I think you're wrong; Blissology is a system. Blissology is not as well-rounded as UY (and that's not surprising since it has 6 workouts vs. UY's 12), but each one is different, and if you follow the rotation, your week has a "shape" and a pretty good balance to it, both in terms of body parts worked and intensity level. Blissology also has daily meditations that fit each day's theme, and some supporting "lifestyle" materials (the Bliss Commitments).

Some will gasp at this, but Tony Horton

I love everything about Yoga-X except the length. If he comes up with a system, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Rod, Erich, and I love Teigh and Gillian, but I don't think they will deal with Beachbody again.

I do feel Blissology is a system, but it's not the same way Travis did UY's. IMO UY has very definitively different workouts, but Blissology was more similar to each other than different-but there are differences (and that's probably my most confusing sentence of the hour).

I would love another system by Bryan, but I don't think he'd do it either.

Ravi and Ana. Their DVDs are well-produced and well-done, and Ravi has been involved in kundalini yoga since the early 70s. I think they could put out a fantastic kundalini yoga system.

Re Tony Horton--it's very clear that Tony loves yoga and has practiced it for many years. He might well be able to put out a really good athletic style yoga system. I have 3 of his yoga routines as well as Yoga X, and I enjoy them.

Since I like BTS Group Centergy, I wish Chalene would do a PiYo series that was professionally produced with good music. I don't have the Fan DVDs, but I'm guessing the production quality is low and you don't get the good music on the DVD that is on the CD.

rodney yee or Fred + Liz.

Zyrka Landwijt of course

If she did a system, or a matrix DVD like Shiva's Yoga Shakti, they would have to take it from my cold dead hands! But sadly I don't think she's even teaching anymore?

But I also think that in a successful system there is some element of community involved. Both Eoin and Travis seem to have built an appreciative yoga community which was helpful in taking their projects off the ground. It's more than just a lone wolf teacher!

Vee - I agree, it would need to be integrated and inspired.

Definitely would love a system with Rod with meditations that are a good 15 minutes long. Love Rod's yoga AND meditation CDs.

I would love a system from Ravi and Ana, or Maya Fiennes. (Failing that, a really solid rotation using all of Raviana's workouts would suffice.)

Whaaaaat? I hope this isn't true. I love her workouts!
