Rating: Summary: something more Review: If you are becoming put off like I am with all the focus most yoga puts on chasing after the perfect body then I recommend you check out these dvds(I know this sounds ironic what with the title, Fat Free Yoga, but its true)Not that your body won't improve - my body is better after 2 months alternating these workouts then it has ever been. But this is a by-product of the practice and not the MAIN EVENT! Just close your eyes, get into the breathing and you are off on an incredible journey. You will be left with an ENRICHED SOUL, a new outlook, and, yeah, a yoga butt.
Rating: Summary: Be assured of a great workout! Review: Some pathetic person has been posting weird reviews about Ravi Singh and Ana bretts tapes and I had to say something. Maybe this person should be doing the videos, having the experience, and maybe getting a life rather then sitting around stewing about ways to promote their obvious agenda!!!!! These tapes really helped me stabilize not only my weight but my life. I have been doing Ravi Singhs videos for a long time and there is a certain depth that some of the other newer teachers just don't offer. You can really feel the difference when you have a class with someone with 25+ years experience. It is also refreshing to see a kundalini yogi, Ana Brett, execute the moves so flawlessly. One very really sees how kundalini is really meant to be done. I reccomend these tapes for everyone not only if you want to lose weight but if you want to improve your life.
Rating: Summary: something more Review: This is an amazing DVD, which I highly recommend! As a former student of Ravi Singh and Ana Brett, I have nothing but the highest of praise, and the sincerest respect for both. I was lucky to have them as teachers. In addition to doing my part of the work, it was through their teaching, guidance & expertise, that helped in bringing forth my inner strengths, qualities & gracefullness! Thank you, thank you!! Kundalini is the mother of all yogas and the most aerobic of all the forms, and should be practiced with reverence. Yes, it is different from the other yoga forms, as it encompasses meditation, chanting and various breathing techniques, which actually help get you through the different sets. There are those who think Kundalini is weird because of the chanting and the meditation involved, and that's ok, no one is forcing anyone to do what they chose not to do. One would think to look into what Kundalini Yoga entails before purchasing a tape or trying out a class. Unfortunately here in the West, there are those who are afraid of the unfamiliar, especially that which they have never been exposed to, and in turn, try to condemn it because it's not what they expected. Anyway, as with most things here, anything good or positive that helps people take control of their lives, thus making them feel better is usually shot down immediately. Yes, Kundalini Yoga is hard work, but the overall results have been tremendous for me, as well as for other practioners. I have purchased all of Ravi and Ana's dvds, including some of the vhs tapes, and recommend them all. You will get a work out! I do believe Ravi and Ana are in the midst of getting all his older vhs tapes on to dvd, which is why Ana appears on this cover and not the model who is actually doing the work. She is the model in his other dvds. Regardless, I plan to purchase all the dvds when they become available. As the saying goes, "Don't knock it until you've "really" tried it!"

Rating: Summary: The Best Kundalini practices Review: This series of 3-DVDs are wonderful. They include individual segments for a quick workout or you can do them together for a longer practice. Ravi Singh has a very soothing voice. You work hard, then rest and meditate. This type of yoga might not be for everyone, but give Fat Free Yoga a try. Ravi Singh talks during the instruction and for 2 of the DVDs visual instruction is performed by Ana Brett (his current wife). The other DVD is demonstrated by Catherine Quinn. Also, if you get a chance to attend one of Ravi Singh's / Ana Brett's workshop it's well worth the money. They came to Portland before I got their DVDs. It was a fun and rewarding workshop. I went out a bought all the DVDs after that and I'm practicing Kundalini Yoga along with my Hatha Yoga practice every day. Thanks Ravi! Check my other Yoga and Meditation DVD reviews on Amazon.
