The time just flies by August 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The time just flies by, and I get a buzz from this Yoga.
The first time I did Ravi and Ana's DVD's I was a bit afraid, particularly of the breath of fire. This DVD made it seem like a natural way to breath. They do the breathing out loud so there is no confusion how you should be breathing.
I would recommend their "Kundalini Yoga for Beginners and Beyond" for the demonstration of the breath primer, though this "Fat Free" DVD is in my opinion more suited for beginners. I recommend BOTH to start with. "Fat Free for beginners & Beyond is, in my opinion, a must-have. I started with the "Kundalini Yoga for Beginners & Beyond", and "A Journey Through the Chakras". The latter is such a masterpiece as well. I read a review that it was worth the struggle to get through the exercises as best as possible. I've done that, and it has paid off.
I now have great arms, waist, hips, and thighs -- especially thighs. I can do the duration of most of the exercises, depending on the day. I have all of their DVD's except "Am PM". "The Warrior Workout" is the most challenging for me. I love it now; it is my favorite workout for days I want to be challenged.
I went to a gym for awhile, and I could not find classes that could compare with these at all. At a Yoga studio I went to, the floor is hard, and the direction is without as much inspiration. Ana does her Yoga on a little rug.
I like "Beauty Body", and "Dance the Chakras", and "Bliss Hips" for light to medium days as well.
The music on their DVD's is more and more superior over the years. I am smitten. I play the music in my car.
Back to the one I am reviewing, "Fat Free Yoga for Beginners & Beyond", there is everything from cardio to glands to cleanse. Of course there is a bit of meditation after exertions, so it does not go too fast. As usual, Ravi's verbal skills are apparent as he instructs with wisdom and clarity. Ana is the perfect, and happy model as she demonstrates the exercises in a lovely set with her and Ravi in voice over with that incredible music.
The time just flies by. There are some difficult moves that I cannot do properly, but I use props. I use blocks, pillows, and a strap occasionally. I am 53 years old with curvature of the spine, and this Yoga has helped my back!
This is great value for the money, especially when purchased from CHAKRA44 seller. It is worth a trip to http:www.raviana.com to see what Ana and Ravi have there about nutrition and fitness. Join their email newsletter, and receive great info every month.
Good mind & body workout August 21, 2008

I've used this dvd twice, and I quite like it. Although its not an high impact workout I still find some of the poses quite challenging. The breath of fire can be quite difficult for someone new to Kundalini yoga, but it works. After the workout I feel very calm and full of energy at the same time. As for the fat burning part- I think thats working too but at a slower pace. For a complete mind and body workout, this dvd deserves 5 stars.
Even Better Than All The 5 Star Reviews Said! August 12, 2008

I bought Ana & Ravi's Kundalini Yoga for Beginners & Beyond and loved it so much that I now own 7 of their DVD's! I've been using them to get in shape. I was never able to stick with regular exercise, but for some reason, I'm able to do these and always look forward to doing them again. This Fat Free Yoga tape has 4 segments which you can do one by one if you don't have lots of time, or you can do all of them. My favorite is Fight Fire w/Fire which has some good ab work and stretching as well as light cardio. I'm really happy that I found this series of DVD workouts!
A Great Find August 10, 2008

Yoga has not always been my favorite thing, but I let myself be swayed by all the great reviews for this product and took the plunge. I'm very grateful that I did. This easy to follow DVD has 4 sets which you can do individually or in total. This type of yoga is sort of a cross between what you get at the gym and what you get in a great yoga class: the feel good yoga and the strength training and ab work at the gym. This DVD is a lot of fun and you never feel like you're working too hard, but just hard enough. Now I'm really curious to see what the other Ana & Ravi DVD's are like. If you would've told me 2 months ago that I'd be hooked on yoga I would never have believed it!
 Easy workout for lazy people like me, who want results! August 8, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have only just received this DVD, so have only used it a handful of times so far...The manouvers are really easy to do for generally everyone, but it is the repetitions of those exercises and the count that you hold your position which you really feel the next day. At the time I didn't realise how hard I was actually working until I woke up the next morning with sore muscles in areas I didn't know I had! This is the perfect DVD for me. I am quite lazy when it comes to exercise, and can give up easily when exercise is too strenuous. This was the perfect moderation of easy to do but challenging, not too hard where I would normally give up, but definitely has room to build on strength and flexibility. I had initially purchased this for Fat Loss, but am unable to comment on this as I have only done the DVD a few times, I will review again in a few months time. Though now, I am also excited about the strenth and tone I am building in my muscles, I feel my body loosening up already and not as stiff as I once was...!
