Customer Reviews

One of the best!

Power yoga is great for Americans, especially those who are used to more aerobic workouts and especially for those like me, who have bodies naturally inclined toward strength training and not toward flexibility. Don't get me wrong---you get plenty of flexibility poses with Power Yoga---there are still poses I can't do yet---but there's none of that head under the legs, kissing your back kind of flexibility in Power Yoga. Warrior poses to develop leg strength are essential to this style, as well as some challenging balancing poses. If this sound's like your kind of thing, Geo's book is excellent and provides more info than many other power yoga books. Good luck with your training and Namaste!

Amazons & Animals

My girlfriend Lesa and I not only have autographed copies of Geo's book we get to practice power yoga with him twice a week at The Newport Workout, located in Newport Beach, California. The studio setting -- consisting of wood floors( great for sticky mats) is set at a temperature of 80 degrees. The session is an hour and a half. Our warm-up is 5-10 minutes, then goes into 60 various poses, including warrior, angle, crow, camel, splits, headstands, handstands, khatarangas (125), push-ups(250)and up & down dogs. The last fifteen minutes is a cool-down, by which Geo's inimitabe voice soothes us into a calm, tranquil state of mind, body and spirit. We strongly recommend Geo's book and yoga into your own lifestyle for peace-of-mind, heart, body and soul.
