I have seen both of the Blanchard tapes and they are very much the same except that Marc gets to show off different postures that only he can do.Marc Blanchard is a very able practitioner especially in his backbends.However, people don't understand that not every contortionist should try to be a yoga teacher.The quality of his voice is awful, I am not the first or the last to note that about these tapes.He is trying to be soft,sattvic,yogic,sensual and relaxing and he fails miserably on all counts, he is just irritating.The content of the comments and the quality of instruction is best described by the words vacuous,non existent and inane.If you liked this, try Bryan Kest for more of the same.Or for a change you could look on Amazon for David Swenson's Ashtanga Yoga tapes to find out more about the style Bryan and Marc perverted to eventually reach that synthesis that they now "teach".
