The Soul of Strength

Baron Baptiste, 55minutes, Beginning to Intermediate Level

Filmed in a very packed yoga studio, this video seems to include about 40 students of varying body types and ability.

Summary

The number of students seem to distract the eye.  It is very difficult to find which students are doing modifications, full versions, or poor form.

Two cameras wander aimlessly through the room

Narration

bulletVery nasal voice lots of words.  Baron Baptiste
