My Back, Waist, Love Handle, Hamstring muscles are still aching since yesterday's workout. This yoga is very dynamic and truly stretches you... Yet I've gone too far with the stretching that I'm sore today, but I highly recommend it for those who have not worked their back muscles for a while.
This workout will give you:
-Whole Back Stretch (You'll be moving in some asanas and stagnant in others)
-Hamstring Stretch (Moving during this stretch)
-Waist and Ab Stretch (You'll be moving throughout this stretch)
-Inner thigh Stretch (an area I tend to forget)
-Arms & Shoulder Stretch
-Quadriceps and Outer Thigh Stretch (Breathing rapidly while holding the asana making your thighs burn!)

****Used once/twice a month this workout will help your muscles relax and relieve tension buildup.

This review is from: Kundalini Yoga Ultimate Stretch Workout With Ana Brett and Ravi Singh (DVD)

I was introduced to Yoga in Graduate School. I did it with the experimental college while working towards a degree in Statistics. I'm an Army Reservist and am far from the peace-nik type. When I first got to Iraq, I did yoga on the roof of a house in Fallujah about 3X a week. We relocated to a place where this wasn't appropriate (not really cover and concealment from hostile fire). I missed my practice, and being able to do it in peace. After being deployed for 12 months I got access to internet and ordered this video and another Yoga video. The other set has yet to come out of the plastic wrapper! We had very few hours of power a day (about three to four nonconsecutive hours). I would charge up the battery on my little dvd player and when it charged enough I would do this DVD (in secret; the guys would totally harass me especially if I were to be caught doing the chants in the end). But really this grounded me. I was under immense stress outside the wire almost daily working with the Iraqi Army and under constant pressure of the possibility of hostile engagement. Fast foward 3 months and I was out of Iraq and home. Life crumbled, Post Tramatic Stress Disorder, clasped its sneaky claws into my brain chemistry. I plugged this in last night and I feel uplifted, with everything going on. My origonal intent was to become sore prior to going to a massage class I am taking, but I had forgotten all the meditative stuff. Don't fool yourself, I'm fairly fit, but this is a workout that you will be feeling for a few days. I start barely able to reach my ankle bones and by the time I'm finished with the video I can almost stand on my palms with my toes touching my wrists. Soreness totally kicks in, but in a good kind of way.
By faith I am a fundamentalist Christian. So when I experimented with yoga I struggled with the cult-like nature of the whole chanting thing. Ravi's voice in the background does sound a little on the "drink my cool-aide" but it is very soothing and you begin to really internalize the meaning of the words and focusing in on the Sut Nams and I could listen to the music at the end for hours, I wish I could put that on repeat and just listen to it over and over. I mention my faith here, because I think it is relevant. I feel stronger in my connection with God (the Holy Spirit), calmed and focused on determining how my personal legacy can be defined by my thoughts and actions each and every day. I don't know the types of Yoga I praticed in Graduate School, and I am familiar with Warrior Poses and Assanas. But Man Oh Man, If I could find a class like this, I couldn't put a price on it!
The video is very well put together, I can see where someone would say that Ana is in her underwear, but She is extraordinarily attractive in a simple vibrant kind of way. The clothing is not inappropriate, but really accentuates different aspects of the postures, I can look and see the angle of her hip to her torso or which direction her knee and toes are pointed or how she does breath of fire not just in her chest, but very deep into her belly. How is her head, shoulders, hips, knees and toes aligned. This is all important to me as I seek to improve not only my flexibilty, but my posture, gracefulness, movement, and my relationship with God.
So this has gotten me through Iraq and is assisting me in working through PTSD. This review may sound scrambled, but this is in my very highly recommend catagory. So much so that I would spend my own money to purchase this as a gift for someone else.
Thanks Ravi and Ana!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great workout for day or night, January 25, 2005

So far, this is my favorite Ravi Singh & Ana DVD. First let me describe it in detail as I know that will help you in deciding whether or not to buy it. It starts with the Tuning in Mantra-Ong Namo GuruDev Namo 3x. Then there is a breath meditation to use " so that nothing will get on your nerves" It is 10 sniffs and 1 exhale. Next are standard kundalini warm-up--spinal grinds and flexes. Then there are the standing exercises such as stretching back and down, side to side; leg to leg; wide angle stretch; crow squat with breath of fire, etc. Sitting down stretches are butterfly stretch; one legged stretch with the bent leg in rock pose(if you have bad knees like I do, you will need to put a pillow behind your bent leg OR don't sit in rock pose. Next is plow pose; cobra pose with wide legs; upward facing bow with breath of fire--this is quite hard as I can not hold upward bow for 2 minutes, which is about how long this exercise is. Instead I do bridge with a block under my tail bone. The last exercise is Sat Kriya. My absolute favorite! Finally there is a relaxation and the Guru Ram Das mantra at the end of class. Overall I love this DVD. What I don't like is the music. The mantra music is by Wah! and is Reggae style. I don't like Reggae music so at that point in the DVD I turn it off and put on my favorite version of Guru Ram Das. Ana looks like she wearing her underwear, but since you do kundalini yoga with your eyes closed,I bearly notice her any more. The DVD is accessible to everyone and I'm glad I got it. Hope this review helps you. Oh by the way, all kundalini classes end with the "Long Time Sun" song. Snatam Kaur recorded a very nice version of this closing song. Sat Nam
