Not Dynamic, But Gentle Yoga Might Be Right For You
Kripalu Yoga is at the opposite end of the intensity spectrum from Power Yoga or Ashtanga Yoga. This practice works gently and very slowly, and does not utilize vinyasa, or the flowing linkage of poses. If you want a very gentle, relaxing and calming yoga experience, then this might be for you. This is a good tape for people who don't like the heat or intensity of flow yoga styles, or who want a break from that type of practice. It would be good to do this session in a well-heated room however, since the poses are done so slowly and gently that you might not develop the heat necessary to stretch your body easily. I didn't like the tape because it was too slow to generate the heat and sweat I need to facilitate a satisfying and healing yoga practice. The instructor's cuing was also a little too much like a session with Al Franken's character Stuart Smalley for my taste.

Excellent for Advanced Beginner or Intermediate Level
This video is a wonderful example of the gentle spirit of Kripalu yoga, allowing you time to explore each pose and use full deep breathing. However, if you think that by "dynamic" you are going to get something resembling power yoga or Ashtanga, you will be less than fully pleased. This tape is ideal for the advanced beginner or someone moving into intermediate level yoga. Learning to slow down and move deliberately and patiently is an important part of honoring yourself - a value taught in Kripalu yoga, and something that does not happen in the fast paced classes.

response to gorillagorillagorilla
I take a Kripalu Yoga class here in Hawaii, and it is absolutely wonderful. While I do not think this video is the best example of Kripalu out there, I feel that gorillagorillagorilla's review seemed to critque Kripalu Yoga itself in a very ignorant and uninformative way. Contrarty to gorilla's statements, it is neither for the emotionally or physically "fragile". Like *all* yoga, it depends a lot on *who* you learn it from and *how* they teach yoga. Kripalu, if done correctly, does work up a sweat though obviously not as much as Ashtanga - which I also practice. Kripalu is a very patient, interal, slow and calm form of yoga that can teach a lot about patience, being in the moment and concentration of movements. It's unfortunate that the above reviews from gorilla critiqued the style and not simply this tape. From a *healthy* and *very strong* (emotionally and physically) Kripalu Practictioner who studies Kripalu more than on a videotape.
