Product Description
Movie DVD
Amazon.com
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

 the guy is creepy September 2, 2010

Not for beginners and not good August 27, 2010
Andrea (New Jersey)
There is no doubt that Bryan Kest is good at yoga, but based on this video I am very skeptical of his skill as a teacher. I am familiar with yoga, and I'm not in terrible shape, and there is NO way this video is for beginners. I didn't like anything about it - not the look, not the music, and especially not the constant talk this guy keeps up nonstop as he's walking around. It wasn't so much as helpful instruction, as weird new-agey babbling. As I tried to replicate some of the moves, it would have been helpful to see a whole person, rather than various body parts of the lithe, professional dancer types undulating through the difficult routine. I actually laughed out loud at one "beginner" move that I was supposed to be able to do, I would maybe be able to achieve it with human growth hormones and several months of weight training to build up my arm strength.
 Very uninspiring August 23, 2010

Did this dvd once and had a hard time getting through it. Not difficult however, very uninspiring.
Hollywoodized Yoga August 20, 2010
Frederick M Snyder
I guess the MTV intro with the video footage of Kest approaching the back
door of his studio set the whole tone. The instruction though good is drowned
out by the jazzy Rock beat and background music. Hard to concentrate on inner
peace and relaxation when the opposite is being broadcast. Kest seems sincere
but the whole scene reeked of ego. If you're looking for the spiritual aspects
of Yoga I would forget about this one.
Great Video for all levels August 11, 2010
Rain
My friend has been doing this video for at least five years, and I always forgot to ask her for the name. Finally remembered one day and ordered it. She is a yoga instructor and loves this video. She has moved on now because the highest level is to easy for her now. I am on level 1 and its really hard, but really good!
