(Akshara Weave has done it again...and even better!) 『This album is one of those you could listen to everyday (and I probably have) and never get tired of. The symbol, which focuses on the mental body, really let's the mind settle down and encourages being more present. This recording embodies the quality of the symbol very naturally and profoundly. The sounds are soothing and gentle, bringing the listener deeper into one's own being. I highly recommend this album, as well as Weave's others. Each one is as unique as the symbols. He has done an amazing job at translating them into harmonious and healing sound. It adds a whole other dimension to a Reiki session, as well as meditation and other healing sessions.』 『Third album by this Artist』
IPhone 3G used's review (The Best!!) 『I can't believe anyone thought this was "so-so" - well, that's what makes life interesting...I have taught yoga for a long time and I never get tired of this CD. I love every single thing on the first disc. Totally amazing both for classes and also for background music when I'm doing research in my office.』
(Great for Yoga Practice and Meditation) 『I really love this CD for my yoga classes. Disc 1 escalates at a nice pace for a beautiful flow practice and Disc 2 is wonderful for the cooling phase and meditation. All of the artists are favorites of mine, especially Deva Premal.』

(Soothing) 『Planet Yoga, a two-CD set of Indian chants songs and ambient creates the perfect environment for the practice of yoga, exercise, contemplation and relaxation. The first CD is designed as an accompaniment to yoga. The second CD in the collection is designed to enhance relaxation and meditative practices by presenting an ambient soundscape that creates a space that engenders a vibration of peace. This is one of the most relaxing CD's you'll find. This is a great CD to listen to on the way home after a long, stressful day at work.』
(Two great differing discs) 『These two discs will make a welcome addition to a collection of music used for Yoga and contemplation. The first disc offers music with lots of melodic pulse. The second disc is much more mellow and beautiful in its own way. The various artists featured are all great. They are my favorites! You'll benefit from the artistry of Deva Premal, Jai Uttal, Drala and much more. You can't go wrong with this compilation.』

Good to listen to when you need to concentrate too........ overall avery good album』
(Amazing Peace) 『Manish combines excellent Indian classical sounds with neoclassical fusion of electronica. Also a good sampler of how Indian music is taking a global form. Tumi Bhaja re Mana evokes the soul to pray, Ishq is ode to eternal love, Shivoham is soul journey to Nirvana... U』 『Sattva (Sanskrit for "the essence of being") invokes the silent, serene space that awaits us beyond our mind. On this soulful debut offering, gifted multi-instrumentalist Manish Vyas displays a splendid musical sensibility. His expressive voice and rich compositions based on ancient mantras and tarana reflect a natural intuition for crafting dynamic soundscapes from traditional influences.
The product of a musical family and student of the late tabla maestro Ustad Allarakha (the father of Zakir Hussain), Manish demonstrates his astounding rhythmic talents--as well as his seductive vocal virtuosity and mastery of the santoor--to full effect. With contributions from longtime collaborator Prem Joshua (Water Down the Ganges, Dance of Shakti) and an international cast of gifted musicians, Sattva vibrates with silence, devotion and prayer--an ideal accompaniment to yoga, massage, meditation and enlightened listening.
This organic blend of tabla, violin, sitar, flute, percussion and understated electronica flows freely from Manish Vyas' spiritually-inspired aesthetic and leads the listener into Sattva...the state of balance and harmony.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Not for actual beginners!) 『Introduction for beginners?! It would have been nice if they took the time to demonstrate the poses and postures first before jumping right into the routine. I don't think this is a good DVD for beginners. They don't actually show you how to do anything! Basically you watch them show off their experience without explanation. I wanted to learn the proper way TO DO the postures. I wanted to be able to relax and enjoy this, but instead I hurt my neck from craning to see poses that were never fully explained. It is not a good DVD for beginners who actually want to "learn." The guy rambles about breathing technique, mixing in Yoga postures, doesn't explain anything, and basically... they filmed themselves doing Yoga. It isn't teaching if you don't actually teach! It isn't instruction if you don't instruct! It isn't for beginners if you don't take the time to show a beginner how to do a pose and posture properly! Actually I think this DVD is unsafe! You could injure yourself doing some of these poses without "proper" instruction. I am sure a lot of "real" people will walk away with a pulled muscle.』
(Nice introduction to power yoga....) 『This is another Yoga Zone DVD divided into 2-20 minute segments, this time introducing us to the world of power yoga. It is a nice program. Al Bingham leads the first segment, he is joined by Jen Monness. They are once again at the Grand Lidos San Souci resort where many of the Yoga Zone shows are filmed.
