This is the second program in Baron Baptiste's older "Hot Yoga" Series. In my opinion it's the most challenging of the three from that series, though they all present their own challenges for sure :)

It's over an hour long and it is a very thorough practice that covers a large amount of poses.

While I would admit that I probably like most of his newer programs a bit more than this one, I still feel that it's an excellent program to work into one's Power Yoga rotation.

Instructor Comments:
Baron is my favorite overall Yoga teacher. I really like his energy and the way he puts programs together. If you like a challenge and want to flow then Baron will certainly give you what you are looking for. He's the son of Walt and Magana Baptiste, two of the early Yoga pioneers in the United States and grew up doing Yoga.
