5.0 out of 5 stars I lost 10 pounds in a month - no lie!, January 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fat Free Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I got this tape on the advice of a friend who said she is addicted to the fat free yoga workout. This tape has four seventeen minute segments that are really convenient since I don't always have an hour to do a workout or feel motivated to do a whole tape - Once I get started though I usually wind up doing the whole thing because I soon feel energized enough. The sets include - start your engines, no impact aerobics, fight fire with fire, and your life is in your own glands.
This kind of yoga, kundalini yoga, emphasizes breathing with everything. There is something called the breath of fire which is simple to learn and gives me a buzz everytime.
It definitely does what it says since I am losing weight(stubborn weight!)and I am not really eating any different.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice, short yoga routines, February 7, 2004

K.C. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fat Free Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I enjoy doing these routines. I love how you can choose between four 17 minute workouts, so even when I'm short on time I can fit at least one in. I have other great kundalini yoga dvds and videos by other KY instructors whom I prefer, yet the short routines on this one are convenient and complement the others.

On one hand, I was also very relieved when I got this. Thankfully it's the original "Lose Weight and Feel Great", which was filmed some time ago. So Catherine Quinn still demonstrates the exercises, not Ana Brett, who's shown on the cover. Catherine Quinn looks fit, healthy and strong, and doesn't have the emaciated look of Ana Brett. It's nothing against Ana, but I spent many years around dancers in dance school, dancers who usually had the same painfully thin look bordering on anorexia (it was no accident many had eating disorders as we were pressured to keep our weight down). Catherine Quinn is a healthier role model and at least she looks like an adult woman and not an underdeveloped 11 year old. When my boyfriend saw Ana on this cover he said "Someone give that girl something to eat!". It's too bad Ravi decided to call the series "Fat Free" AND feature Ana in them. Adult men wouldn't do a fat free yoga workout featuring a guy with an 11 year old's body and say "Gee, I want to look like that too". It's silly. But Catherine Quinn is great, so kudos to her.

I also like Ravi's video "In Style Yoga" which features another demonstrator and my favourite female yogi from all of his videos and dvds. "In Style Yoga" has short routines too, so is every bit as convenient. It's strange how Ravi put Ana's name and picture on the "Lose Weight and Feel Great" cover, when in fact the credit is due to Catherine Quinn and Catherine does a beautiful job. She even manages to get through the routines without making any faces, which wouldn't be easy considering how Ravi Singh talks nonstop. But after a while you learn to tune him out. Of all his Fat Free workouts this is the best one and the only one I've hung onto from the series. Check out Ravi's "In Style Yoga", plus kundalini yoga videos and dvds by Donna Davidge and Erin Kamler... I give this 3 stars, will raise it to 4 stars if Ravi puts Catherine Quinn back on the cover instead of Ana.

4.0 out of 5 stars something old, something new, February 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fat Free Yoga [VHS] (VHS Tape)

just a note..there are many forms of Yoga that are new ane emerging so if you read the review printed here regarding Yogi B and how Kundalini yoga is new don't worry. There are some types that are ancient and some that are infant. Even the feted Iyengar school of Yoga is not old. There is a yoga for everyone.
If you like movement and want to intersperse something meditative with it and you not afraid to try something new then Kundalini Yoga is definitely something you should try.
Ana Brett is a joy to watch. Ravi's voice is soothing and instructive. The nicest part about this set is the way it is divided into managesable chunks. Do a lttle, do a lot. And eaither way feel great about your effort and about yourself.
Also, the emphasis on breathing is wonderful...for everyone.
And you can apply breathing techniques (as you can mudras) in lots of situations in daily and find them comforting and helpful.
Kundlini yoga is aerobic. So you can do it for that benefit alone and not even get invloved with philisophy (or what seems to be contrversy according to one reviewer) Kundalini yoga is acessable. And fun. And rejunivinating. And based on ancient principles just like other yogas.
I love this set and am glad I have it.
And ps...side bends DO help get rid of love handles! If not then many fitness videos and teachers are also misinformed.
