The realization of a lifelong dream

Every once in a rare while you get a chance to manifest a lifelong dream. When an opportunity finally becomes reality, it is incumbent upon you to make the moment count. I have dreamed of making these DVDs for many years. While hosting retreats in Sedona, I am captivated by the energy that is infused into my yoga practice from this extraordinary environment. If ever there was a place to come to focus on your inner core, it is here within the powerful energy vortex in majestic Sedona, Arizona. It has a magical quality like no other place on earth. That's why I want to share my experience with you.

Yoga has no levels

Life is a series of perceptions and evaluations. How we react to them will determine each outcome. And so it is with yoga. In its truest form, yoga will always be a celebration of you and where you are on any specific day. It is about nurturing your mind, body and spirit in a noncompetitive environment. In more than 5000 years, yoga has never had props, nor has it ever had levels. If you can understand and genuinely appreciate this concept, then you will truly benefit from this DVD system. It is total acceptance. It is simultaneously about progressing to a deeper and more fulfilling practice...that is the yin/yang of yoga.

An experience like none other

With the Progressive Power Yoga System-The Sedona Experience, I have produced a comprehensive collection of power yoga workouts that follow the same invigorating power yoga routines that are used by my professional sports clients-filled with high energy, flowing asanas, balance poses and deep cool-down stretches. By practicing this yoga system, you'll increase your metabolism and you can expect to lose more weight and burn more calories than any other form of cardio or weight-training exercise. In fact, it's possible to burn up to 700 calories or more when practicing the full 90-minute Culmination and Foundation episodes of this DVD system. Other life-enhancing benefits include stress relief, improved immunity, sharper focus, greater flexibility and a stronger sense of environmental spirituality. If you happen to acquire long, lean muscles as a byproduct and you are feeling more joyous than you have felt in ages... then it is truly a gift you have given yourself on many levels.

A system designed for the athlete in all of us

My Progressive Power Yoga System-The Sedona Experience is designed for the athlete in all of us. There is nothing here that you can easily breeze through. It should be challenging for you, but not to the point where you stress out over whether or not you are doing too much or not enough. It takes time and dedication. It takes patience. If your goal is to strengthen your trunk and abdominal regions, to tone your torso, arms, abs, inner and outer thighs, buttocks and hips, then this series is for you. All of the postures will help support your spine while improving your posture, increasing your flexibility and balance.

Practiced in 70 countries

Progressive Power Yoga is practiced by people of all ages in more than 70 countries around the world. They do it for the experience and for the benefits that it brings. People fall out of poses and so do I. But we keep practicing. That's why I call it yoga practice, not yoga perfect. You'll see experienced students and beginners within the DVDs. Follow the example that best suits your fitness and ability. Regardless of where you are in your yoga practice, the time you spend is always spent in the "Now." That's what the power of yoga reminds us to do-live and breathe who you are right now.

Join me on a journey

As a collection, the DVDs present a full spectrum of strength-building postures and stretches that can be integrated into a sports training regimen. Use them daily as part of your yoga practice. Come with me now on this life-changing journey as we practice Progressive Power Yoga-The Sedona Experience. We start with The Foundation, then progress through The Core, The Flow, The Stretch and conclude our journey with The Culmination. Hear the soft whisper of the wind. Bask in a sun-washed radiant sky. Breathe, stretch, focus and enjoy this powerful vortex in one of the most beautiful spots in the world.

Namaste,

Mark Blanchard
