Power Yoga: Fat Burner Review
I just got into doing yoga 3-4 times a week during the last 6 months, and I bought this and 2 other dvds to use while my teacher is on a summer retreat.
This workout is quite challenging, and always leaves my heart pounding and my entire body covered in sweat! Like the some of the other reviewers, I liked that Adrienne has a choice of a 20, 40, or 60 minute workout on the tape. I also like that the folks on the video all look like regular people and not like hardcore yogis (which is nice for someone like me who is trying to get back into shape!)
Even though Adrienne is a bit more like an aerobics instructor than a mellow yogi, I like the workouts that she has put together, and that she enhances a lot of traditional yoga positions with some other non-yoga movements to keep your heart rate going. This is definitely not for someone who hasn't worked out at all in a while, or who doesn't know any yoga at all--I think it would be way too challenging for a total novice to keep up with.
The things that I didn't like about this tape are that Adrienne doesn't participate in the workouts, but rather just walks around and directs her students. This isn't a bad thing, but since I'm always working on trying to improve my poses, I like to see people doing yoga who really know what they're doing.
In addition, for the first 5-8 minutes of the dvd, there are commercials for Adrienne's merchandise, and you cannot skip through it. That is EXTREMELY annoying, especially for someone who wants to use this tape many times.
The one weird thing about this tape is that in the "bonus features" section, you see Adrienne by herself in the studio, doing some advanced yoga positions, but it doesn't seem meant for you to follow along--she does it without talking and there's no explanation. It goes on for about 5 minutes and then just ends. Kind of strange, I think.

great workout - C. Hernandez - Vancouver, WA, USA
This DVD includes 3 completely different workouts, each of them challenging in their own way. They all use sun salutes to warm up, but each workout uses it in a different way. I appreciated the creativity and the challenge. I like Adrienne Reed as an instructor because she is very straightforward, and describes each movement thoroughly, with good cueing before something new is about to happen. I am not into the meditative, chanting part of yoga, just a nice, hard workout, and I love this one.
Great workout - Joyflyer - Townville, SC
While I find the instructor mildly annoying, I LOVE this workout. She covers all parts of the body, so that you feel great afterward. I have a couple of her DVDs, along with several other instructors, that I rotate through. I am always happy when I get to this one.

Power yoga fat burner - Melania Lopez - San José, Costa Rica
This video is just too fast-paced. I've done (and like) other power yoga videos which are not slow, but this is almost aerobics, no holding of any pose at any time.
You do break a sweat for sure though, but I'd rather then just go for a run...
