Recently i wanted to try something new. I do Aerobics, Circuits, Weights, Body Pump, etc..but don't find all that much time for stretching or yoga. Bryan Kest has a fantastic class on CD (i hate yoga videos, they always make me feel sooooooo inflexible!) called Long, Slow and Deep. Though i like power yoga, this is different. You don't actually get off you butt the whole class and its soooo hard and amazing. My body is looking better by the day. More lifted, open and i feel fantastic. Really try this class, its brilliant.

Thank you for your time.

I checked out the website & it looks like Bryan Kest will be in Long Island, NY on 8/22/04. I'd love to take his class but am a little hesitate because I don't think I'm advanced enough. What's different about this tape from doing other yoga videos? I'm only at an intermediate level; don't do any inversions & I only use Karen Voight's Yoga Focus, Baron Baptiste & Ali McGraw. Would this be for someone my level? Thanks for your help, Kathy:D
 
Slow and Deep is differnt as you don't do any Sun Salutation or lunges. You remain either sitting or on your back (please, no sex comments). Whats different is that you can spend up to 10 minutes in one pose and the release you feel is amazing. Open. Lifted. Leaner. This class is fantastic.
I love it.
I'm so inflexible...so you don't need to worry about that. Just try it and its perfect it being on CD too, so no competing with the super fit lean flexible people you see on these power yoga videos!

Hi Wayne! You convinced me to buy this CD; sounds right up my alley. Thanks again! Kathy (& see no sex comments);-)
 
Hi Kathy,

I also bought the Advanced Power Yoga CD and that is fab too. Not that i'm advanced, but i will be one day! I like this one because some days i want to be more active and other days i like to just lay down and stretch (long and deep)...let me know what you think. I have Bryans vidoes and though they are great, i found him a little too chatty! but these cds are fab and he's very funny. Who'd have thought! Plusi live in england and orderd these on Friday night and had them Tuesday morning, now thats service and its was through normal postal service!

Hi again Wayne! I had 2 tapes from Bryan Kest in the past & really didn't click w/him even though a lot of people like him. I'll let you know what I think of this CD & book. Thanks so much, Kathy:D
 
Oh man, now I want this one!!! AAARRRRGGGGHHH!!

I am very inflexible too so I identified with what you are saying Wayne. However, I find it difficult to even remain sitting indian style for too long, so I hesitate getting this. Does it stretch you out good or just build strength??

As you remain on your butt most of the class, it really doesn't build strength. However it does built strength of mind. In power yoga you usually hold a pose for 5 breaths or 45 seconds perhaps, with this CD you can be in a pose for anything from 2 minutes to almost 10 minutes! This is the hardest class ive ever done as my mind just wanted to get the hell out of there! But if you just hang with it, surrender, and wait for your body to open, it will happen. I'm still a long way from being flexible...as i can only just touch my toes (with rounded back!) but i use this CD as often as i can (the full 90 minutes) and when i don't have time, i use the open leg stretches after my cathe workouts as this stretches all the major legs muscles and takes 10 minutes. The advanced Power Yoga CD is very good and very funny. Don't let the title put you up, it just means that this class flows more than the basic one. Hope this helps.

Does anyone have Bryan's Spinal Strengthening CD? My husband has been experiencing lower back pain (he's only 28!), and we're trying to find a good relaxation/back strengthening workout. He walks for exercise and that's it; he's a newbie to strength and flexibility workouts.

Think I'll buy Long, Slow and Deep for myself, and watch dearest husband's face when I open the package! :D

Thanks.
