Summary: Really Worked For My Liver and Beyond!
Comment: This challenging, but very doable, program offers more than just a standard fitness approach to de-tox. The sequencing and originality of these exercises are amazing. After doing this for 2 weeks, my skin looks better and I feel lighter and have more energy. Kundalini Yoga with Ana & Ravi is effective and enjoyable fitness. I believe that everyone should include this workout in their fitness rotation. Everyone is talking about cleaning the environment these days. It stands to reason that we should also focus on cleaning our own!

Summary: Don't purchase this as your first Raviana DVD.
Comment: I have 9 other Ravi Singh and Ana Brett Kundalini Yoga DVDs and love each of them. I was very excited to get this DVD, but I don't know if I can even use it again; it was stressful going through it the first time.
Each of the other DVDs is of the highest quality; the set bright, light, open and clear. The instruction clear and peaceful in either Ana's sweet gentle voice, or Ravi's peaceful voice. This vid is very different in unsettling ways.
First, the "studio" is an open warehouse with glaring fluorescent lights. These lights are diminished and during the actual class, there is a dark background with an odd spotlight in the back behind Ana. It is sort of gloomy and eerie looking, which is enhanced by the background noise of sirens making you feel that this was taped in a bad area of town at night. The spoken lesson by Ravi is not as smooth as usual and that wouldn't be bad, but the setting and mood have already changed the quality of the potential. The musical background is also less than smooth - think of a cassette tape playing in the background that needs to be occasionally restarted because you got to the end of side one.
The lesson is excellent, and I wish that instead of transferring this to DVD, they would have redone the DVD anew keeping the lesson, but changing the quality to that of their newer works.
If it were not that I already practically worship these two people and I already know how wonderful their work is, this DVD would have prevented me from trying any of their others. As it is, this particular DVD is sitting on my table with me glaring at it, unable to muster up enough to do it again. Argh, I could ignore the visuals, because I've done enough that I don't need to watch it; but, I cannot get past the sirens in the background.

Summary: Fat Free Yoga Cleanse
Comment: I really like this video. I almost love it, but I don't quite love it because by the end I feel a little sick and like I want to curl up in a ball and sleep. Maybe that is the whole point. I personally like the DVD's that leave me feeling energized and good. This one works my body and I feel like I've really accomplished something, but I don't feel "healthy" afterwards. I would still highly recommed it though.

Summary: Great workout
Comment: One notch down because of the production quality. Ravi and Ana's newer DVD's are great quality!!! Only "Yoga Cleanse" and "Total Tune Up" were of this quality.Ravi and Ana don't change a thing later, still great, but with some enhancements. Ana's makeup gets better, There is breathing in the voice over ot direct and inspire you., etc. Each successive DVD they put out is better still. My favorites are, "Warrior Workout". The production quality is better yet, and it is a very challenging workout, as are "Navel Power, and "Ultimate Stretch" I love them! Then there is Fat Free Yoga" (This is where the production quality is great, and the music is wonderful with each successive DVD), "Beginners and Beyond", "A Journey Through the Chakras" (A masterpiece), "Bliss Hips", "Dance the Chakras", "Beauty Body". I love them all, but these are my faves!
About the new "Matrix" option on most of their DVD's -- it is fantastic!

Summary: an essential partner in detox and cleansing
Comment: I've done so many different types of cleanse and detox programs, everything from Master Cleanser stints to candida diets to supplements and I have to say that the dramatic effect this has on my body, mind and spirit is...well, amazing!
It's a somewhat odd set if you're new to Kundalini yoga, including repreated supine left side (right leg up) breath of fire work to counterbalance an imbalance (like homeopathy), standing and sitting without using your hands to stimulate the glands, increase circulation and get energy flowing (a stagnant liver=stagnant energy) and lots of arm movements with breath patterns in the second set. Strange though some of it may seem it does leave you feeling like you've wrung out a dirty sponge and I always feel lighter and cleaner, inside and out, after this class.
It should also be noted that the emotion most often associated with the liver is anger, so when the liver is congested or overtaxed it's easy to become impatient, resentful and generally cranky. This set does so much to help reverse that and delivers you back to your true self; peaceful, compassionate, patient. There was a time when I didn't even know that was who I am underneath the cynicism! ;)
The liver also corresponds to the eyes and I notice that if I am having issues with my eyes watering, waking with crusties there or annoying spots and floaters, chances are my liver needs some love from having coffee, sugar or fatty foods.
One of the many wonderful things about Kundalini yoga is the way it empowers you to recognize what your body, mind and spirit need at any given time and to select the appropriate class to heal and restore. This is a wonderful DVD that should be a part of everyone's life if they want to feel energized, alert, peaceful and patient. Even someone with a squeaky clean diet has a taxed liver from lack of air quality and day to day stress.
For me, this is now an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.
(I've also found that doing this at the onset of any sign of fatigue or possible impending illness has staved that off for me several times. Sat Kriya is great for that too - which is on Yoga Beauty Body and Journey Through the Chakras).
Sat Nam!
