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.

Certified instructor description:
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.

I love this video its awesome! - posted by amber on 2/3/2011
Not what I expected
I am sending this video back (thanks to Collage's nice return policy) because the routine was LOADED with chair pose after chair pose after chair pose. It is one of my least favorite poses and so it was really irritating to me to have to do it constantly! - posted by Doris on 1/20/2011
Sun Salutes!!
This video offers alot of sun salutes and keeps building on from there. Its a good workout, you'll sweat. I've been working out to videos for alot of years and find some yoga doesn't move enough and isn't challenging - this one does that. The instructor's voice is nice and she provides lots of ques to make you more body aware. - posted by Juanita on 10/12/2010
Strong workout
The workout will make you sweat and the instructor is very detailed in her explanations and her cues are excellent. There are two others in the workout that demonstrate both a modified and an advance approach to the moves and the only distraction was the instructor favored the more advanced partner and he was not exactly a vision. I know it must sound immature of me but when I use a workout dvd I want the instructors and cast to be a visual of what I am trying to achieve by using their program. - posted by Michelle on 9/2/2010
IDeal for Strength oriented yoga
I have two dozen yoga dvd workouts b/c I am a yoga junkie! I love it for the stretch and strength exercise, but I particularly like this one as a staple to supplement my triathlon training. The instructor gives good coaching on form which most dvds are lacking in. It is continual movement and "all business" with a decent amount of challenge. My 23 year old daughter could do it (she doesn't work out as much as I do in her stage of life with a career) and I could do it with her (I ride century bike rides and run a lot of 5k and 10k races). It's a good dependable workout for an hour where many are broken up into little segments. - posted by nancy on 6/24/2010
Intense workout
Good long intense workout. Instructor's cuing is spot-on. Only wished there were less repetition of poses and more time given to doing other poses. - posted by Judy on 3/21/2010
Challenging yoga practice...
I've had this DVD about a year and I pull it out from time to time to do as it's very challenging, but something to work up to. I like the setting and the music. The instructor does a great job, despite the fact she does talk a lot, but does offer modifications. I'm giving this 4 stars as there is no warm up which is crucial for this type of advanced practice. - posted by Tess on 8/3/2009
Very Challenging Yoga
I first owned this workout when it was new on VHS, maybe ten years ago. I was new to fitness then, and had taken some yoga classes that I loved. I wanted to save money, and started doing this. It was SO hard. I did it faithfully a few times a week for months and months, then moved on to other things, and stopped doing yoga. Now that I'm back to incorporating yoga into my routine, I started thinking about this one, and just bought it again. It is hard, yet rewarding. I still find myself taking little breaks while doing it, but I think this is the best power yoga DVD available. I love the instructor, and she gives great explanations about each pose. - posted by Jamie on 7/24/2009
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

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.
