Summary: Surprisingly wonderful
Review: As a Kundalini convert I didn't think I would find much variety for home practice DVDs or tapes out there, and part of what makes the live classes so fun and challenging is that they are different every day- you cannot adapt and anticipate the way you can with Hatha classes. So I ordered two of Ravi Singh's DVDs and 2 Mantra Girl DVDs for a little variety. I was deligthed to find that they are all fabulous and challenging in different ways. This particular DVD focuses on liver cleansing and balancing, which was exactly what I was working on at the time since I am addressing old anger issues now. It's the kind of class I was able to do right out of bed in the morning without feeling too jolted or shocked but I definitely felt invigorated and enlivened. The breath work alone makes this a divine morning practice and I plan to use this several times per week as a detox wakeup call. I particularly love the explanations Ravi gives while Ana is demonstrating- I find it empowering and helpful to know exactly what the benefits are of the movements and what areas you are addressing specifically. If you like to learn about your body while you deepen your practice, you will love these DVDs.

Summary: Absolutely Inspiring
Review: I am a dedicated practioner of many types of yoga(Ashtanga, hatha, Iyengar, Power, etc..). I own several Kundalini yoga dvds but nothing has ever inspired my practice like these latest tapes with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett! These are easily the best tapes out there.
I just took an amazing week long workshop with the two of them at Omega which is what prompted me to buy these dvds.
The depth of their knowledge(Ravi has been teaching for 30 years and Anas been doing this since childhood) is incredible. They don't just give a class they give an experience!
I am thrilled to depth with these dvds since they do the same thing. It is a guarantee that you will feel like a new person everytime you do one of these workouts.
One more thing - they make yoga accesible to everyone and every dvd is totally different. Genious!!!!!!

Summary: It's all right, but I wasn't blown away
Review: I borrowed this dvd from a friend, along with Total Tune-Up, despite some reservations about the marketing. The whole "you must see Ana Brett, she's oh so awesome to watch" sell put me off a bit. There are many yoga videos and dvds with excellent instructors (though I'd call Ana more of a demonstrator). Of course they're good at what they do. Or so one would hope. This big sell on Ana Brett makes more sense when you realize she's Ravi Singh's young bride whom he oohs and awes over. So he's in love and can't contain his enthusiasm. Whatever. It strikes me as a strange way to market a dvd. There are other elements I would rather hear about to be swayed to buy the product.

Ravi's videos and dvds all have things in common. He talks nonstop using strange phrases and is a bit goofy. Ravi has somewhat of a self-proclaimed guru stance which can be a turn off. Many people I've talked to in kundalini yoga circles find him downright annoying (or learn over time to tune him out). The yoga exercises on his videos/dvds tend to repeat themselves. If you have none of his videos/dvds, you're okay. But after one or two don't bother with the rest. The backgrounds are plain. The music isn't great. The only thing going for them is the yoga itself, but you can find terrific kundalini yoga on dvd and video elsewhere. As kundalini yoga has wonderful benefits and is a joy to do, I wouldn't say this dvd is a total waste of money. I'd just sooner go with Erin Kamler's kundalini yoga dvds, or Donna Davidge is another great instructor. Time spent with them is more worthwhile, and much more inspiring. And personally I think you get more for your money.

Summary: Yoga with a kick
Review: I got 3 kundalini dvds for christmas: Fat Free, Total Tune Up, and Yoga Cleanse. This is my introduction to kundalini yoga. Its really different from the yogas I have done. You are moving, flexing, and rotating, breathing all the while. I like to alternate my workouts so I can do another one everyday.
The first thing I noticed was that even if I started my day tired or with a headache I would end it elated and pain free and with a good sense of self. I think the secret is in the breathing not only for your body but for your psyche. I have always been a creative person but I was never able to just let myself be an artist. It may be a coincidence, but since I have been doing these tapes I have been making art like I never could before and have the confidence to call myself an artist.
The instructors in these tapes are quite good. Ravi Singh is like a fountain of wisdom and Ana Brett is like a nymph or a sprite. I get a kick out of watching her do yoga.
All the dvds can be broken into segments which I like.
I recommend these tapes very highly.

