5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yoga Video I Own, June 5, 2006

By 

Aphrodite "Yoga Lover" (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kabbalah Yoga - Ambitious Beginners (DVD)

I own approximately 100 yoga videos and this is my favorite. It is really not a beginner video because there is little instruction for the poses. It is more an intermediate level which is why I like it. This is a program for people who are not beginners and not advanced (I am not very flexible so cannot do a lot of the advanced videos out there, I am also middle aged). This is just the right length - about 40 minutes and the poses flow from one to the other. The mind body connection that is essential to yoga is present throughout this program. I am sick of lightening fast sun salutations or holding downward dog for 5 minutes like you find on so many videos. This program has no sun salutations and all of the postures show modifications if you need them. I also own the advanced kabbalah program which is very similar to the beginners except it moves a little faster and they incorporate the plank, upward dog, downward dog transition quite frequently. I will occassionally do the advanced, but the beginner is my favorite. In my opinion, this is the perfect yoga video for the intermediate practitioner.

3.0 out of 5 stars NOT for beginners, but looks good, June 8, 2005

This review is from: Kabbalah Yoga - Ambitious Beginners (DVD)

Just for everyone's information, this DVD is not aimed at beginners - the three stars is basically in this respect. You need to have quite a good prior knowledge of yoga before attempting this one. I haven't even looked at the other one (advanced) yet.

If, however, you are not a beginner, and can cope with a practice which is flowing and is cued without positioning advice, then this should be a good practice for you. I like the look of it, and there are a few unusual asanas there - like twisting down dog.

I'm not sure how long this practice is - sorry! Prob about 45 mins. What's interesting is a primer on Kabbalah, quite a long one. Throughout the practice (which is done in voiceover) certain poses are associated with tenets of the Kabbalah.

5.0 out of 5 stars A NEW KABBALAH YOGI, July 12, 2005

By 

D. ANIS - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kabbalah Yoga - Ambitious Beginners (DVD)

I love this video for all of the same reasons the other person didn't. Finally, a Yoga program where I don't have to listen to the cue'ing over and over again after I've watched this a dozen times and know the program. If this program were so easy that I could do it the first time viewing, why buy it? I don't need to watch or hear cue'ing while I'm doing this program...I can count to 6 (breaths). ALSO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KABBALAH AND YOGA IS ASTOUNDING. THIS DVD GIVES YOU THE TOOLS THROUGH PHYSICAL YOGA POSES TO ACCESS YOUR SPIRITUAL SIDE. THE SPANISH VERSION IS PERFECT BECAUSE I SPEAK SPANISH AS WELL. THE BEST PART...THE MUSIC. JAI UTTAL HAS OUTDONE HIMSELF WITH HIS SONG "SHALOM"