You start off in mountain pose and do a sun salutation lifting arms up and out while diving into a forward bend, this is repeated a few times, nice beginning to the program. You then will go into plank pose and link with downward facing dog, this is also repeated a few times. Next is warrior 1 with a nice flowing in and out of the pose, then you will go back into plank and downward facing dog but this time go into warrior 2 then into right angle pose. Then you go back into warrior 1 with a different variation before moving into chair pose. Once in chair you will move into a forward bend, then lengthen the spine while putting your hands on your shins. More planks follow, but this time you will lower into chataranga. The balance of this segment is done on the floor, seated forward bends, cross legged seat into plank, reverse plank, kneeling spinal twist, camel pose, side lean before finishing in a cross legged seat.
Segment 2 is led by Lisa Bennett, again joining her is Jen Monness. You will start by lying on your back, moving your arms above head while bringing your knees into your chest, first alternating knees, then both. Then you will do moving bridge pose, and a lying spinal twist with your knees to one side then the other. Next you will move into a combination of cat and seal pose, followed by a brief sun salutation in which you rise up onto your knees, then shins while lifting arms overhead. Then you will move into downward facing dog, Lisa will have your bend and straighten your knees while in this pose, then you will notice that you can go a little further into it, I particularly liked how she did that. You will stretch out in seal pose before doing a brief vinyasa combining cat pose with downward facing dog and seal pose. Following this is a really nice spinal twist done while on your knees. The last half of this segment is done standing, at this point a bird shrieks rather loud which is a bit distracting. You will start in mountain pose then move into blown palm which is basically a side lean in standing position. Then you dive down into a forward bend before moving into lunge pose (high or low) while extending arms up and down. A combination of plank pose and downward facing dog follows before repeating the lunge series on the other side only this time you will bend forward while extending the arms up and down. Then you will go into lunge again, this time while lifting arms up and down you will also lower up and down which provides a little extra challenge and balance. Before repeating this on the other side you will do another set of planks/downward facing dog. This segment concludes with a cross legged seat into a spinal stretch, seated forward bend and final meditation/relaxation pose.
This program is geared toward beginners, but beginners that are a little familiar with yoga, complete beginners should look for a different program with a more instruction. This program would be suitable for intermediates as well, advanced people will find this too easy. I thought both instructors did a decent job overall and this is a good place to start for those interested in power yoga.』
(a powerful beginning) 『Yoga Zone: Introduction to Power Yoga
Al Bingham leads the first part, followed, again, by Jen Moness. This segment has not neglected its underlying pedagogical focus. He offers the inspiring notion that the 'power' of power yoga comes from within. This sequence builds the ideas and the postures already presented, but it is faster and uses more repetitions. The second part, led by Lisa Bennett, wraps up the series, gently returning to the vital link between movement and breath.
Al's lineup of postures includes a review of the old, and some new additions. Among the highlights, in my opinion, lies his approach to the classic shift between downward dog and plank pose. He models this flow, explains it, and leaves it. This dynamic set of moves is present in almost every yoga program I have seen, and never once, except for now, has the technique been adequately explained. He and Jen flow into and out of warrior I and warrior II, and do a knee strengthening chair pose, and forward bends.
He reiterates the focus of the program, this time stating that the ''power'' in power-yoga is being aware of what the body is doing. They do three reps of shifting between downward dog and plank, and return to demonstrating the correct postural alignment in these fundamental positions. Continuing from the earlier programs, he and Jen also return to seated bends and spinal alignment-postures, such as a modified push-up.
Lisa returns to lead the last twenty minutes of the series. She brings Jen with her. Her routine is slow but effective, and conscientiously revisits the goals presented at the beginning, to find a balance between resistance and serenity.
