Review(s): DVD Kundalini Yoga - A Journey through the Chakras
Love the non traditional workout!
I never get bored with the ravi and ana workouts. They are one hell of a challenge but leave you feeling completely relaxed and stress free after doing them. They are quite and accomplishment to complete but the exercises are doable for everyone. I keep doing these workouts and getting stronger each day. Kundalini Yoga is wonderful. I mix it in with my other practices (mostly Hatha) but can't live without that "yoga high" I get after doing this workout.
Excellent with great meditations
I did this DVD Sunday morning and I have to say that it is one great class!! You start with the lower chakras in the first set and do Sat Kriya and a meditation at the end of the set. The second set is for the heart, throat, third eye and crown chakras. There are 3 meditations in this set that are absolutely wonderful. Unlike his other DVD's, Ravi and Ana can be heard saying the mantras just like you are in an actual class. I only wish that they had put the meditations by name in the menu because I would like to repeat them when I do other kundalini yoga sets. I plan on doing this one at least once every 2 weeks.
A neccesary buy for your yoga library!
Finally a chakra practice that actually involves the chakras! I have recently purchased other so called chakra workouts that strangely enough had nothing to do with chakras at all!
These exercises most of which are 2-4 minutes are designed to stimulate, balance and transform our kundalini or, life energy.
I really like the way this yoga works every part of you, neck, arms, legs, spine as well as glands, organs, i.e., liver, kidneys, heart and brain!
All the exercises are done with specific breaths. There is a short breath primer to start that makes it all simple as pie.
I found the exercises fun and accesible and overall felt the workout very complete and energizing.
Ana Brett has a very impressive form and presence. Ravi Singh who we don't actually see here on camera offers much interesting chakra information so we can find where our own blocks are and concentrate on those specific areas.

I had never done yoga before this DVD and am grateful for the easy intro into the form. I love that this workout is one I can do in a short amount of time and it seems to cover all my needs. I also love that when I am done the workout I feel refreshed and energized and not tired.
This is a great Intro and the 5 Tibetans are awesome!

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 bought this Yoga DVD for two specific reasons: to alleviate my night time stress and help me to start the day on a positive note! I find that this DVD will also help keep you on top of your daily yoga practice even when you don't feel like keeping up. The 2 workouts are short and you will feel like you accomplished a lot!
This DVD contains two excellent yoga practices which are perfect for virtually all levels of yoga practitioners. I have been practicing yoga for several years and am now at an intermediate level, and I will continue to use both of these workouts on a regular basis.
AM Yoga starts with breath meditation to ease you into the gently energizing set that clears your head, lifts your spirtis and awakens the body. I actually do this part right out...

I just did this DVD this morning. I have the advanced DVD and I love this much better, but in a different way. I agree with some of the reviewers that it is not a complete beginners kriya. But what determines what is beginning and intermediate in kundalini yoga is how long the pose is done, anywhere from 1-7 minutes. I estimate that most of the poses are done for 3 minutes. Since most of the poses are done with the arms, this makes it seem like an intermediate set.
The set is to cleanse the aura. The 2 meditations at the end are wonderful. The 1st one is the "morning call" ek ong kar sat nam siri wahe guru. The second one is "har" or another name for God. Get this DVD, if you like kundalini yoga, you will like this. She doesn't talk too much, the music is nice....

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.
