This variation on the popular power-yoga style, as is the unfortunate case with many yoga tapes, moves both into and through its program too quickly, with virtually no warm-up or introductory instruction (especially in breathing techniques) for the uninitiated. For that reason, among others, it is not recommended for newcomers. The more experienced, however, will certainly get the "challenging, athletic workout" the tape promises. Instructor Lisa Bennett is cheerful as she conducts a vigorous series of sun salutes, balancing poses, backbends, hip and abdominal poses, and such; you'll keep moving almost constantly, and if breaking a sweat is your goal, you can't go wrong here. The overall tone, however, is rather like an infomercial, which could become irritating over repeated viewings. --Sam Graham

Good workout December 18, 2008
This is a power workout, it will definately let your muscles know yoga @ this level is challenging. It's a good challenge though. If you're thinking of taking it to the next level this is the dvd for you.

Great power yoga DVD! October 3, 2008
Like some other reviewers already said, this one looks easier than it actually is! I still have only the VHS version and it's much loved to where I will soon have to get it on DVD!
I consider myself a fairly fit person; running and working out with weights, yet this tape always gets me sweating and working hard too!
I love all Yoga Zone workouts and I think you can't go wrong with any of them! :)

i love this DVD September 8, 2008
I am a 40 y/o male in decent shape-completed my first triathlon this summer and work out with weights regularly. I bought this DVD some 2 years ago as my introduction to yoga and have continued to use weekly without disapointment. Even with the experience I have with the DVD some poses on side 2 remain a little outside my ability but I skip the most difficult and still end up with a 45 minute challenging routine, which is ok as I enjoy the challenge of improving. I think this DVD is great for people with a decent base, but maybe a little much for those with back problems or new to exercise. BTW I am a chiropractor by profession.

One of my favorites January 27, 2008

I started doing yoga with the Yoga Zone "for beginners" series a couple of years ago. I definitely recommend that series for people new to yoga (particularly "Total Body Conditioning," also with Lisa Bennett), and I still use them sometimes on days when I'm too tired for a really challenging workout.

Now that I am more advanced, I was delighted to find that this MUCH more difficult Lisa Bennett video is out there. The way she arranges the postures into a flow is wonderful-- I find the time goes very quickly doing this video. When I first started, I could only do the first 35 minutes: the warm-up. Then I would collapse on the floor dripping sweat, and with my legs shaking. It is very difficult to spend ~18 minutes working just one leg, and at first you may hate it. But it's worth it-- it will really give you the results in your legs and thighs that you want to see. After just one workout, you feel a difference.

The poses Lisa proceeds to in the remainder of the session are also advanced. On a couple of them I still can't do even the modified version-- so I have to make up an even more modified version to build strength until I can get there. Even so, I look forward to doing it, and love the feeling that I will be able to do the whole thing soon.

My only beef with this practice is that the only specific ab work is one boat pose near the very end of the video. I assume that I am supposed to be getting abdominal strengthening by keeping my abdomen firm during poses, which I try to do, but this doesn't do enough to get rid of that (baby-related) stomach fat that is one of my main motivations for exercising in the first place. However, this isn't enough for me to reduce my number of stars on this one.
