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.

He is the owner and director of two Baptiste Power Yoga Institutes in Massachusetts and is the author of three books. 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: Stop talking!
I have heard great things about Baron's classes so I was pumped to try this DVD. I made it 10 minutes. The initial poses weren't bad, but he wouldn't stop talking. It was like he loved to hear his own voice and felt like he had to keep a running dialogue of babble. I have nothing against suggestions for improving postures or even encouragement but Baron goes past this and into an annoying territory. I will not be doing this DVD again.

Summary: Absolutey Fantastic DVD
This DVD was recommended to me by a friend who has been doing yoga longer than I have, and has even attended a conference or two. I have taken classes locally and always enjoy the atmosphere of a class versus being home alone and doing yoga. Baptiste's DVD really puts me in the class because he guides me through every position, making sure my feet, hands and fingers are where they should be, how they should feel, and reminds me to breathe as I bring my spine home... He continually talks to his audience throughout the session, and one cannot help but feel very present and in his class right there! I really needed a DVD like this one if I wanted to do yoga at home because I am the type of "yogie" who needs to be guided otherwise I tend to "daydream" about this and that - not fulfilling the meditative purpose of yoga. He keeps me on track.. Plus at the end of the DVD Baptiste talks about how he uses yoga in his life, and what it means to him. He is fascinating; everything he says makes so much sense - well, to me anyway. This DVD is like an hour and a half of not only a full body massage, but a mind clearing, posture enhancing, spiritual journey that gets better every time I use it, and it hasn't lost its appeal yet! I don't believe it ever will. Namaste...

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.
