Power Stamina Yoga for Beginners will make you sweat--and that s the idea! Muscles stretch better when they re warm--and when you follow this demanding sequence of yoga positions, you will be. Power yoga is the rage among athletes such as runners, cyclists, and climbers, who find that it protects them from injury, promotes flexibility, and increases muscle strength and endurance. Based on the classical astanga system, it combines breath control with movement to bring body and mind into harmony. In only 20 minutes, this tape takes you through several sun salutations, standing strength poses, and even 4 minutes worth of conscious relaxation, leaving you feeling strong, energized, and centered. Plus, the background scenery is terrific--not just Rodney Yee himself, but also the pounding Maui surf behind him. A word of caution: though this tape says it s for beginners, it s most helpful for those who know some basic yoga positions already. The sequence moves quickly, and there s not a lot of time for learning a pose that s new to you or even for paying attention to form. --Mary Park
