Summary: Downward Facing "Doggy"?
Review: He lost me with Downward Facing "Doggy". It got worse with his use of the word "fricken". Then I couldn't take any more when he started talking about making love to his lover. All the while I'm having to listen to his irritating lisp. Terrible CD! Doesn't move along at all, boring!

Summary: new places cooking...
Review: I am well acquainted with the videos and DVD's of Bryan Kest and he is one of my favorite yoga teachers. His style is very warm and relaxing, not uptight. He concentrates in this CD on the breathing first and foremost, then the poses, stressing that you should follow what your own body needs and can do. That said, this is a really good, intense workout that makes muscles sore that you didn't even know that you had. I am not usually one to do ninety minutes of working out on a regular basis, but the time goes fast in this workout. None of the poses are especially difficult to do, although there are a few that I did in the modified format. Advanced power yoga refers, as Bryan says, to your body awareness. I am aware of mine - it is still sore! (but in a good way!) The workout leaves you relaxed yet invigorated and I feel that I can concentrate easier on the poses in this audio only format where I am not distracted with someone else's form. Another interesting aside is that this CD recording is of an actual class - you can hear Bryan interacting with the students, helping with poses, you can even hear the bus go by outside once or twice! It feels as if you are there ---and I find that his narrative is comforting, but also humorous sometimes and helps break up any tension you might be feeling going into the pose. A welcome Workout to anyone's collection.
Namaste.

Review: Yes, new places are cooking! I thought I was in good shape until I tried this one! I never did so many chaturangas in one class! Yes, my muscles are sore also! The fact that there is no music on this CD did throw me at first, but I got used to it. Also, Brian's voice is not as soothing and melodious as Shiva Rea's or Rodney Yee's but he is quite entertaining! I also like the fact that he brings the true practice of Yoga to us in a down to earth way. In short, I loved every minute of it!
