I recently got hold of this one and I am so glad that I did. I had put off buying it because of reviews which spoke of Ana's near naked body. All I can say is that it must be all sour grapes. While you can see a hint of Anas nipples. I don't think I would have even noticed if they had not had so much press!
Ana is beautiful and I think she can expect a lot of arrows slung her way. It is unfortunate. This DVD is a classic. The workout is first rate. The demonstration(by Ana)is first rate. The voiceover by Ravi is also first rate.
I like Ana's almost goth/ almost japonese makeup. The way her hair flops about as she performs with perfect precision. The lighting. The blue and pink set.You also see Ravi make a rare appearance at the beginning and end of the workout.
No matter what type of yoga you do, what level you are, or even if you have never done yoga. I highly recommend you buy this one.
I am only sorry I did not get this one earlier. I now have a lot of catching up to do!
Loving the Kundalini
I have used 2 different Ravi and Ana DVDs and I am impressed. They are consistent in their presentations and I was motivated to purchase 3 more DVDs just for the variety and the calmness I felt after doing this workout. Ravi is so calm and he explains what you are doing and most importantly WHY you are doing it. In so many Yoga videos you hold pose after pose, but the teacher does not explain why or for what reason the pose is important.
This tape has some moves a person doing aerobics would recognize, but Ravi explains how they benefit your maridians or how it cleanses your organs etc. A simple neck roll now becomes something I want to do because it has value on so many levels.
I got up a sweat with this tape, but did not find it particularly difficult, except for the Frogs, man those are challenging. I plan on incorporating these DVDs into my weekly practice. I find them a refreshing change to your typical down dog, up dog routine.
I LOVE THIS WORKOUT!
I'm a very fit and experienced fitness person, but tend to focus on cardio and weights. This yoga DVD combines cardio, strength, flexibility, balance, and toning in a vigorous and enjoyable workout. I love the pace, the exercises, Ravi's cuing, and and Ana's form and energy. I always feel that it's time well spent and I certainly feel it the next day. If you're looking for a program that leaves you worked out, energized and on top of the world this DVD is the one to buy.
I have recently stumbled upon Kundalini Yoga. I am loving it more and more every day. I still do my Hatha and Astanga, but for getting my engery going and feeling that I am doing wonders for cleansing my body, you can not beat Kundalini Yoga. Ravi has a wonderful soothing voice, not irritating nor condesending. He explains exactly what the excersizes purpose is and Ana executes it for you to see how it should be done. No downward dogs here, nor the usual poses you would expect. This is yoga in the traditional sense of doing a set (Kriya) and then doing corpse pose and then doing another set. This is meant to expand your mind and cleanse your organs and create flexability in your back and spine. I have now purchased 2 other DVDs from Ravi and Ana and I am really, really, really...

I LOVE this DVD; I was going to put it on my Christmas list but could not wait after seeing the streaming video preview on the [...] website.I have been doing power yoga for 3 years & love my gym's classes, but started to need more stretch. All the strength building was making me lose my flexibility which was starting to make me feel like I am getting old and I am only in my very early 30's! Plus I was starting to get carpal tunnel from too many down dogs. This is the perfect workout for me when I can't get to the gym. Since I can't get to the gym a lot over the holidays I plan to be using this a lot in the next couple months. I think it will help me to maintain muscle while helping me to get my elasticity back.
Another holiday plus:This type of yoga always leaves me energized and... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Ravi Singh - Ana Brett DVD Release Date: Released the 01 December 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

I have to disagree with the reviewer who did not like the Navel Power DVD. I have a feeling she is just not a yoga person. I personally do not like the type lof 6-pack look that non-yoga ab workouts produce. I like the strong nicely shaped natural abs that yoga workouts like this one produce.
Ana & Ravi's DVD's are consistently good and this one is no exception. This type of yoga will take you out of the familiar yoga you may know. You will recognize some hatha moves, but there is always something added, like special breath techniques and movement. You may be surprized at how cardio these kundalini yoga workouts can be. Cardio and spirtitual at the same time. It is an amazing combo that leaves me buzzing and feeling happy for a couple days every time I do it.
The moves are... More Info about this DVD Director(s): Ravi Singh - Ana Brett DVD Release Date: Released the 01 December 2004 Usually ships in 24 hours

Ok..Just when I thought I was moving to an advanced level in my practice a dvd comes along that kicks my butt! This one certainly did. I loved the variations of the poses and was glad to see that there were asanas that were not on my other dvd's. I am so tired of the Sun Salutation that is on other work outs. I have always had trouble with the lunge part of that set and this dvd cuts that part completely out. THANK YOU! It was a refreshing and tough workout and I am glad I bought it! Will be a nice complement for my other dvd's when I need to really get moving.

Kundalini Yoga is the most ancient yoga. All other yoga styles fall under this one. If you want to experience real yoga in raw form, this is it. It is the best bar none. I have fallen in love with Kundalini Yoga. There is nothing like it. There is an energy coiled lik a serpent in the base of your spine that goes up the spine. The goal of Kundalini is to awaken this energy to fill you with radiance. This isn't one of those "ok now we're gonna do" yoga's. This is truly a spiritual awakening. I recommend that everyone do this at least once a week if not more. What a great Yoga practice. I can't live without it. It has truly restored my life!
