She is the very best kind of yoga teacher: one that combines clear, direct instruction with a powerful, centering flow practice and at the same time brings to the program a grace, gentleness and spiritual grounding that exemplifies what yoga is all about: balance, strength, and love. <br /> <br />As someone who has bought a bunch of yoga DVD's over the years, and practiced with innumerable teachers, I can honestly say that I think Sadie, and this DVD, is the best of the best. For me personally, the best yoga practice is one where I can combine aspects of a meditation/centering practice with a good, old-fashioned workout. <br /> <br />What makes Sadie's DVD--and her approach to yoga--special, is that even though she makes you work hard--building fire and fierceness (as she would say)--she doesn't forget the essential purpose of yoga: to get centered, grounded, and peaceful. With this DVD, I can bring the joy and sweat of an in-person session with Sadie to my hotel room, my friend's house...everywhere! Yeah, Sadie, you rock! <br /> <br />Oh...and to the woman who was having difficulty with finding the different short cuts on the DVD, make sure you learn how to use your DVD remote/buttons properly before you give up on the DVD. I've struggled a bit with other yoga DVD's in the same way, but found that it was usually my ineptitude with the remote/DVD player that was the problem, not the yoga. Sometimes DVD players are the culprit! Powerful Hour and More!

I am very excited to finally be able to take Sadie’s amazing yoga classes with me where ever I go. She is the very best kind of yoga teacher: one that combines clear, direct instruction with a powerful, centering flow practice and at the same time brings to the program a grace, gentleness and spiritual grounding that exemplifies what yoga is all about: balance, strength, and love.

As someone who has bought a bunch of yoga DVD’s over the years, and practiced with innumerable teachers, I can honestly say that I think Sadie, and this DVD, is the best of the best. For me personally, the best yoga practice is one where I can combine aspects of a meditation/centering practice with a good, old-fashioned workout.

What makes Sadie’s DVD–and her approach to yoga–special, is that even though she makes you work hard–building fire and fierceness (as she would say)–she doesn’t forget the essential purpose of yoga: to get centered, grounded, and peaceful. With this DVD, I can bring the joy and sweat of an in-person session with Sadie to my hotel room, my friend’s house…everywhere! Yeah, Sadie, you rock!

Oh…and to the woman who was having difficulty with finding the different short cuts on the DVD, make sure you learn how to use your DVD remote/buttons properly before you give up on the DVD.

As a result I've often had to practice to dvd's in locker rooms of arenas, or my hotel room. <br />What I've discovered is that most of the dvd's I've used haven't exactly hit the mark for me. Either the workout's been a little low key, or unchallenging, or the presentation may have been "all too wonderful / new agey". Sometimes the music was so lame it was distracting. <br />Until NOW. <br />Sadie's dvd is direct, challenging, but spiritually connected without feeling "cheesy". <br />I highly recommend this dvd. It will be my "personal yoga teacher" on the next leg of the tour. <br />Thank You Sadie. I'm looking forward to your next one. <br />Ross unexpected and welcome

Until NOW.

Sadie’s dvd is direct, challenging, but spiritually connected without feeling “cheesy”.

I highly recommend this dvd. It will be my “personal yoga teacher” on the next leg of the tour.

Thank You Sadie. I’m looking forward to your next one.

She has a phenomenal teaching style and her youtube videos were always excellent and extremely thorough. I always wondered why she didn't have a DVD out and then I found her Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga Power Hour! It was just released this year and I have to say, it is excellent!!! I think this is appropriate for beginners, intermediate or advanced yoga students. It really concentrates on and builds your core which is very important in yoga (and one of the areas where I am still a little weak). I can really feel my abs working during the DVD and definitely the next day! It moves at a nice pace, not too slow and not too fast. I am dripping in sweat after 60 minutes and I've been doing yoga for 2 years! It's a great workout! Excellent vinyasa DVD

However, if you are a beginner, this is not for you. This is a lot like yogarobics and not your calm relaxing kind of yoga. If you want to sweat and is still new to yoga, I recommend SELF - Ultimate De-stress Yoga. Sweat it out!

I thought what she did show was difficult, but could easily be modified for beginners. However, after looking at the format and reviews of her other DVD (total body transformation for weight loss) I feel ripped off. This DVD is only 1 hour of material. I know it is called power hour - but not two many different poses were fit into that hour. If you want a taste of Sadie I don't recommend purchasing this DVD..not much there. Good but felt a little ripped off.

Sadie ROCKS:-)). <br />I love the way the sequences are splitted and the slow/careful/detailed explanations that Sadie gives all along....At first, I thought the DVD was not for beginners... I was struggling to get through the whole thing...Then, instead of "child posing" before collapsing (LOL), I just picked the *beginner set" so that I could always stay tunned with my breath. This option "beginner set" is INVALUABLE, to help built core strength and practive at one's own pace. <br />Plus Sadie's "fake slowness" makes the sequences even more challenging for people (hand raised!) who need to develop more stamina (yeah I ENJOY the vinyasas LOL) . And I really enjoyed the restorative sequence as well ("NAMASTE Sadie" my whole body was saying !!) <br />This one DVD by itself is a sort of an amazing " all in in one DVD" , core-tastic, sweaty, intense...definetely my favorite! <br />Be ready to experience a *yoga high":-)) <br />Keep up the good work Sadie! <br />Namaste EXCELLENT

Its segments make it the perfect practice before work. On weekdays I practice the mat sequence, which is really effective at strengthening and toning core and limbs. On weekends I attempt the wall poses, which are challenging. Sadie is very encouraging, and with her positive approach and insightful experience, I've been able to advance far. A really great way to start the day and make home practice a habit. Wake Up Call

It has a flow that leaves you feeling not only energized but grounded when you are done. Constant reminders to activate the core have me doing it even as I sit here. It becomes a mantra to keep in mind through all movement. Her waterfall warrior and fists of fire, for example, I haven't seen in any other video or class, and they add so much to the poses they are incorporated into. And my gosh, the workout! It really targets areas that you forgot you owned, if you choose to go to your own edge. She does offer alternatives for the difficult moves so you can choose your own workout level as you go. Thanks for the inspiration! :) <br />Sandy Krzyzanowski Core Power / Innovative / Grounding / Fun!