She and Jen fluidly move between double leg extensions, a hamstring stretch, and the dynamic bridge. They return to the bent leg supine twist, of the first program. However, instead of using this lying twist as a relaxing posture, they do several repetitions, turning it into a dynamic one. They also do several sequences to build flexibility in the spine. As in earlier programs, they use the effective stretching and folding of the thunderbolt posture, and add the (dynamic) cat. Lisa reviews downward dog, but emphasizes the extension of the spine without neglecting the positioning of the back of the legs. They also return to the lone palm, plank, warrior, and standing forward bends.
She and Jen conclude the program sitting in a cross-legged position. They take a moment to remember that link between the breath, the mind and the body, that Lisa claims, is secret to health and clarity. It is like, as she states in the end, ''washing your consciousness.'' 』
(Excellent intro for wimps like me...) 『I've been doing Kripalu yoga for over a year (and did Hatha years ago) and have been curious about this new"power yoga"craze. I trust Yoga Zone for good instruction, so I asked for this DVD as a Christmas present. I was very pleased, both by the way the disk is segmented -- two sessions -- and by the level and pace. If you've been wanting to try power yoga, but are afraid or not very athletic, I'd definitely try this one.』
(Misleading Title) 『When I read the title"Power Yoga"I assumed that I'd be getting an intense workout. I was wrong, I didn't even break a sweat. Power Yoga, is about connecting the body with the breath. The poses are very, very easy and very slow. The first instructor is really annoying and the dubbing for the second half is poorly done. Yoga Zone has a few good DVD's but this isn't one of them.』 『"Power Yoga" has gradually become the aerobics of the new millennium, driven by a no-pain-no-gain ethos that emphasizes sweat and strengthening over yoga's more subtle benefits. But this two-part, 40-minute Yoga Zone program takes a more mild approach, hewing to the philosophy that the power of power yoga depends less on aggressive, strenuous poses than on conscious awareness of oneself and the vital link between breath and movement. Both parts rely on brisk, flowing repetitions of severalvinyasas(connected series of poses). The first includes some standing positions (mountain, warrior I and II, etc.), lunges, twists, side stretches, and the camel backbend; those new to yoga will find the sequence alternating between the downward dog and plank positions to be fairly demanding, but there's nothing outrageously hard here. The second part again concentrates on the downward dog, one of the essential poses in yoga, along with twists, stretches (like the "blown palm," a standing side stretch), forward bends, lunges and so on. The virtue of repeatingvinyasas-- i.e., moving in and out of several poses, one breath at a time--is that it reinforces proper breathing patterns, and the instructors do a good job of reminding you when to inhale and exhale, which is not so simple as it might sound. More warm-up time would be helpful--beginners and experienced yogis alike should do some stretching before starting--but once you get going, the DVD menu allows for easy selection of either part, or the various series within them. You can also do the practice without the instruction, accompanied only by the music.--Sam Graham』 『With its, easy-to-follow approach, the Yoga Zone - Intro to Power Yoga for Beginners from Video Action Sports is the perfect way to tone your entire body. The two complete, integrated sessions on this video feature a popular, flowing yoga style that builds strength, increases flexibility and promotes inner peace.』
IPhone 3G used's review (crap) 『One of the worst yoga videos I've ever seen. You would have thought they had to catch a plane judging by the speed they go through the poses. By the time you get into one pose, they are into the next one.』
(Become One with Yoga for Two!) 『My husband and I have just begun to practice yoga together in the past month. I find the quality of Gaiam/Yoga Journal productions to be top notch, so I was looking forward to receiving this video. We LOVE it! Our only 'complaint' is we enjoyed it so much, we wish the practice was longer! Rodney Yee and his wife lead us thru a gentle and beautiful 'dance' of yoga. The gorgeous setting on a beach helps set a serene frame of mind. The married couple coach us to assist each other thru the poses, which we found very helpful. I especially like the sequences where we are directed to take turns assisting each other thru one side of a pose, then together with our right feet touching each other, we both go into the pose for the other side together. Lovely bonding time! Namaste. :)』
(2 complaints) 『The video was OK, but not as good as we hoped it would be. My husband and I are athletic, however, we felt rushed and un-coordinated while trying to follow this video.
