5.0 out of 5 stars Very moving yoga workout, September 20, 2006

This review is from: Kundalini Yoga - A Journey through the Chakras (DVD)

This is a great 90 min workout that will also calm your mind & boost your spirits. The stage is blank white (so not to be distracting) with Ana demonstrating & Ravi narrating. He narrates well, telling you what the movements work on, how many more seconds you have to go & gently helping you to challenge yourself when you might think too hard to do.
The music is great, starts & stops for each movement & many have an energizing beat to keep you going.
It starts with teaching you both deep breathing & fire of breath (like dog panting). Fire of breath will be used A LOT. But just do your best, hit the pause button & you'll be ok.
The movements themselves are hard to explain, but usually has two different poses that are done back/forth at as fast as speed as you can handle, even you can only do it slow, that's fine. There's some balancing, some yoga spine rolls, holding your arms up a lot for several minutes (help workout your arms), leg lifts (good leg & ab work), spinal flexing, neck stretches, camel & child's pose, drawing the bow Qi gong pose & more. Though this isn't about building tone, but that is the bonus. This is about healing your organs & your spirit.
If you worry you can't do it perfectly, they show you modifications, though this wouldn't be for those w/injuries or serious back pain, etc.
By using this dvd, I actually did the entire 90 min though it was late at night & I surprisingly wasn't bored by the end of the first set at the 60 min mark.
Everything they said you should feel, you actually do.

5.0 out of 5 stars opening up awareness, August 28, 2006

This may sound corny, but I think that if you invest your time in this practice, you really can change your life. This dvd may be very different than what you are used to but if you keep an open mind and challenge yourself, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the results. Let me back up here. I purchased this dvd along with another kundalini yoga dvd because I had read that this form (of yoga) is less stressful to your joints. I wanted to find something that my husband, who suffers from back pain, could gain some relief from. Also, having some yoga experience, I know that percussive and segmented breathing exercises are great stress relievers and I just wanted something that didn't make me jump around like a maniac (so boring after awhile and not so relaxing). But, I must have been looking for more. This dvd addresses the different aspects of the body and how to unlock the energy in those areas. These aspects, once opened and energized, make you feel terrific and more capable of letting stress go. Also, it awakens an awareness of self, the need and desire to improve both mental and physical areas of (your)life. There is a symmetry and balance that improves your outlook and decision making.
The only thing I would change about this dvd is that when learning some of the meditations, I would have preferred that some of the words stay on the screen the entire segment of time.
Great work out for the mind and the body, you'll have the best zzzz's of your life.

This review is from: Kundalini Yoga - A Journey through the Chakras (DVD)

I was a little sceptical about chakras (I always equate that word with crystals and lava lamps) but intrigued enough about Ana & Ravi to make this purchase. I am as surprised as anyone at how much I love this workout. I find the information about the chakras fascinating and I love the breath work, particularly the breath of fire, combined with the movements. I felt as though I were vibrating from the inside out, and felt an immediate clearing of something almost like a melting in my chest!
When I finished this workout the first time I was in a very Zen-like state which lasted to my (calm) amazement through a week long very hectic business trip. I could not wait to get back and do the workout again.
I love everything about this DVD. Ana & Ravi, the nicely balanced stretching & strenghening workout, the music (so much better then most yoga programs), the look. I will definitely explore their other offerings and do this one often.
