Summary: An Absoulte Must-Have for Beginners and Beyond!
Date: 2008-12-29 - 
Comment: I love this DVD! The entire routine is divided into the following-
-Breath Primer (a description of Long Deep Breathing and Breath of Fire)
-Tuning In
-Warm Ups
-Rise and Spine
-The Five Tibetan Rites
-Deep Relaxation
-Meditation
-Closing Prayer
The "Rise and Spine" section would be a good place to begin for those new to yoga or not used to much physical exercise (my category).
On the other hand, the Five Tibetan Rites is where the "Beyond" bit kicks in- after my first time I landed up with a headache and sore muscles. I guess I tried to do too much in one go. The key lies in gradually building up your stamina...so don't give up!
The other great feature about the DVD is the matrix option which allows you to choose a combination of the above-mentioned sets and customize your yoga routine. Just be sure to read all the instructions on the insert.
Peace!

Summary: Much Better than a Chiropractor
Date: 2008-12-29 - 
Comment: Five years ago a back surgeon told me that my L1 disk was so herniated that it was not a question of `if' but rather `when' would I have to have back surgery. Since I started using this DVD a year ago, I do not think I will ever need the surgery.
When ever my back starts hurting me, I throw in the DVD and do the warm-up and the basic spinal series. Sometimes I can feel my spine adjust back into place within the first couple of exercises. Of course the muscles might continue to be sore for another couple of hours, but usually I am fine after that.
I have also noticed that if I practice it on a regular basis my back does not get out of whack in the first place - so I would also recommend as a preventive measure.
I also have the Kundalini Yoga With Gurmukh DVD, but find that I like the more meditative disposition of Kundalini for Beginners and Beyond.
Setting expectations:
1. It's not a hard core yoga DVD, especially the first 25 minutes or so.
2. It's a different kind of Yoga than main stream, focusing on energy development and mindfulness rather than powerful forms.
3. There is a lot of time for meditating and breath practice.
4. Some of the stuff seems a little weird at first, but the benefits are so incredible, I tend to overlook the weirdness of hit.
5. Anna Brett could put on more clothes, but it's really not a big deal - just kind-of awkward when I recommend it my neighbors and people in my church.

Summary: ***A Really Fantastic Workout. Perfect for Me!***
Date: 2008-12-09 -
Comment: I play basketball and rollerblade to keep in shape. I got this because I felt that yoga would increase my flexibility. I'd taken some yoga classes but I just couldn't get excited about the practice. This kind of yoga is perfect for me. It is active and keeps my attention. It also works! I feel looser than I have in a long time and my world view is more positive as a result of practicing Ana & Ravi's Kundalini Yoga. This workout starts with some warm-ups. Set 1, Rise & Spine, loosens up your back like you won't believe. It also gets you ENERGIZED. Set 2, The Five Tibetans, is a concise little workout which targets all the major muscle groups. I am really looking forward to trying this dynamic duo's other DVD's! There is something about their pacing and words in combination with great music that creates a really cool ambience, not cheesy, just right.

Summary: READ ABOUT THIS TYPE OF YOGA BEFORE BUYING!!
Date: 2008-12-09 - 
Comment: This is an ok video, but the style of yoga is really something that you should learn from a teacher who can help you in person. You are dealing with very powerful energy here and it can hurt you.
Don't mean to scare anybody, but do your research and use caution. This type of yoga isn't like aerobics or using a stair machine.
