5.0 out of 5 stars A simple but effective series, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Kundalini Yoga : A Complete Course for Beginners Vol. 1 (DVD)

This DVD, which is the first of a six DVD set, was originally produced as a part of a class at the University of Alaska in Kundalini Yoga. Each DVD contains two of the classes and each class takes the methods from the previous session and builds upon them. This set is not a flashy product by any stretch of the imagination but what it is is a solid introduction to the bedrock methods of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajin and the 3HO Foundation.

If what you are looking for is bells and whistles, this is definately not the yoga series for you. If what you are looking for is sexy people doing a hard streching workout on a beach, try any of Rodney Yee's excellent releases. If what you are looking for is a good progressive introduction to Kundalini Yoga with an emphasis upon both tradition, nervous system and back health this _is_ the series for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kundalini Yoga Beginners Vol. 1 & 2, January 26, 2005

Want to raise your Kundalini?

These videos led me into this experience after the first and third episodes. After the first episode of Volume 1, I felt a warming energy that really energized me... It was not a huge rush, but noticeable. After the third episode I had to spend half a night breathing the energy up my spine and away from my second chakra because I coudn't sleep from all the stimulation I was experiencing! Wow! After about two days the energy dissipated, which was a relief, in that I can have some degree of control by using the dvd's when I'm ready for more!

This was the stuff I had read and dreamt about during my twenties and thirties and never experienced until last month at 43+.

Thank God that 10+ years ago I had lived at Ananda, and learned the principles of Kriya and Kundalini Yoga as I finally found the most curiously simple, yet effective, practice to draw forth my kundalini energy.

This is hard core energy stuff; not about pretty asanas, but about the release and activation of the "mighty serpent" the kundalini energy. Best part of all, my local library has all six DVD's. Every library should!

I have 20+ Gaiam yoga videos with all my favorite teachers: Rodney Yee, Suzanne Deason, Patricia Walden. I've used these videos in my home for several years but not one of them, including Gurmukh's Kundalini Yoga video, activated my kundalini energy until I started to use Nirvair Singh Khalsa's. I'm still in wonder trying to figure out why it works! Is it because we hold the poses for several minutes and do so much breathing? These were very easy poses; most of them were from a sitting position. I actually followed along on episode 1 the day after sinus surgery.

Thank you Nirval Singh Khalsa!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, Entertaining, Easy, but Effective, March 22, 2004

This review is from: Kundalini Yoga : A Complete Course for Beginners Vol. 1 (DVD)

This course is unlike any Rodney Yea/Living Artist production and in all the right ways. Unlike many other Yoga workouts, this series (12 in all) is approached from an energetic and spiritual perspective. It's extremely easy to follow yet productive and energizing. Even advanced Yoga practitioners will appreciate the breathing techniques and psychological lessons to be learned. Hardly a "power yoga" workout, this is Yoga as it was intended from the start. Enjoyed every minute.
