Baron Baptiste: Foundations of Power Vinyasa Create a positive--and permanent--shift in your life. Filmed live at the fifth annual Yoga Journal San Francisco Conference, this unrehearsed 90-minute program captures the magnetism and wisdom of one of America's great instructors and will help you establish a strong foundation for your yoga practice. In this basic, flowing workout, you will discover how proper yoga technique and mindfulness can power your practice and empower your life.

The DVD includes: 36 poses, including Sun Salutations A & B, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists, and seated poses - fundamentals of effective alignment - stand-alone chapters, allowing you to start the class at any point - in depth interview with Baron Baptiste - and valuable resource materials for teachers.

Summary: To Baron ... With this DVD I am right there with you ... !
I'm normally not a fan of power yoga, preferring bendier and more intricate flows with shorter holds; and much of my nearly 3 years' regular yoga practice--mostly at home--is minus all this technology (DVD player, streaming video, etc.), but this DVD really kicked my butt, and I am more-or-less at an intermediate level. I had never used a Baron Baptiste product before, and it felt like I was right there at the conference and that Baron was reading the energy levels from my practice in front of my TV. This is a formidable, soulful and inspiring practice.

Summary: Okay yoga dvd
The yoga series presented was fine but this isn't the type of dvd I'd use over and over. Baron spends a lot of time talking and his mannerisms will get annoying after the second or third time through. I found myself sweating after the second sun salutation series but just couldn't get past how much he talks throughout the dvd.

Summary: Beware of the Title
Understand when purchasing this DVD that the emphasis is on the "Foundations" not the "Power Vinyasa". This DVD is big on explaining the positions more so than moving through them. So if you are new to yoga and need instruction on postures, then this is for you - the explanations are great. However, if you are a regular power yoga practitioner, the explanations will get in the way of a good vinyasa style workout for you.

Very nice DVD. but not as tough as the real classes (likely because of emphasis on didactics)

Summary: Awesome.
I really like practicing with this dvd. I haven't taken classes for years, have done hatha yoga off and on, and find this particular style of yoga and teaching really works for me. Its demanding, which is good for me (if its too easy, I'm not challenged enough to do it) and I like Baron's way of referring the student back to the inner experience, as well as good instructions on the physical alignment and breathing. I also use the Bootcamp cd set which has a 75 minute guided practice, and three 20 minute practices. The 75 minute class is very demanding, and the 20 minute ones seem way too short...but are good when I don't have a lot of time.
