I wanted to review this one because there was only one so far. That review went through the breakdown pretty well so I'll just add my thoughts.
I am a big fan of Baptiste's Soul of Strength and, on days when I don't want to work so hard, Power & Precision. I would almost call this one Soul of Strength Lite. There are some great hip openers in here and I often do this workout as an add on for cardio or weight days. You will use your muscles in the sun salutations and balances - this is still power yoga - but it's all done in something like 25 minutes. That I like as an add on to limber up. Most power yoga vids are at least 45 minutes and when there isn't time, I love to use this one !
As for the music, yes, the chanting style is different but I have gotten used to, in fact I have come to like it. I think just hearing it could mellow me out !
This one is a keeper for me, I use it at least once a week !
Instructor Comments:
Baron's cues are excellent and precise - easy to follow and calm. I am, admittingly, a big fan and this is one of his better workouts.
