 Buns of Steel: Mind/Body - Power Yoga

Summary: Good Power Yoga Introduction
Comments: I have many many yoga tapes by many instructors and in different styles. Overall this tape is pretty good and I do like Ms. Broman. The setting is real nice and I do like the music as well.
My only complaint is that she goes into the balancing poses too early for me. I tend to be very stiff when I first wake up and need a bit longer to warm up before doing any sort of balancing type poses. I would've preferred it if they were preceded by some Triangle and side stretch poses and a bit more time to get more heat into the body.
I definitely prefer Bryan Kest's videos over this in that they are much more thorough and you get much more heat generated in the body. Also, of course David Swenson's short forms is an incredible tape if you want a more Traditional Ashtanga type practice. His tapes also are very balanced and the sequencing seems more friendly to one's body (at least to mine). Rodney Yee's Power Yoga for beginners is pretty nice as well (though I like to precede it with his AM Yoga tape to get a bit extra warmed up first).
Still, the Buns of Steel tape is certainly challenging, and perhaps for those who are "looser" (to use Bryan Kest's term) you might find you don't need quite as much warm up as someone like myself.
It's worth checking out if you want to add variety into your yoga practice.
Namaste'
