Product Description
Movie DVD

Anyone wanting to get in shape like the stars need go no further than Bryan Kest's videos. Kest teaches wildly popular yoga classes in Santa Monica, California--so popular that stars like Rhea Perlman, David Duchovny, and Elisabeth Shue willingly sweat alongside the hoi polloi in Kest's packed, ancient loft studio. If you don't happen to be in the neighborhood, not to worry: Kest's yoga videos are nearly as good as being there. Volume 1: Energize is a beginner level class that nonetheless is smartly designed to provide challenges for all levels of users. Kest's Jersey-boy voice at first seems in contrast to the serene environment and inner-peace objectives, but it gradually becomes soothing and hypnotic in its own right. Stretches and strengthening moves are alternated with just enough repose to keep even first timers on track. After mastering Vol. 1, practitioners can go on to Volume 2: Tone or Volume 3: Sweat to further challenge themselves. As long as you keep in mind Kest's personal mantra--"If you're doing the best you can, you're doing this class perfectly"--you and this video should have many satisfying years of workouts together. --Anne Hurley

 Repetitive March 7, 2010
K. McCann (San Francisco, CA)
First of all, to say there are 3 complete workouts on this video is a bit misleading. Technically, this is a true statement- however the 3 workouts are all *very* similar to one another, so it's not like you're getting 3 different workouts. This video is hard to follow because the audio isn't very good- rather than explaining the moves clearly, Brian Kest spends most of the time trying to be profound and inspirational. But he comes off as creepy. He seems to be completely unaware of the fact that if I'm in a downward dog, I can't see the screen, so the audio needs to be spot on.
The overall production value of the DVD is very low (the video is grainy and low quality). Pretty disappointed.
 One of my all-time favorites March 3, 2010

I was recommended this DVD about 6 months ago from a good friend who has been doing this DVD since it came out in the mid-90's. She swore by it, said it was one of her all-time favorite yoga workouts...she wasn't kidding!
This DVD has 3 different workouts, basically easy, medium and hard. Honestly though? The Easy is NOT all that easy. It's a tough workout, from start to finish, true to its name "Power Yoga". After doing The first workout twice a week for the last 3 weeks, my muscles are getting so much more strong, firm, and their shaping up beautifully! I just began working on the second workout, and I LOVE it. It's probably my favorite of the three. I still can't quite do the third one, it's incredibly difficult. We got to "Crow pose" and I immediately went back to the second workout, haha. However, in keeping up with this, I have no dbout that I'll be able to do the third workout in no time!
My boyfriend loves this DVD and asks to do it with me frequently throughout the week. He's your classic weight-lifting kind of person, and he thinks this is a great DVD. So it's certainly breaks the stereotype that yoga is only for females (although anyone who really does yoga knows that's a silly
stereotype). This DVD kicks his butt everytime too!
Also, I can't forget, Bryan is an excellent teacher! He teaches in a very calming manner, constantly reminding the student to focus on their breathing, that if you're breathing is stressed then you need to relax your muscles and face and let go. He also is consistently reminding us that everyone is at different levels and there is no such thing as a perfect pose. The things he discusses during the workouts are key to doing any yoga practice!
Highly recommended, get it, keep it at the top of your pile of workout dvds, do it a few times a week and you won't regret it!

I love yoga, love, love, love.
The yoga looks good in this video however... Watching this guy and the other males go through the positions makes me feel weird. The white outfits only makes me feel weirder. I found the best video in existence for yoga (beats most classes) but I'm just going to keep that as my little secret.

Brian Kest was one of the first disciples of Patabi Jois. He translates the real filosofy of Yoga into a language and interpretation available to everybody. His class is rich and every time I follow it, I learn something new. He is one of the best Yoga teachers I`ve ever seen. This video is a must for Yoga followers.
Good Intense Yoga Practice But Very Challenging For Beginners! February 15, 2010
Bold Consumer (Oklahoma City, OK USA)
Bryan Kest makes me smile with some of his comments, but the workout is challenging enough for just about anyone. I think it's too challenging for yoga beginners, unless you are very athletic and up for it.
All-in-all, you'll either love the teaching style of Bryan Kest, hate it, or, like me, enjoy it for a change. You can work up a sweat with this one.
