Just curious if any of you guys have purchased Sonnon's dvds. I have to tell you, I bought both "Flowfit" and just recently "Forward
Pressure". I respect what he's trying to do, the badly needed injection of masculinity into Western yoga. God knows every yoga dvd I buy has a bit
of a "light in the loafers" feel to it, but I have to tell you, these dvds are like $40 with shipping, and I feel like I MAYBE got the money's
worth on the first, BIG MAYBE. And on the second, forget about it. "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me." Let me save anyone
thinking about this dvd some money...make up a bunch of your own pushups and play some Arabic groove music while you workout. It was a great idea, but the
execution seems to be lacking. Rodney Yee gives me more to chew on for $9 in the fitness section at Target. I'm not saying if you do this stuff it
won't get you in great shape, just that a little more would have kept me from feeling like I just spent $40 on the midway shooting a basketball at a tiny
hoop to walk away with a $3 stuffed animal.

I've always liked Sonnons' material, but lately, I just don't know. I recently received two emails from RMAX Productions, and the promos' were
bordering on "over the top". "Washboard Abs and Fabulous Arms" are the kind of terms I would expect from Matt Furey, Lt. X (now known as
Capt. Chris), etc.
I still do my Warrior Wellness and Be Breathed material. and I personally feel that Flowfit was a good DVD. I bought it used so I didn't have to pay $40.00 for it, which may have something to do with my better opinion of it. Still, it looks as if there has been a shift in thinking as regards marketing by RMAX, and I'm afraid they've chosen to go a bit more commercial. Even at the website, if you're not a member of the 'Core Cadre', you no longer have access to all the material that used to be available. It's run, apparently, along the lines of Fureys' 'Inner Circle'. You pay more, you get more. Hey, I understand that Sonnon has a family to provide for, and needs to make a living, but it's a little disheartening to see things go in the current direction. Such is life in the real world.

If you want an atheltic, mascline yoga, check out Diamond Dallas Page's YRG (Yoga for Regular Guys). It's well worth the price. For $39.95 you get 3
DVDs. http://www.yrgworkoutllc.com/joomla/

Stickfighter, I had the same thoughts when I got those emails too.

thanks, that YRG stuff looks like what I've been hoping was out there somewhere. Now if I could only trade in all the other yoga dvds I've wasted money
on.
