I thought this was excellent. I just returned to hot yoga after well over a year and I appreciated the instruction. The instructor is detailed and helps you think through your poses. I recommend this one for sure!

I like Bikram yoga, but I annoyed by the repetitive dialogue and how some teachers recite it by rote memory, without really connecting with the students. I still enjoy your Hot Power Fusion and would like to suggest a second and longer version please. I would prefer not having a background music, just voice and the minimum of instructions. Elena Brower s Vinyasa Yoga (audio) would be a perfect example. No nothing, just vocal instructions. Thank you.

Loved it! As mentioned in the class description, there is a lot of detail to really perfect each posture. Not so much to interrupt the flow, but enough to get extra benefit from the poses.
If you re not a detail person, no matter what level you are, I wouldn t recommend it.
However, I guarantee there will be at least one cue in this class that will improve some aspect of your practice.

Thanks Lauren! Please do another Hot-Power fusion class!

I think it s a tough spot to walk the line between giving people instructions if they are new to something and yet not boring the people who are more experienced. I am an experienced Bikram/hot yoga practitioner who wanted something to complement a home practice, so in particular in the first few sequences, such as half-moon pose, it s really frustrating to have my arms up in the air, waiting to move into the pose, and hear *so* many instructions. I think the standing series, for the most part, moves painfully slowly, but then there s barely a savasana between poses in the floor series--it s really rushed with the floor series. I would support this being remastered a bit and repackaged as solely for people more experienced with the Bikram sequence--then there would be more of an energy of getting in there and moving between postures, with less time taken up to try and explain the alignment (which I personally don t think can really be done safely, anyway--people who are new to yoga really need a teacher to be there, showing them what proper alignment looks like). My experience of this class was that it s got more of that light, floaty quality to it. I do love taking yoga classes that are more meditative and slower, but not when it s Bikram--to me, that s a different approach to the postures. I would have preferred delivery with a bit more energy/intensity.
