5 Stars great workout
love the original power yoga series with Bryan. This is a great addition and a fun challenge.
1 Star absolutely disappointed
I was looking forward to a challenging workout with a beautiful flow. What I got was a discombobulated, off the cuff attempt at a workout. I couldn’t even get past the first 15 minutes. I have been a devoted Kest fan since I got the power yoga with the three workouts. The three workout video is truly a piece of art; beautifully choreographed flowing from one pose to another with a continual flow of pertinant advice on posture and how to increase the level of the workout. The intensive sculpting video seems as if it were made by look alike. The continual chatter had very little to do with the workout as in the first. Even worse, the first video is spoken so smoothly and calmly. In the intensive sculpting video Kest somehow speaks as though he has something nasty in his mouth and doesn’t even enunciate clearly. The calm embued by the first video is markedly reversed by the hopped up on caffeine, practically vibrating yogi who can’t seem to stop. Wishing to find another like the first.
5 Stars Great, Delivers as promised
I have lost 102 lbs the ‘western way’ by changing my eating choices and hardcore aerobic and resistance exercises. I am now maintaining my weight loss and found myself tired of the joint pounding. I wanted something less stressful and more soothing yet effective. After doing my homework I tried Bryans 123 series. It was wonderful and I highly recommend it. I just recently tried this one for variety, and I was cooked. I worked muscles I never knew I had with such grace and ease. I was incredibly sore the next day in particularly in my back and rear areas just from ’stretching’. I have also noticed that yoga has allowed me to lose 1 more inch of fat around my toughest area, my tummy in 4 weeks. I am hooked. I am not at all put off by Bryans teaching throughout the tape. His careful instruction allowed me to not have to look at the screen most of the time so I could focus on my intention of the movement. He is a treasure. I highly recommend this for anyone, at any level. The wonderful thing about what i have learned about the yoga practice is Everyone is Successful at it. Just do your best and you will benefit.
I will be purchasing more of his work. HE IS A TEACHER!!! Enjoy. I hope this helps.

1 Star Yakkity-Yak
I have Kest’s Power Yoga Complete Collection and bought this for another routine. Don’t waste your money on this DVD. It has pretty much the same routines as Complete Collection, but with so much yakking I can’t stand to listen to it. I couldn’t even finish the DVD the first time.
Bryan has a need to fill every second of the recording with his voice. He tells you to do the routine calmly, but with his incessant chatter I don’t see how anyone could relax. His Complete Collection is the best yoga DVD I have and this one is the worst.
4 Stars Too much Yapping, but great workout
The guy talks way too much…. and also insists that we focus and forget everything else… how the %$*& do i focus when he refuses to keep shut.
But if you can get past that…. this is an awesome workout! I’d buy it again…. Unfortunately you cant mute this thing, because u need to hear the instruction(atleast some part of it) to do the right poses at the right time
