. Anyone doing this workout should not be new to yoga, so we don't need an exact play-by-play on how to do downward facing dog, for example. I like my power yoga to be challenging AND somewhat relaxing--the incessant talking made me feel like I was at work instead of home trying to de-stress. - posted by Amy on 11/23/2007
Great for those with some experience
I bought the VHS version of this video many years ago, when my experience with yoga was limited. I gave it away after a few frustrating attempts. I bought the DVD version yesterday, hoping that years of yoga practice would help me enjoy it. It worked. This is a great workout -- but not for beginners. You need quite a bit of strength, stamina and flexibility, not to mention familiarity with yoga, to get through the tape. But if you get through it, it's a good, enjoyable, challenging workout. This time I'll keep it. - posted by Marie on 10/29/2007

too tough
TOUGH! I am pretty experienced with yoga and this workout kicked my butt! I know with time I will get in amazing shape with this workout - but it's almost so hard that it's discouraging. I think it's better for extremely advanced yogis. - posted by denise on 2/5/2007
Too much talking for an advanced video
This workout is fairly advanced...yet the instructor talks all the way through it as if its a beginner's instructional tape. She barely takes a breath between sentences. If you're experienced enough to do this yoga, you probably do not want/need the constant stream of yakking. Its too bad, too, because if it weren't for that, I might have enjoyed this tape. - posted by Rachel on 2/21/2006
I hate this video!!
I hate this video!!! 90 of the poses are standing poses and you do each pose about 20 times each. My knees couldn't take it anymore after about 20 minutes. The video got absolutely boring. HOWEVER, I must say that if you can stand to do this video you do get quite a workout. I can't stand it to even get past the first 10 minutes anymore. - posted by on 6/7/2005
Challenging, you will feel great when it's over
This is not an easy workout. I have been doing yoga for 30 years, but nothing called 'power yoga.' I think that is a western invention. That said, the tape is very challenging. So many twisting chair poses, too many in my opinion, and yet you will be glad you did them. They make the body stronger. The instructor is lovely, very kind, very clear, and very helpful. The demonstraters are easy to follow, and no one has an 'attitude.' I never look forward to the tape, because I still have a penchant for more relaxing yoga, but I do it regularly because it is good for my body and I have a real sense of accomplishment upon completion. - posted by Kristen on 5/29/2005
GREAT WORKOUT!!!
This is a great workout!! I workout six days a week and I am always looking for something challenging....this is definitely it!!! If you like Yoga and want something challenging, then get this DVD! - posted by Natalie on 1/18/2005

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.
