Bryan Kest, He’s the Best
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
As a yoga DVD junkie with a huge collection, this one is up at the top of the list. A must have if you are into power/vinyasa flow yoga. The 3 routines are progressive but each will give you a good yoga workout. Great cuing, a good selection of class attendees (novice to advanced practitioners – look for Seane Corn). Well produced. This is just a great DVD and the one I reach for if I’m unsure of the workout I want.
Guru Kest.

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.
Repetitive
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
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.
Exceeds my expectations
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Bryan Kest really gets to the nuts and bolts of Yoga with his personalized Yoga Poses. He challenges the novice and the experienced with his easy to follow and well instructed Yoga DVD. The DVD is is sectioned into 3 different levels for different results. Just start at the beginning breath and enjoy the ride.
Best Yoga DVD I Own
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Excellent DVD. I always feel great after doing this. If I have skipped a week or so (it happens with busy people) I am sore the next day after starting back, so it definitely works you out as well.
Best I’ve seen
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I may be more of an advanced yoga student than I thought, but most of the DVDs out there (e.g., The Firm) seem really easy and boring. This one isn’t. It’s hard, fast-paced, and you’ll see results. Probably not for beginners, as others have pointed out.
Bryan Kest is a treat
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Everything about Bryan Kest – from his accent to the way he leads his classes – is a total treat. He walks his talk and, even though this is not “hot yoga” you’ll be sweating buckets if you make it through the more advanced 2nd and 3rd classes. Highly recommended.
Bryan Kest is the best

I wanted to purchase another yoga practice to switch my routine up. I love the fact that bryan has three different workouts, so you can accommodate to how you are feeling on any given day. I must say the sweat portion of his practices, you really sweat. I have been practicing for 7 months regularly now and love it. I am stronger and more flexible than I ever have been. And the calmest of mind is wonderful. I have always been in good physical shape but now I feel more healthy. Good DVD if you can deal with his loving tone. I like it but some might not.
What’s with the music?
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
I like the yoga sequences in this DVD I find them chanllanging, and invigorating. However, the first 2 sequences “energize” and “tone” are very similar, “tone” just inlcudes a little more standing balance exercies. I like the the third sequence the best, “sweat”, which inclues partial headstand and arm balance exercies.
The one thing I don’t like about this DVD is the music. It sounds like music from a bad 80s action movie.
Ummm.

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.
One of my all-time favorites
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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!
He Will Haunt Your Dreams
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Awesome workout. Well crafted. Sadly, it’s one of the better DVDs on the market. I have just one caveat…
WARNING: Do not look him in the eye. His yogi eyes and manly eyebrows will stare at you through your TV and into your soul. You will be mesmerized by all the hairless, bare chested men bending and stretching. This is to say nothing of the woman in the awesomely tacky thong.
SPOILER ALERT!: The best scene is at the end of the third workout where a shirtless Brian Kest leans on another shirtless dude and puts his cheek on the guy’s back with Bryan’s awesome curly hair cascading down the other dude’s back. If you put that in a parody about yoga, it’s so over the top that no one would believe it.
Bryan Kest Power Yoga
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I’ve been doing yoga for years, in studio and by dvd. This is one of the worst videos of yoga I’ve seen. It looks like it was done in a warehouse in…well, I won’t say what state. Just can’t take a guy serious who shows up looking like “Fabio” wearing knee length blue jeans w/ white spandex showing underneath. I’ll stick w/ Rodney Yee or Jonathan Urla (yogalates) when doing yoga at home. If I could get my money back on this I would. After reading the reviews I really expected something better; this is a very disappointing video!
great for all stages
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
love this DVD; his voice gets a little annoying at times, but you are able to concentrate on the poses more than any other yoga dvd i’ve done. they last the perfect time, one hour each session. he motivates you and gives you the will to keep going.
Good Intense Yoga Practice But Very Challenging For Beginners!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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.
Good yoga, mediocre DVD quality
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Bryan’s power yoga always gives me a good work out at the studio, and this DVD more or less provides a similar level of workout.
The sequences of the poses, and Bryan’s explanation, are very good. Bryan’s constant reminder of adapting the asanas to your own body, and his emphasis of breathing are extremely valuable for someone who is still learning the ropes about yoga.
The DVD editing, and the video quality can be improved, however. Sometimes I think due to trying to fit 3 sessions onto a single DVD, the editor had to cut some repetitions, making following the exact movement and breathing a bit difficult. This may have contributed some other users’ complaints about not having enough warm up. Video and audio quality are mediocre, especially the voice recording is not always the best, even metalic sometimes. With that said, it is a good value for having all 3 levels in one. I wouldn’t mind paying a little more for a better production quality video though.
All about Brian Kest
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
Brian Kest is clearly an accomplished yoga practitioner. This DVD seems to feature about 50% Brian — talking, philosophizing, walking (strutting?) among his students, and yes, doing poses. With all that, no mention of ashtanga. I guess he’s photogenic or something, but I didn’t buy the DVD to look at Brian. I got it for the yoga. The first segment is NOT a beginner-level experience. The transitions from one pose to the next are rushed. The poses aren’t explored or explained in detail (why we’re doing this, what to emphasize or watch for, etc.) The editing seems to feature Brian, not the viewer’s practice, at every opportunity. At the end, there’s the traditional calm period, where he talks about how we should relax for a bit, but it’s edited in half, so relaxing is suddenly over. In all, a disappointing DVD. And on top of that, the DVD was $17.95 when I bought it 33 days ago, and now it’s $6.99. Bummed!
Corny, slow video
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I did not like this video at all. The flow is way too slow for me, and he spends too much time just walking around and talking. You don’t really need a specific level of yoga to do it, since it seems to be all about the flexibility (even if he says it’s not).
All the people featured in the video seem to be extremely flexible (more like ballet dancer flexible not so much yoga), and the quality is mediocre at best. It feels like a cheap 80′s setting.
I did not enjoy, I did not sweat and I really won’t do it again. If anyone wants my DVD they can have it for free.
Not even comparable to Rodney Yee.
soooo good
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you like to sweat and challenge yourself with yoga, here ya go. Great instruction. My favorite thing about him is that he expresses that wherever you are in your practice right now is just perfect. You don’t need to be anyone else. This is challenging and rewarding, and I say go for it.
Good Video
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have never done yoga before. I decided that I would like to try it. I purchased the video and really enjoyed it. I am not able to do everything. I enjoy the way he teaches and explains that everyone is different, having different abilities. I would recommend this video.
