This video is very challenging and it moves at a quick pace. Baron begins with a long standing forward bend. Then you jump right into the upward and downward facing dog series and repeat this several times. This really gets your heart rate up and warms you right up. Later you move into some other challenging poses like eagle, tree, warrior, sun salutations, camel, and pigeon pose. There was one pose that I could not do. It is a backward bend where you bend back so far that only your feet and hands are touching the floor. The last part of the workout is floorwork, but don't think you will get a break here. This section includes cobra to strengthen your back, and a slow motion bicycle exercise to work your obliques. Finally, you get to the very deserving final relaxation pose.
The poses in this video require a lot of balance. There are a lot of standing on one leg poses and other poses that incorporate squats and lunges (and even calf raises). You will feel your leg muscles working hard throughout the workout. Overall, I think this is an excellent intermediate/advanced power yoga workout that will increase your strength and flexibility. The production quality is not the greatest (picture could be a little criper and clearer), but this did not bother me. One small thing that did bother me was the fact that everyone was wearing white - it kind of made the video look boring. Baron says that the workout is called "hot yoga" because you are suppossed to do it in a warm room so that your muscles will become more pliable and you will be more flexible. (I didn't find it necessary to practice in a hot room, because my muscles were plenty warm in my nice, cool workout room!)

Instructor Comments:
Great instructor. His cueing was great, he walks you through the poses step by step (even though he does it quickly). He is also very encouraging. He keeps reminding you to only go as far as you can go, and, if you fall out of a pose just get back up and try again.
