Description
Shine like the sun with Kundalini Yoga's special blend of breathing, movement, stretching, meditation, and more! Each of the two 30 min. morning and evening sets features a meditation. This conveniently chaptered, easy-to-follow DVD, has everything to help you start your day in a great way and unwind from the daily grind. Not only will you get all your fitness needs covered, but the added meditations will help you de-stress and make great gains on the inner planes. Sleep deep, wake up inspired and seize the day!
The AM set begins with a sunrise breathing exercise which stimulates the navel center for energy. This technique is also for longevity and prosperity. The set segues into warm-ups to warm-up the spine and release the hips. Next on the agenda is an invigorating morning wake-up set which works the navel, inner thighs, digestions, upper arms, and radiance. The morning meditation will open all the chakras so you can walk out the door balanced, inspired, and on top of the world.
The PM set begins with a breathing exercise to help you get your overview back. The first exercise is alternate leg lifts for centering. The subsequent exercises are for tension release. Also, featured is a chanting meditation for an open heart and a before bed meditation for deep sleep and positive wake-up.

I lift weights 4 times a week, cardio 3 times, and thought yoga should help with my flexibility. I figured a yoga workout in the morning or night would be easiest, but I just can't seem to keep the routine. Maybe because it's a DVD that I have to watch. I'm on one week, then off two doing the yoga.
Seems like a good video when I do use it.
 Do Less and Get More Done! July 4, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Even though the sets are short you still feel like you covered all the essentials and then some! I started with Kundalini Yoga for Beginners & Beyond and couldn't wait to get more of the Ana & Ravi yoga programs. I was amazed to feel effects just minutes into the workout! I have done other types of yoga before but none gave me the results I was looking for: fast flexibility gains, core strength, back pain relief, and weight loss like their type of yoga does,
This has a morning set which is a great burst of energy. It uses breath of fire through a continuous sequence of poses. The poses are somewhat similar to pilates in the way they work the upper and lower abs, legs, and hips simultaneously. Don't worry - none of the poses last longer then 2 minutes(breath of fire is said to speed up the benefits of the pose) and its simple to follow. There is also a meditation at the end that I add when I have time and am always glad I did for the powers of focus and concentration it gives me. It definitely gives me an "edge" on my day.
The evening set is a set of much slower exercises but they still will work you. They are designed to make you sleep like a log and I do! This also finishes with a meditation. The meditations are really growing on me and its something I never thought a year ago I would ever find myself doing. They work and thats all the motivation I need.
This is definitely a winner - it giives me the best sleep of my life & great daytime energy!
 Not typical yoga but a great workout, with a constant breath of fire and tightly controlled movements July 4, 2008
This was an interesting DVD. I started doing yoga a few months back but hadn't experienced Kundalini at all.
Apparently, if this DVD is indicative of typical Kundalini practice, the form is all about breathing fast and repeating small movements for long periods of time.
The workout is physically exhausting, even though there are no actual 'yoga'-type poses. The routine is, you mostly sit there moving your arms, breathing in and out very fast. Or moving your legs while breathing really fast. Or sitting still and breathing really fast. I was dripping sweat, but barely moving.
The whole routine was rather like tightly controlled aerobics class. With really involved chanting.
There were many meditations interspersed between the moves, which I found different than I was used to - I am used to the savasana being at the end. This is a completely different kind of yoga.
It's possible that this kind of yoga is extremely satisfying to some people, but I don't think this is the kind I would do again. At least not at this time - maybe my tastes will move into that direction later in my practice.
I think the chanting parts would be better if the words were left on the screen more than a moment. It was very hard to remember what I was supposed to be saying.
The AM and PM sections were pretty similar in my estimation. I really have no idea what made either one a morning or night-time set. Each part is about a half hour, but one can do the whole disc in 90 minutes (including the intro, breathing instruction, warm-up and meditations).
The menu offers a choice of playing the entire DVD or pieces at a time. There is a brief intro to the various breathing techniques (slow breathing and Breath of Fire) and an short warm-up to the AM or PM parts.
Instructor Ana Brett sits on a small round white rug in a white room. It's kind of neat that you can't see the walls - it looks like she is on a magic carpet floating in an ethereal plane. She has her eyes closed during most of the routine and we only hear her voice during the introduction to breathing and during the chanting/singing.
We don't see the other instructor, Ravi Singh, at all but hear his voice during the routines. His voice is low and soothing. During each set, he talks about how the poses are helping different organs and bodily systems.
Although this style of yoga is not to my preference, I did get a fantastic workout and know my core will be sore tomorrow.
Overall, the DVD is probably not for people seeking a typical yoga experience. It might be very well-done as far as Kundalini goes, but it's so not what I was expecting during my beginner's yogic learning curve.
A good, alternative yoga program with lots of chanting for Kundalini yogis or fitness fans open to experimenting.

This DVD could be called your daily mind shower! It really clears negative thoughts in the morning, and puts you in a positive place for the day.I love doing this one before sunrise it is soo powerful. The PM side is just great after a stressful day, it is just like jumping in the shower and washing of the dirt. It is that Easy. Make this your daily grind, be kind to yourself and buy this DVD!!!!! Thanks Ravi and Ana for making yoga fun!!!
