Customer Reviews of Baron Baptiste: Live - Soul of Strength

Excellent instructor leads rigorous practice for all levels
I own an older version of this tape, and it is one of my favorite yoga practices. I was hesitant to try this video at first given that I had seen it rated as "advanced"--although I have been practicing yoga for over two years, I still consider myself to be at an intermediate level at most. While I definitely found this workout to be challenging, as it says on the cover, it really is appropriate for all levels of yogis. Baron Baptiste is an excellent, down-to-earth instructor who moves around the class offering pointers, tips, and modifications to his students. He repeatedly emphasizes the importance of going at your own pace, and he calls out frequent instructions to beginners (e.g. "those new to the class, do this..."). This video would not be appropriate for those brand-new to yoga, as it assumes some prior familiarity with the poses; however, the majority of the postures are accessible to beginners/intermediates. Baron is quite encouraging and completely non-intimidating as he praises his students for working to the best of their abilities.

The workout moves along at a steady pace, but it was much easier to follow than some of the other vinyasa-style (aka power yoga) workouts I've tried; also, if you can make it through the rigorous first half, the second half of the program moves more slowly. Baron's excellent instruction helped me to attain some difficult poses that I'd never managed before, such as crow and reverse triangle. This is definitely a strenous workout that will cause you to work up a sweat; I find that the sun salutations at the beginning of the practice challenge my endurance, particularly given the frequent repetitions of downward-facing dog held for extended periods. I use this video on days when I want an exciting, energetic yoga routine and want to challenge myself to reach new levels of my yoga practice.

Good Yoga
I've got the older version of this tape which cost twice than this one. Anyway , I've been doing it for almost two years and i never got tired of doing it,until a few weeks ago when it got broken! This a very good 60 minute power yoga workout, Baron instructs a group of people with different levels, like in his other tapes, there's a quite challenging standing sequence followed by a series of backbends , ab work and some hip openers and stretches(and relaxation in the end of course).I think almost all levels could do this with modifications that are shown.There's Krishna Das music in the background which is nice, and with this cheap price it's definetley worth it.
