3.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE - THIS IS NOT THE NEW FAT FREE YOGA WITH ANA!!!, October 24, 2005

By 

Yoga Diva (N. Branford, CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fat Free Yoga (DVD)

Thinking I was saving some money buying "Used" I got this DVD thinking it was the remake with Ana. Pretty confusing since Ana is on the cover in the same pose on both!

I would give this one 3 1/2 stars actually. I watched it and did it anyway since it was opened.The workout is a good one. Feels effective and Ravi is always great to listen to. But half the reason I get their DVD's is to see Ana.

The demonstrator here gamely keeps up and does a good effort. But she obviously not a yoga person and since Ravi does not do the exercise's there is no one to watch for form whick I feel is so important in a yoga DVD!

I returned this and am impatiently awaiting the one with Ana(It is the pinkish cover and says new on the cover)

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing knocked the weight off until I found this dvd., January 2, 2004

"cactushead99" (Westport, CT) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fat Free Yoga (DVD)

I first heard about the Fat Free Yoga: Lose weight and feel great video when I read about it in my local paper. This coloumnist was raving about how after having finding the tape in her library, how fast and effortlessly it made her lose weight after having her weight stuck at the same point for two years. .
I could relate to her story - except my weight had been stuck at the same point for five years! I bought the tape
and it worked! I did the workout three times a week and in the first month I lost six pounds. On top of this I felt amazingly energized.
I have tried so many different types of yoga but I found most of them actually either bored me or made me tense with all the holding of poses etc. I was surprised I had never heard of Kundalini and was more surprised by how much I liked it.
The practice is based on movement and breathing. It has been around for thousands of years. I love the breath of fire which combined with different exercises provides an aerobic effect.
I also like the spiritual element which I think should be an important part of a yoga practice.
This tape has four 17 minute segments. It includes meditations and relaxations throughout. Every part of the body gets worked on.
When I am done I feel relaxed and stretched, focused and inspired.
I am sure that anyone at any level could benefit, Even if you don't need to lose weight this is the perfect workout to get everything covered.

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

By

This review is from: Fat Free Yoga (DVD)

I enjoy doing the routines on this DVD. 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/ 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 DVD. 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 DVD 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. Men wouldn't do a fat free DVD 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 on this DVD, 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 on this DVD. 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 DVDs 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 DVDs by Erin Kamler and Donna Davidge... I give this 3 stars, will raise it to 4 stars if Ravi puts Catherine Quinn back on the cover instead of Ana.
