It's challenging but not impossible. I was super sore the first few times I did just the first set.

I'm not a big fan of the fruity, earthy, fluffy stuff that goes along with yoga but I am a fan of the results. I had no idea you should and would work so many muscles in yoga as the other DVD's I've tried were way less challenging.

The first set is 50ish minutes and I thought that would be a bit long but the time flies by. This is a great DVD and I recommend it to beginners and beyond.

I'd never been sore from yoga before. I've tried a couple yoga DVD's and I have gotten way more results from this one than any others.

Before you have a chance to look at the time, you're just about done.

I'm so glad I did. It is a bit difficult as I'm not flexible at all but I am definitely looking forward to mastering some moves. After a recent urge to get into yoga, I decided to purchase this program through Amazon due to the reviews it has gotten. I've only tried it a few times but have felt great everytime.

It teaches you how to be in the moment without judging the moment, a skill that is fundamental to good mental health, and that you use surprisingly often while stuck in traffic or the dentist's chair. I would be uncomfortable with too much talk about the spiritual aspects of yoga, which is one reason I don't take classes, and a reason that I really like Bryan Kest. They aren't easy to do, however, and I don't think I'd recommend them to someone who didn't start out in pretty good shape. To my surprise, the most useful part to me was the breathing. I could tell what the pose was supposed to look and more importantly feel like, and I understood how to modify poses that were too challenging. Bryan Kest's cuing is clear and easy to follow, and he gives exactly the right amount of detail on how to do each pose. If you want an athletic but still calming yoga experience, try Bryan Kest. If you have back problems, you might want to look elsewhere.

I've found that when my back is feeling touchy, these classes will push it over the edge. From the first time I did the first video in this series, a few months after my fourth child was born, I understood it completely. I haven't had a very wide range of yoga experience I've never taken a live class, for example but I've used videos by a number of different teachers, and Bryan Kest is my favorite. These classes are straightforward, effective, and easy to follow.

More importantly, it has completely changed my way of life. I don't know why and maybe that is not the case for everyone, but I truly feel that my life has been changed by my practice. There is no need to dissuade people from trying this because it is not "true yoga." Who gets to decide that anyway. But as long as I felt good, I didn't worry about it. Diversity.tolerance.acceptance.isn't that "true yoga."

I gained 55 pounds during my pregnancy with my now two-year-old daughter. This summer, I began using this tape and I immediately began to lose weight. And now, my form has improved greatly. I am now back to a size 6 and down to my pre-pregnancy weight (I was 15 lbs. I had not done yoga before getting this set. To each their own.I greatly dislike many of the DVDs that folks who have dissed Bryan Kest's have recommended.

I have used Yoga Journal's website to read about each pose to educate myself further about body position and pitfalls to avoid. I went from a size 4-6 to a size 14. But overall, just doing the tape again and again, my body has learned the poses and grown into them.

It seems that the biggest discrepancy is whether or not Kest is truly doing yoga or if he is truly a yogi or an appropriate teacher. I had done pilates and have a good foundation of body awareness, so that helped in overcoming the fact that I did not have a teacher there to help me with my form.

over when I started this program). It has affected the way I eat, breathe, sleep, and look at the world. Really, I agree with the person who said that it is a personal thing.

I have to begin by addressing the wide array of reviews here. The last two years, I have really struggled to lose the weight and it has affected me emotionally as well.