Summary: These are the best yoga dvds I have ever done!
Review: I got the yoga cleanse and the total tune up dvds together and I have to say - they are definitely the best yoga dvds I have ever seen or done.
I love the warmups especially and the way this type of yoga moves and stretches the body as you breath makes you feel amazing! All I need to do is one segment of either tape and I feel fully energized!
I would highly recommend these dvds to anyone who wants a total workout inside and out

Summary: immediate results
Review: I got this tape after taking a yoga cleanse workshop with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett(I recommend you take one of their excellent workshops if you ever get a chance). I had felt sluggish, bloated and fatigued. I experienced deep and immediate results not only at a detox level but at all levels of my being. I got this tape so I could continue the work.
This one should be done two times a week to keep the liver healthy and I am planning to get their Total Tune Up and Fat Free Yoga tapes to alternate with.
There is a warmup and then 2 thirty minute sets. Any level can do it. Thanks Ravi & Ana for your excellent work!

Summary: Thanks Ravi & Ana!
Review: I have been doing yoga for about 2 years now and exploring different types. The Kundalini Yoga DVDs with Ravi Singh & Ana Brett have stayed my favorites. I saw The Yoga Cleanse featured on Amazon today and had to write to say how amazing it is. I alternate the Cleanse with Total Tune Up and doing them everyday I feel stretched, relaxed, energized and in the best health I can probably be in.
The Cleanse is a little over an hour long with warmups and 2 30 minute sets. I like that these DVDs are challenging but not impossible. The workouts alternate vigorous movements with rest and there is an excellent chanting meditation on both DVDs. Kundlaini yogs is unlike any other workout there seems to be a wisdom built into the the sequences that works all the aspects of the body.
I like Ravi And Anas style too...I hope they make many more DVDs. I highly recommend this one!!

Summary: These DVDs are Wonderful!!!
Review: I love Kundalini Yoga and I absolutely love this new series of Kundalini DVDs and Videos by Ravi Singh and Ana Brett called Fat Free Yoga. I have been practicing this form of Yoga for years and have always found Ravi Singh an excellent teacher and dedicated Yoga master. I own many of Ravi's earlier instructional videos and have always found them the perfect way to enhance and sharpen my Kundalini study. Ravi's teaming up with Ana Brett has brought these DVDs and Videos to an even higher level. Her form is amazing and precise. She is strong without looking like she lifts weights. My girlfriend and I practice along to one of the DVDs every morning when we get up. We usually rotate our workouts going through each of the 3 DVDs (1 a day) and then starting them over again. After we finish we are always charged and ready to face the day. We have both taken off weight due to our daily practice along to Ravi and Ana's instruction. Both my girlfriend and I have more energy and are sleeping better also.

For those new to this form of Yoga, Kundalini is different from other forms. It is an all body workout and therapeutic practice helping your organs as well as your muscles, skeletal structure and mental well being. It will actually help to remove toxins from your body, from organs like your liver and kidneys. Following the instruction on these DVDs and Videos give my girlfriend and I a total body workout.

I recommend the complete Fat Free Yoga series by Ravi Singh and Anna Brett without hesitation.

Summary: This tape helped my liver make a comeback!
Review: I'm what you might call a typical American male. I drink beer on weekends. Sometimes more then I should. And even though I work out when I can I am not above indulging in a cheeseburger with fries once in awhile.
Lately I had been feeling bloated and nauseous alot. My girlfriend, who happens to be a yoga instructor, told me it was probably my liver and bought me the Yoga Cleanse tape. I have to say it is not what I expected. I though yoga was standing on your head and stretching and different poses. This was one of those things that I couldn't even imagine. Lots of breathing and novel exercises. I have to say it gets right to the point which I liked.
I have been doing this three times a week. If I don't have time to do the whole thing I just do 20 minutes which is enough to help turn my day around and put me on a good track.
I feel alot better. This tape has inspired me to get my act together.
I would recommend Yoga Cleanse to everyone sinceI don't think there is anyone who couldn't use a little detoxing.
I hope this review helped.

Summary: Not easy for beginners
Review: I've been doing yoga for almost two years, about 2x/week on average. Although, albeit, only videos from Gaiam, Yogoa zone & Vinyasa Flow w/Rainbow Mars. Though from that time I have lost 10 lbs, eaten a very pure diet for almost 5 years, never smoked, went from unable to stretch at all to almost a full russian split, and very flexible & loose compared to most people. I have moderate level of ability, not an expert. I tried this DVD & the breathing alone I almost hyperventilated on. I ordered it months ago & remember not being able to even get beyond about 15 minutes though I really pushed myself hard. I'm only putting this review so you know it isn't easy by any means & not everyone thinks it's the best yoga DVD out there.
