This has a very different feel than Baron's other practices, though many of the familiar poses are here. It is almost like the instructional component to Soul of Strength or Unlocking Athletic Power, but this is not really a vinyasa flow practice. Baron instructs two women on a very spare set, and has you hold each pose for a long time while he explains it which can get awfully tiring. Periodically he throws in some non-traditional core and upper body strengthening moves that are pretty tough. I don't have a problem with Soul of Strength, but I had to stop a few times during this one.

The audience for this video is apparently people who are already pretty fit and are interested in seeing what yoga can do for them, but might be turned off by any "woo-woo" factor. The instruction has a very atheletic focus, and even the music is of the bland, gym beat variety. No Ram Dass here! Since it offers more instruction than the Live! series (SoS, UAP & CP), it might be a good place for yoga beginners to start, but they should probably be fairly fit beginners!

Instructor Comments:
Baron does not stop talking for the entire 50 minutes. Better instruction and explanation than in most of his other videos, but he is definitely tailoring it for a more athletic, new-to-yoga audience.
