The chakra system represents the complete spectrum of the human experience. Through Kundalini Yoga's special blend of breathing, movement, stretching, meditation, and chanting, you'll shine like the sun! This comprehensive, 90 min. complete body/mind/spirit workout offers exercises and meditative techniques for each of these energy centers, as well as, inspired commentary to help assess where your blocks are and how to transform them. For instance, the Navel Center or Manipura Chakra (Wheel of Many Jewels) supplies energy which helps us sustain intent. The Heart Center or Anahata Chakra relates to compassion, expanded horizons, and going beyond, as in put your heart into it. This DVD is for all levels and conveniently chaptered to help you vary your workout or focus on those segments most relevant to the issues pending in your life. Modifications are given so that everyone can always participate. Long time yogis will find much new material to add to their yoga repertoire. This DVD also features great music by Tom Carden.
This workout is for ALL LEVELS.

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.
