Product Description

Amazon.com

"Power Yoga" has gradually become the aerobics of the new millennium, driven by a no-pain-no-gain ethos that emphasizes sweat and strengthening over yoga's more subtle benefits. But this two-part, 40-minute Yoga Zone program takes a more mild approach, hewing to the philosophy that the power of power yoga depends less on aggressive, strenuous poses than on conscious awareness of oneself and the vital link between breath and movement. Both parts rely on brisk, flowing repetitions of several vinyasas (connected series of poses). The first includes some standing positions (mountain, warrior I and II, etc.), lunges, twists, side stretches, and the camel backbend; those new to yoga will find the sequence alternating between the downward dog and plank positions to be fairly demanding, but there's nothing outrageously hard here. The second part again concentrates on the downward dog, one of the essential poses in yoga, along with twists, stretches (like the "blown palm," a standing side stretch), forward bends, lunges and so on. The virtue of repeating vinyasas-- i.e., moving in and out of several poses, one breath at a time--is that it reinforces proper breathing patterns, and the instructors do a good job of reminding you when to inhale and exhale, which is not so simple as it might sound. More warm-up time would be helpful--beginners and experienced yogis alike should do some stretching before starting--but once you get going, the DVD menu allows for easy selection of either part, or the various series within them. You can also do the practice without the instruction, accompanied only by the music. --Sam Graham

    5.0 out of 5 stars Yoga Zone is great
    Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

    I really feel like Yoga Zone is the way to go if you want to try practicing yoga at home. I like this particular dvd. The sessions are a nice duration and the instructions are detailed. It might take a few times to get comfortable with it and to be able to fully keep up. Yoga Zone is always good with giving detailed instructions on the postures and breathing which I find to be much more effective. I compared this to a Jillian Micaels power yoga dvd and found her version to be far too aggressive. Yes, it was a harder and maybe "better" workout, but she didn't give much detail in her instructions (which, like I said is an important part and not only gets you the best stretch results it also prevents injury) and she even said to DO some things that Yoga Zone instructors actually, specifically, tell you NOT to do. They just make the best yoga discs that I've tried. These ones are older (I used to use the VHS tapes) the quality, music etc might be a little cheesy, but they're effective and relaxing.

    Yoga Zone is my favorite video series to use. You can do both segments or just one. I have ordered all of the available titles in the Yoga series, but Power Yoga is my favorite.

    Yoga Zone: Introduction to Power Yoga

    Al Bingham leads the first part, followed, again, by Jen Moness. This segment has not neglected its underlying pedagogical focus. He offers the inspiring notion that the 'power' of power yoga comes from within. This sequence builds the ideas and the postures already presented, but it is faster and uses more repetitions. The second part, led by Lisa Bennett, wraps up the series, gently returning to the vital link between movement and breath.

    Al's lineup of postures includes a review of the old, and some new additions. Among the highlights, in my opinion, lies his approach to the classic shift between downward dog and plank pose. He models this flow, explains it, and leaves it. This dynamic set of moves is present in almost every yoga program I have seen, and never once, except for now, has the technique been adequately explained. He and Jen flow into and out of warrior I and warrior II, and do a knee strengthening chair pose, and forward bends.

    He reiterates the focus of the program, this time stating that the ''power'' in power-yoga is being aware of what the body is doing. They do three reps of shifting between downward dog and plank, and return to demonstrating the correct postural alignment in these fundamental positions. Continuing from the earlier programs, he and Jen also return to seated bends and spinal alignment-postures, such as a modified push-up.

    Lisa returns to lead the last twenty minutes of the series. She brings Jen with her. Her routine is slow but effective, and conscientiously revisits the goals presented at the beginning, to find a balance between resistance and serenity.

    She and Jen fluidly move between double leg extensions, a hamstring stretch, and the dynamic bridge. They return to the bent leg supine twist, of the first program. However, instead of using this lying twist as a relaxing posture, they do several repetitions, turning it into a dynamic one. They also do several sequences to build flexibility in the spine. As in earlier programs, they use the effective stretching and folding of the thunderbolt posture, and add the (dynamic) cat. Lisa reviews downward dog, but emphasizes the extension of the spine without neglecting the positioning of the back of the legs. They also return to the lone palm, plank, warrior, and standing forward bends.

    She and Jen conclude the program sitting in a cross-legged position. They take a moment to remember that link between the breath, the mind and the body, that Lisa claims, is secret to health and clarity. It is like, as she states in the end, ''washing your consciousness.''

    2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title
    Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2003
    When I read the title "Power Yoga" I assumed that I'd be getting an intense workout. I was wrong, I didn't even break a sweat. Power Yoga, is about connecting the body with the breath. The poses are very, very easy and very slow. The first instructor is really annoying and the dubbing for the second half is poorly done. Yoga Zone has a few good DVD's but this isn't one of them.

    Good cd for those beginning yoga; good explanation of moves and poses. Nice scenery and music. Not real challenging for anyone who has done yoga very long, but nice sequences of stretching and perfecting basic yoga skills.