First, there is not much time between different poses, so we constantly had to pause the video and figure out how to position our arms and legs correctly so we can feel that we are actually doing yoga (and not aerobics). It has improved slightly when we followed the video a few times, but it is still rather fast paced. And second, this video requires lots of floor space, so don't buy it unless you have at least 20 square feet of practice space.
I feel that my husband and I bond better while doing yoga moves independently than following this couple-oriented video.』
(good one) 『Yoga-THE UNION OF HUMAN SOUL TO SUPREME SOUL』 『"LetYoga for Twohelp you let go of your isolation and spend some precious time together," invites expert instructor Rodney Yee. Yoga doesn't have to be a solitary practice. In this 20-minute video, Yee and his wife Donna Fone demonstrate yoga moves that a couple can do together.Yoga for Twois designed like a dance, the moves sometimes intertwining, sometimes mirroring each other. Sometimes one person does the posture while the partner helps adjust the other's form. Sometimes they do different, complementary moves, like one partner crouched in the child's pose while the other is draped over him or her in a supported backbend. You learn not only yoga, but how to communicate with your partner gently, in the spirit of yoga practice, and how to flow with another person. The cueing is exceptional, giving clear instructions and alignment tips. Fone demonstrates some modifications. Everything about this video is beautiful: the grace of the couple; the elegance of the postures; the sun-washed, golden beach, waves sparkling in the background.--Joan Price』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (well-designed and beautifully presented) 『I've seen a number of "AM&PM" style yoga, and chi gung video programs. I found this one to be the best so far.
Although the routines are fairly simple, Elena Brower's depth of experience and knowledge are obvious both in her physical demonstration of postures as well as her voice-over instruction. Her precise descriptions mixed with helpful suggestions ("smile gently through this posture," etc) are delivered so fluidly, I actually felt like I was in a Yoga class.
The ocean-side back-drop is really quite lovely and the lighting and video quality are excellent. The camera angles are also well-coordinated to give a complete picture of every posture as it's performed.
In virtually every sense, this is a 5 star video. Elena is certainly a 5 star instructor. The only area I found it lacking in is with regard to it being a video for beginners.
In my opinion, this video is more appropriate for someone who already has some prior experience with personal Yoga instruction, at least enough to have learned and practiced the basics, like Sun Salutation, for a few months.
I feel that the pace, which roughly equivalent to a typical yoga class, may be a bit fast for someone who's completely new to the practice. For absolute beginners, I would recommend watching and studying the video at least once through before actually attempting to follow along.
Also, while Elena does briefly demonstrate modifications of each posture, I feel it would have been more helpful for true beginners to have an assistant demonstrating the modifications in tandem with Elena throughout the program.
Overall, this is an excellent video. But one that I think is better suited for those who have already begun to practice Yoga or are seeking re-introduce themselves to the basics. Whether or not it is appropriate for beginners, I think depends on one's definition of a beginner.』
(Great support for Beginners) 『This DVD is great for beginners who have had a yoga class and are ready to follow the usual type of directions you get from an instructor. And who already have a practice mat. The routines are simple but not too easy so this will give a beginner good practice and room to grow toward being intermediate.』
(Very good beginner Yoga DVD, PM is very good for stress relief.) 『If you are a beginner, this is a very good DVD. It is a simple workout, well-planned and well-executed. It is NOT demanding, and the instructor provides many modifications for positions. The scenery is attractive but nor a distraction, and the languaging is good.
There are many Yoga videos like this (AM/PM routines), and it is a good idea to have several of them to rotate so that you don't get bored or stale.
If you have absolutely zero experience with Yoga and want a 'first taste' of Yoga, this is a very good place to start. It is gentle, well-explained, and easy to follow.
If you are looking for a good beginner DVD, I would recommend this one. It is not demanding, and there is a fair variety of positions in the AM workout. It is mildly challenging. The PM workout is very gentle and relaxing.
If you are looking for an easy stress-reduction Yoga DVD, the 'PM' workout is particularly good.
If you are an experienced, intermediate, or advanced practitioner, you probably don't need this DVD.
