Book Reviews of Bryan Kest's Long, Slow & Deep: A Complete 90 Minute Yoga Workout (CD & Booklet)
Book Review: Excellent class for holding asanas
Summary: 5 Stars
This yoga routine is very different from other power yoga routines that Bryan has made. Frankly, it is probably not at all what you would expect if you have done any of his other tapes or CDs; even with the title, Long Slow and Deep, I didn't know exactly what I was getting myself into.
Instead of moving through the poses in a hot, sweating fashion (although it seems like I sweat a little from time to time), you simply hold the poses, most of them for no more than two minutes, and a few for just a few moments. Holding some of these poses is INTENSE, especially for the hips, knees, and hamstrings. Bryan admits that you may want to run away from this routine because it is hard to slow down and spend two hours doing it (it is 2 hours long, not 90 minutes, even though the cover says 90 min).
I must admit, though, that after doing this routine half-heartedly a few times, I was drawn back to it for some reason and I'm very glad I perservered (I've been doing it several months now). The first few times I did this, I could not even sit up straight in some of the poses, nor did I have the patience or mental quietness to hold them. Frankly, I was very frustrated with myself that I couldn't even sit up straight when he was talking about bending forward! It is NOT easy. Now, though, I make time to do this routine once a week and it is so beneficial for relaxing my muscles, getting my mind calm, and being in the present moment. My flexibility has improved SO much. Of all the routines I have (and I have all of Kest's as well as some others), I look forward to Long, Slow, and Deep more than any other one I do. It is SO rewarding to complete and I enjoy the relaxed feeling I have all over when I am done.
Also, one really cool feature of this Kest CD is that he includes an 8 minute rest at the end of it, making it harder to turn your mind to the other things in your life and skip the rest at the end. He also doesn't say anything for about 5 minutes during the rest, which is really nice.
I love this routine, but it is not an active one. It takes a quiet mind and a lot of calmness and patience to get into it. Good luck if you take the challenge, and if you do, give it a few tries before you give up because it is worth the effort.

Summary of Bryan Kest's Long, Slow & Deep: A Complete 90 Minute Yoga Workout (CD & Booklet)
This highly anticipated live recording of Bryan's Long, Slow & Deep routine will help you move into areas deeply and safely with a combination of deep stretching poses. Only on rare occasions does Bryan teach this routine, but now you can have your very own recording. Balance your usual regimen of vinyasa (flowing) routines with this deep exploration. The live, approximately 90-minute recording was done at his very popular Santa Monica, CA studio, and is in audio CD format, accompanied by a beautiful, 8" x 8" spiral bound instructional booklet. (Like the other titles in the series, the spiral binding makes it easy to keep the book open and follow along.) The audio CDs are segmented into 14 tracks for easy repeating or forwarding. The booklet has photographs of the asanas (positions) which track the recording, along with detailed written instruction for key poses provided by Bryan. A nice treat: Bryan Kest is one of the two models photographed for the asanas.In addition to being an excellent, complete yoga routine for your library, the CDs are a compact format perfect for travelers.
