Kathy Smith: New Yoga Challenge  (1995)

Theatrical Release Information:
Kathy Smith: New Yoga Challenge

Kathy Smith's New Yoga Challenge is a companion to her 1994 release for the beginner. This second lesson is meant for the intermediate practitioner and contains more difficult poses performed at a faster pace. The "challenge" is issued mostly by Rod Stryker, who leads the class. Through his clearly understood instructions, yoga asanas don't seem nearly as complicated. Smith begins with a warm-up and moves swiftly into standing and sitting motions. While the stretches themselves are harder, students will find that the workout tests stamina and muscle strength as well. Both Smith and Stryker are exceptionally limber and show off their skills, but the poses are demonstrated in a way that is accessible. For viewers seeking a brisk yoga workout, this video is a good complement to a weekly routine. ~ Sarah Ing, All Movie Guide
