5.0 out of 5 stars Well-done DVD provides a wide variety of short kundalini yoga practices to address common complaints September 27, 2007

By Beth Cholette #1 HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Yoga Quick Fixes is one of the latest offerings from the husband/wife team of Ravi Singh/Ana Brett. In the same style as their previous videos, Quick Fixes features Ana alone on screen, practicing on a small rug in an all-white room, while she and Ravi take turns providing voiceover instruction. You'll recognize some of the music and yoga sequences from their previous videos, but there's plenty that's brand new here as well.

Quick Fixes has over 3 hours of footage, which felt a bit overwhelming to me at first! The Main Menu offers the following options:
*Play DVD
*Tune In
*Breath Primer
*Power Surge Warm-Ups (14 minutes)
*Yoga Quick Fixes
*Yoga Quick Sets
*Deep Relaxation
*3 Amazing Meditations
*Closing Prayer

The Main Menu leads to several sub-menus as described below.

Quick Fixes: Positive PMS (10m), So Long Sciatica (7m), Delete Depression (16m), Digestible You (9m), Asthma No More (5m), Soothe Stress Free Fatigue (8m), Maximize Memory (6m), Headache Helper (6m), Anxiety Antidote (10m), On the Spot Addiction Alternative (16m), Sleep Easy (6m)

Yoga Quick Sets: Energy to Burn (12m), Flexibility & Strength (12m), All Systems Go! (17m), Balance & Joy (16m), Kundalini Yoga Superset (22m)

3 Amazing Meditations: Amazing Minute Breath (6m), So Darshan Chakra Kriya (3.5m), Sa-Ta-Na-Ma Meditation (14m) [These same meditation sequences also appear on Ravi and Ana's other new release, Dr. Yoga House Call.]

On their website and elsewhere, Ravi and Ana recommend that you begin with the Tune-Up and Breath Primer (optional), do the Warm-Ups, and then select from amongst the Quick Fixes and Quick Sets (these shorter sequences are meant to stand alone as well). There is some overlap amongst the segments--for example, some of the Warm-Ups and Quick Fix sequences appear as part of some of the Quick Sets. However, the transitions are virtually seamless, and all of the practices flow very well. Ravi and Ana frequently make statements about what the exercises are designed to do for you (eg, "according to yoga, this will give you _____"), although they generally don't describe exactly how this process works.

If you've never done yoga before, this DVD might not be the best place to start, as Kundalini yoga is fairly distinct from the more traditional forms of hatha yoga with which most people are familiar. Similarly, if you've practiced yoga but are new to Kundalini, be prepared for something a little different--i.e., most of the exercises will not be recognizable as classic postures, there is a lot more movement, and different breathing techniques are used, particularly the Breath of Fire (although I found that BOF was used a little less here than in some of Ravi and Ana's other videos).

Overall, this is an extremely well-produced, well-organized Kundalini yoga video that is a must-have for Ravi/Ana fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars delicious March 4, 2008

By Karina Batres Kirkpatrick

Its good to have a background in pilates or dancing before doing Ana and Ravi's programs, but if not, just take it easy and do what you can because it IS challenging. I own Navel Power and the Warrior Workout, which I actually purchased out of simple curiosity. Well it turned to be the most fulfilling exercise I ever tried. Now these Yoga quik Fixes are actually delicious! I'm normaly healthy but no stranger to the aches and pains asociated to emotional ups and downs and stress, so believe me, these workouts will give the body what it realy needs, which is not always reps, going for the burn, ab blasting and stuff like that. When exhausted and burned out I believe these routines deliver what we all want: energy!
I recomend this DVD mostly for those people who are absolutely tired of the beaten path in fitness but want true health and a more natural kind of physical conditioning.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Ravi and Ana DVD! November 30, 2007

By Natalie

This DVD is, in my opinion, one of Ravi and Ana's best. It contains over 3 hours of footage from which you can select the sets and/or meditations that are most relevant to your needs.

The DVD contains the following options:
*Play DVD
*Tune In
*Breath Primer
*Power Surge Warm-Ups (14 minutes)
*Yoga Quick Fixes
- Positive PMS (10 minutes)
- So Long Sciatica (7 minutes)
- Delete Depression (16 minutes)
- Digestible You (9 minutes)
- Asthma No More (5 minutes)
- Soothe Stress Free Fatigue (8 minutes)
- Maximize Memory (6 minutes)
- Headache Helper (6 minutes)
- Anxiety Antidote (10 minutes)
- On the Spot Addiction Alternative (16 minutes)
- Sleep Easy (6 minutes)
*Yoga Quick Sets
- Energy to Burn (12 minutes)
- Flexibility & Strength (11 minutes)
- All Systems Go! (17 minutes)
- Balance & Joy (16 minutes)
- Kundalini Yoga Superset (22 minutes)
*Deep Relaxation (6 minutes)
*3 Amazing Meditations
- Amazing Minute Breath (6 minutes)
- So Darshan Chakra Kriya (3 minutes)
- Sa-Ta-Na-Ma Meditation (14 minutes)
*Closing Prayer

As other reviewers have mentioned, the music is fantastic and Ravi and Ana are excellent instructors. The poses are demonstrated by Ana while both Ravi and Ana alternatively do the voiceovers. Their voices are very soothing and they come across as genuine and very supportive.

One criticism I have is that Ravi and Ana do not indicate in what circumstances certain postures are contraindicated. For example, the shoulder stand, which is part of the So Long Sciatica and Energy to Burn set, should not be done while you are menstruating. Another downside is that they do not really cover proper form, which is important for those of us with bad posture!

I think this DVD is suitable for people of all levels (modifications are given for beginners), especially those who do not have the time to devote an hour to daily yoga practice. If you are having trouble deciding which Ravi-Ana DVD to purchase, this is the one I'd suggest. Highly recommended!
