Something just not right about this video, Jun 8 2004
This review is from: Baron Baptiste Level 1 Power Yoga The Initial Challenge DVD (DVD)
Whilst I believe that Mr. Baptiste has training in yoga instruction, I don't trust his methods. The minute I heard him say that "this move will hurt a little" I was certain that this was not the tape for me. Yoga should never hurt! You may feel a little pull, but not pain. A yoga instructor that warns you that something will hurt is only slightly better than one who doesn't warn you, but expects you to try something painful. Try Rodney Yee or MTV Power Yoga. They give alternative movements and never purposefully ask you to attempt a painful move. Don't buy this tape.

Well, it was instructional, Feb 24 2004
This review is from: Baron Baptiste Level 1 Power Yoga The Initial Challenge DVD (DVD)
I borrowed this DVD from a friend who didn't like it because she found the host annoying. The host indeed, was annoying. However, it is a good beginner workout and I will return it to its rightful owner with new knowledge of yoga moves that I can do on my own without Baron Baptiste's cries such as, "Power, People!" and "Unleash the monster within!"

could be better, Oct 27 2003
This review is from: Baron Baptiste Level 1 Power Yoga The Initial Challenge DVD (DVD)
I have heard nothing but good things about Baron Baptiste, so I decided to buy this DVD. I was very disappointed in him. He is so annoying thoughout this entire DVD. The poses and direction is good (it is basic) but his method of speaking is pretty irritating...not relaxing. I would recommend this DVD if you can get it at a low, used price. It's not terrible....but I expected more.
