Volume 1: Energize is a beginner level class that nonetheless is smartly designed to provide challenges for all levels of users.

- Great workout
I bought this DVD a month ago and the workout routines are great. I have been only doing the first 2 routines and they are challenging. I have been pleasantly surprised at my improved flexibility, muscle tone and strength from these workouts. I highly recommend buying this DVD if you want to do a challenging and effective yoga workout.

If you are immune to his voice and posturing then i am sure there is a worthwhile few hours of yoge here for you. There are many teachers and DVDs that nudge the student into feeling the pose here we have Bryan strutting up and down the class like a bully.

Rating: - Where are the 3 programs?
I purchased this dvd a while back and should have returned it.I have now tried all 3 programs and they are exactly the same. So, either I received a defective dvd or there was some deception in advertising.
