Yoga Journal: Baron Baptiste’s Foundations of Power Vinyasa Yoga – Best Live Workout (2007)100 min

Create a positive and permanent shift in your life. Filmed live at the fifth annual Yoga Journal San Francisco Conference, this unrehearsed 90-minute program captures the magnetism and wisdom of one of America’s great instructors and will help you establish a strong foundation for your yoga practice. In this basic, flowing workout, you will discover how proper yoga technique and mindfulness can power your practice and empower your life. One of the leading yoga innovators in America, Baron Baptiste popularized the style of yoga known as Power Vinyasa Yoga, which is designed to create heat in the body and stimulate energy flow. He is the owner and director of two Baptiste Power Yoga Institutes in Massachusetts and is the author of three books. The DVD includes: 36 poses, including Sun Salutations A & B, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists, and seated poses – fundamentals of effective alignment – stand-alone chapters, allowing you to start the class at any point – in depth interview with Baron Baptiste – and valuable resource materials for teachers.Foundations of Power Vinyasa Yoga” is part of Yoga Journal’s Great Instructors series, a series of DVDs filmed at the annual Yoga Journal Conference in San Francisco. It features Baron Baptiste, a well-known yoga instructor of power yoga. Here he presents an 85-minute class which emphasizes form and foundation in each posture. Throughout the practice, Baron frequently mentions the spiritual benefits of each pose, and he focuses on the core through frequent reminders to engage uddiyana bandha. Baron generally leads the class from the middle of the room, but he occasionaly walks around the room making adjustments along with his three assistants. The video also features a “yoga demonstrator” on a dais at the head of the class for easy reference. This DVD is well-chaptered, and the introduction suggests that each chapter can stand alone as a shorter practice if necessary. The chapters are as listed below; I have added in approximate times as well as brief descriptive information. Warm Up (11m)

The practice begins in child’s pose and then moves on to a slow, meticulous setup of down dog. After coming to a standing forward bend and taking a few sun breaths, this segment ends with three chants of OM. Surya Namaskar A (5m)

A slow sun salutation flow with longer holds of plank and down dog. Surya Namaskar B (28m)

Here Baron begins to move fairly quickly through the vinyasa flows. He provides detailed instruction for warrior 1 and also includes crazy dog (moving into a backbend), side plank, crescent lunge, and prayer twist. Standing Poses (24m)

Postures here include several standing forward bend variations, standing splits, airplane, knee to side, eagle, tree, warrior 2, and reverse warrior. Very fast vinyasa flows are performed between some of the postures. Backbends (7.5m)

This gentle backbending sequence includes bow pose, locust, and half camel. Seated Poses (12m)

Baron begins with boat pose and then moves into seated pigeon, 3-legged table, seated twist, full seated forward bend, and table or reverse plank. Final Relaxation (9m)

Baron concludes the practice with reclined twist, viparita karini (not using a wall), and reclinded cobbler’s pose; the practice ends in a seated position with namaste. Foundations of Power Vinyasa Yoga is designed to teach the fundamentals of the postures, and Baron suggests that it would be approrpriate for beginners to more advanced students. Overall, this is a solid vinyasa practice which is likey to appear to more beginning and more advanced students alike.
