Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: leaves me grinning from ear to ear... Comment: Having known my fair share about the chakras already (i wrote a speech on the chakra system in my massage therapy training) I was extremely excited to get this DVD. And I absolutely love it!! It's a great introduction to the chakra system. Ravi explains a little bit about each as you are working on them, making the workout seem like more than just a workout. I always like knowing the benefits of a particular exercise-makes it well worth the effort. This DVD is very thorough and a little longer than some of the others so I usually focus on which chakras I feel need the most work on. I particularly love the work on the 3rd chakra(navel center). While I found it pretty challenging at first, the more I practiced the stronger I got and was then able to keep up through the whole thing. They say your navel center is your "personal power and will" and if it is strong it will allow YOU to be strong in everything that you do. It's true. I've experienced it with this DVD and also with Navel Power-another favorite of mine. I read a review a long time ago where someone mentioned having their "chakras blasted open". At first I laughed at this expression but then I actually experienced it with this DVD as well as some of their other ones. That phrase stuck in my mind because that's what it feels like. By the time I'm finished I cannot wipe the smile off my face. I just feel so good! I have almost all of Ravi & Ana's DVDs and I definitely keep coming back to this one for the variety of the content, the excellent workout and for the feeling that leaves me grinning like a cheshire cat:) Customer Rating: Summary: Good for a rest day or stress day Comment: I think this is a great dvd. It sectioned off the chakras so in effect, you can do a chakra a day. I did this once for a week, I focused on one chakra and did the poses and meditation for that chakra. I felt so recharged at the end of the week. I decided to try it that way since it is a little long for me to do at once. It is an excellent dvd used this way. I will warm up with a walk and then do a section. I love that it has the poses and a meditation together in some segments. Some of the poses are a little advanced. I modify when I have to. This dvd makes me feel so calm and peaceful. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm "exercising". It is great for stretching and for isometrics (example: you sometimes hold your arms up over your head). Probably the first half (lower chakras) involves more physical exercising/yoga. The upper chakras are less physical. If you are looking for a more aerobic yoga dvd, this is not the one. It was great for learning more about the chakras and a corresponding meditation than actual exercise. It would be excellent to do on a rest day. Customer Rating: Summary: Spiritual exercise for whole body Comment: This was the first Ravi/Ana DVD I bought, and it led me to get many more. It does a great job going through the entire body in a variety of ways--plenty to keep you from getting bored and easy to tailor, as well. Highly recommended for those new to kundalini yoga or the more experienced. I also found the music and vocal instruction to be quite helpful--they make the yoga more enjoyable. Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite Comment: This is my favorite DVD in this series. I love the way the meditations are incooperated into the workout- I tend to skip the meditations when they are at the end of the workout. Its amazing- consider trying it out :) Customer Rating: Summary: a fantastic Kundalini experience Comment: This past weekend I fell back in love with this set; from start to finish it really covers all the bases in terms of a great opening breath meditation, two amazing sets that can be done as one long class or separately if you like, and closing with wonderful meditation as always. Some of the earlier videos I love but find the music or sound quality to be a bit distracting, but from this batch of vids on they've all been so damn good! Great cues, wonderful information about the chakra system as you do your work and I have to confess I am a big fan of any set that includes the Kundalini Lotus position (holding your big toe and raising your legs in front of you in a V position as you balance on your tailbone). This is a set that's thorough but not exhausting, so I was even able to do this in addition to my daily sadhana set without feeling like it was too much. And the 7 Wave Sat Nams at the end...pure heaven. So many times I've popped this one in thinking I'd just do one of the two sets or skip the meditations in the interest of time or because I was feeling lazy but I always get swept up in the amazing feeling of climbing that ladder of lights...and what a gorgeous visual analogy that is! FYI- There is also a shorter chakra set on the beginning of Dance the Chakras, that covers you from bottom to top in about 30 minutes, if you'd like a complimentary class option for days when you'd like to climb that ladder but don't have the time and don't want to choose one or the other of these sets. I find that shorter set to be a great morning class for overall energizing, grounding and awakening. Keep in mind that you will learn some valuable things as you go along, such as what each chakra relates to, how imbalances or blocks might manifest and what exercises you can do at any time to heal those issues on your own. Very empowering. Overall, I'd say this is among their finest DVDs, in terms of content, comments, music and the choice of meditations and sets. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: 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.
