Ashtanga Yoga: Advanced A and B Series with David Swenson
http://www.amazon.com/Ashtanga-Yoga-Advanced-David-Swenson/dp/B000WXCSNW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1272418279&sr=1-4
I have not seen either of above, only Swenson's "The Practice: First Series",
which I felt was very good instruction.
You may want to note that reviewers at Amazon felt that both the above two dvd's were more "demonstration" than "instruction" videos.

Rodney Yee's Power Yoga Isn't For Beginners
Article by Kim Archer
Most yoga DVDs have very similar features. They usually feature a very fit instructor and a soothing relaxing background. Most locations are shot on tropical islands. Power Yoga - Total Body Workout is no exception. This DVD stars yoga professional Rodney Yee and he leads you through a very exhausting 60 plus minute workout designed to have you gain muscle tone and coordination. You will gain stamina and you will increase your flexibility immensely if you are able to follow this DVD.
Power Yoga - Total Body Workout is definitely a comprehensive yoga workout that can really help you shed pounds and lose inches. It can increase your flexibility and your stamina. Most intermediate and advanced yoga practitioners love this DVD because it really pushes them and they can see results fairly quickly if they use it regularly.
You will need to keep in mind that this DVD isn't the best for novices. The people who have written the most positive reviews are those who started off in very good condition. Most already worked out regularly and are very fit. So for them to say this is a difficult workout should suggest to beginners that it may be extremely challenging for them to keep up.
Yee keeps it going at a demanding pace and most novices are simply not sufficiently skilled with yoga positions to be able to keep up. If you are a beginner, then you might find yourself continually rewinding the video in order to properly understand a position. And once you do you might find that you can't hold the pose for the proper amount of time. That can be discouraging and most beginners will quit after a few tries. Some will keep going and finally be able to complete the workout, however it's going to take time and perseverance.
There is little doubt that Power Yoga - Total Body Workout is effective. For those who are already familiar with yoga and the various poses or stances it is a workout video that will push them to the next level. With time and practice you can follow along with Rodney Yee as he completes the intense workout. You are definitely going to feel more limber and feel a renewed sense of vitality.
