This DVD is 30 minute live vinaysa flow class taught by this guy. That's it. Nothing more - no extras. Nothing.
For me, someone who has practiced yoga for two years I learned absolutely nothing from this DVD.
I have no problem with someone who wants to spend $100 on producing a DVD then sell them for $15 each. My issue is with the title "Athletic Power." The only relation to "Athletic Power" is that he calls yogi's athletes in his 30 minute level 1 vinaysa class.
For someone who wants to follow a standard (but short) flow class this DVD is ok (there is nothing challenging but nothing dangerous on this DVD). Except could have easily fit four 30 minute classes on one DVD ...my guess is that he chooses to put four 30 minute classes on 4 DVDs and give each one of them different misleading titles.
He also does no yoga himself on this DVD so one can't get a sense of the teachers level.

This is the best workout video I've ever seen. I'm a masters runner, and this tape is doing more than anything else I've tried to help me strengthen my body and overcome knee problems. Baron Baptiste is a great instructor. His coaching helps the viewer nail poses and get the most out of the workout.

I have the 2004 "Journey Into Power Level 2" and this 2001 DVD seems very similar, albeit a shortened version. I just got this DVD yesterday and did it for the first time, and that's exactly what it seems like to me. It's easier than the "Power Level 2" one, there are way fewer poses. I did like it, and I think it will be good for someone pressed for time, or someone who is somewhat fit and just starting Yoga. But I would recommend the 2004 "Journey Into Power Level 2" over this one, for a really challenging workout. I will do this one when I'm pressed for time, but will reach for the "Level 2" DVD on most days.
I was fairly fit before starting Yoga a few months ago, which helps, as Yoga is NOT easy, but do have lower back problems, some lumbar arthritis, but these practices seem to help me a lot with it, not harm it at all.

Luckily I rented this out on netflix. The title really intrigued me. I am always looking to connect biomechanics in all types of exercise. Let me state I am a beginning to intermediate level yoga practitioner. I teach T'ai Chi and Qi gong, So I am not a newbie in the internal arts by any means. I also teach boxing aerobics and play sports.
I figured this would explain how the yoga moves can "unlock" your athletic potential. Not hard to imagine how I came to that idea. There is absolutely NO mention of how yoga can do this. This is an advanced yoga practice for seasoned yoga practitioners. When he says "athlete" he doesn't mean an athlete like a baseball player or marathon runner. He means advanced YOGI. My wife is a Yoga instructor. She thought it was a great workout. She has been doing Yoga for 8-9 years. One positive thing I can say is.....it is interesting to watch Baron Baptiste conduct his class. I like how he went around and corrected people in a very encouraging way. Though I thought it was very distracting to try to follow along while he was walking around a class full of students. But that didn't seem to bother my wife.
To sum it up! There are no specific instructions to unlock your athletic power. I would say this title was contrived to sell tapes to a non yoga audience without having the content of the tape communicate effectively to that audience.

I have all of Baron Baptiste's vhs and dvd workouts, and this is the best. Although it's too short for my practice, just under 30 minutes, it is demanding. I practice power yoga 6 days a week, and this dvd is in my machine at least half of those days. If you like crow pose, and jumping into plank, this is the dvd for you. For a real workout, I like to do this dvd and then another longer one like Soul of Strength, or Power Yoga: The Ultimate Challenge (Level 3 - last in a series of 3).
