There are two workouts on this DVD. The full workout is 40 mins - seems to be a bit slower with more explanation, although not too much. The short workout is 27 mins and has less instruction. He says "catch your breath" after each sequence, and counts often. I enjoy it. Its different.

For those that don't like sun sals, there aren't any in here. He does a couple of planks to upward dog, but not straight sun sals.

I found this to be a good 25 min workout. I didn't do the 5 minute standing meditation.

I did add a couple of camels, staff pose (as a counter stretch), roll back to shoulder stand, then plough, vinyasa to pigeon. After rolling the spine and a seated twist to each side, then savasana for a couple of minutes. I thought there needing to be more healing/finishing poses to close out.

Its a good short workout if you want to do yoga and kickboxing without changing DVDs.

Instructor Comments:
Give good instruction with attention to form. No extras which works great in this format.