』
(A perfect practice to begin or end your day....) 『I do yoga a few times a week as well as aerobic exercise, dance and other forms of exercise. I was interested in trying Elena Brower's yoga am/pm for two reasons. One, is that she has a good reputation as a top yoga instructor, and the other was that my other yoga practices are longer, most at about the one hour mark and this would allow me to squeeze in a bit of yoga in on a day when I wanted a little extra, or didn't have time for my full practice. Both the am and pm practice are roughly 30 minutes.
The set is beautiful, with flowers and ocean in the background. Elena's voice is calming and is friendly without being "chatty". As any good yoga instructor, she reminds you when to inhale and exhale so that you really open up to the poses. This is the essence of yoga of any type, the breathing. Even if this is all you gain, you will have come away with an important aspect of yoga and a good tool to go back to when you are in the midst of your regular day and all of it's challenges.
I have been doing yoga for several years through dvd's and enjoy working with the styles of different teachers. Once you are familiar with the basics, you can take the beginners practices and build up to a more intermediate pose as the postures are the same as many you will know and have been practicing. If you are a true beginner, this is a fine dvd. Elena explains how to start and as in the boat pose (an abdominal and balance pose) shows you three separate variations, depending on your level of fitness and flexibility.
I found the am practice to be rejuvinating and helped me start my day breathing fully, and felt that I had really loosened up. The pm practice was soothing and relaxing and I know I will find myself going to this practice for a little relaxation and stress relief from a hard day.
Yoga differs from my regular exercise in that it keeps me more in tune with how I feel and in proper breathing. It does not matter how deeply I go into a pose or how hard I push, it is there to allow you to open your muscles, become more flexible, and tone, but also to sooth the mind and bring yourself to a better place. For that reason, yoga is something that I do as a supplement to other forms of exercise that generally work my body only.
I was definitely impressed with Elena's style and would seek out other yoga dvd's that she has out or puts out in the future.
For a nice introduction to yoga, I would pick this one up and do something good for yourself....mind and body.』
(Beginner's Yoga by Elena Brower) 『This is a 64 minute DVD of beginner's yoga demonstrated in two sequences; AM and PM yoga by yoga master Elena Brower. The AM sequence has basic poses with gentle stretching and bending with repetitions to tone, and streamline the muscles. AM sequence also includes Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutation), which is defined by a series of six specific postures with a breathing pattern. The PM sequence is designed to stretch the muscles. Most beginners could benefit from this DVD as the yoga practice demonstrated in the DVD is easy to follow and it does not involve difficult asanas.
The background music is soothing, but it would have been more appropriate to use Hindustani classical music, especially instrumental music such as sitar or violin using a morning raga for AM yoga demonstration, and an evening raga for the PM yoga demonstration.

(Energizes and strengthens) 『I've practiced with different Pilates DVD's, and I thought this one was really good. I felt the exercises were challenging enough and effective, and I like that you can choose to work on certain target areas as opposed to doing the full 30-minute work-out. The 10-minute bonus segment is also a nice feature. It can be used by itself for a quick overall work-out or can be added on to the full work-out for times you prefer more exercise. Ellen has great energy and her style of instruction is clear, evenly paced, and easy to follow.』

I didn't know if I had it in me to "let go" and move without detailed steps. But, I'm really glad that I tried this DVD anyway. I love the DVD and the scenery, and sometimes letting go is exactly what I need. Plus, I love the matrix option, and I can workout for as long or as short as I want, or I can do a high intensive or low intensive routine. I can only do this DVD when I'm alone, though. I'd feel pretty self-conscious with anyone watching me...they might think that I was having an episode (:』
(Moving to the Beat of your Breath!!) 『Ok, so I admit... I always secretly wanted to be a dancer, and this dvd will make ANYONE feel like a dancer! I've always loved Shiva Rea and this dvd is just an added addition to some of her more "instructional" classes. Eric Shiffman is doing something similar to this now too... I was lucky enough to practice Trance Dance live with Shiva Rea about 5 years ago and this DVD brings me right back to that wonderful experience I had! Sometimes it's ok to LET GO in a yoga class. Often times there's so much rigidity in classes that we can tend to forget that it's not always about the perfect movement... it's about truly feeling alive! TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION』
