Buy it now!
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 relaxed and feeling a nice buzz I could get addicted too!
stretch your nerves for more soulpower;)
one thing i like about ravi and ana`s videoes : they are different from each other.
this is pure focus on stretch and breathing, it leaves me feeling fresh, flexible and energetic.
other videos may promise an increase in flexibility, but not many live up to that promise.
I have had hip-problems that inhibited me form doing some yoga,and was previously not able to do heavy stretching, therefor i did not get an remarkeble increase in flexibility from my regulare yoga rutine.
kundalini yoga changes this, i have a stronger lower back, and my hip/seat-bones are not giving me much trouble anymore. my legs are more flexible and my nerves can handle the increase in my energylevel.
there is only one thing missing, this video does not give me a good strecth inn my arms,shoulder and neck. i would like that since we all know that shoulders and necks need work aswell.
i would recomend this for people with some experience in yoga, kundalini yoga and hatha yoga should be part of a full yoga-routine(i still love "regular" yoga)
But if someone asked me what kind of workout i would do if i had just one choice, the answer would be kundalini yoga. because it is the only thing that covers "aerobic", stretching,toning and strengthening of the muscles and nervoussystem all in one chategory.
ANOTHER GREAT!!!
I have tried many different types of Yoga DVDs. Most of them I got bored with due to too many sun salutations. I'd often find myself growing tenser halfway through. Then some DVD's would take me on a tour of the ocean or sky. I find outside scenery very distracting and irrelevant.
I have recently discovered Ana And Ravis DVD's and am very impressed with their creations.
Ravi talks you through all the poses, making it easy to not watch the screen while you're attempting to do these stretches though you should glance over and see what Ana's doing in the process. I recommend watching her even if you don't have to. You don't see yoga done like that every day.
I like how this set is composed of multiple and interesting yoga stretches instead of just one. The poses are held for a good amount of time so you can definitely feel a release.
It is a very nice stretch for me. Plus I got a workout in at the same time. Great idea for a DVD!
The music was also enjoyable.

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.

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.

Comprehensive but user-friendly, reasonably challenging but accessible to a variety of levels, Yoga Shakti is inarguably one of the best yoga products on the market--no small achievement when one considers just how many of them there are. Instructor-creator Shiva Rea, a California-based yogi of considerable international renown, specializes in vinyasa yoga (a vinyasa is essentially a series of flowing, connected poses, incorporating breath and movement and cultivating heat, strength, flexibility, and balance). Four complete practices are presented, ranging in length from 42 to 85 minutes and including Basic Flow (for beginners), two more vigorous Solar Flow sequences, and a Lunar Flow sequence falling somewhere in the middle in terms of degree of difficulty; familiar...

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 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.
