IPhone 3G used's review (Great for yoga) 『This CD (as well as a more recent lifescapes yoga CD)turned out to be one of my favorite CD's to teach yoga to. Every track is supurb. It starts off with slow and gentle music, then builds up gradually to more vigourous music. It matches a yoga routine perfectly and has very traditional Indian tones to the music and uses Indian instruments. All tracks are instrumental with no vocals. I highly recomend this for teaching yoga, or for practicing yoga at home. It is also great to use while doing body work.』
(Track List) 『Track Title 1. A Breath Of Stillness 2. A Journey Within; Part One: Preparing For Movement; Part Two: The Journey Begins 3. Eternal Fire 4. The River Of Transcendence 5. Mandala 6. Subtle Body 7. Inner Strength, Inner Peace 』
(This is a don't miss CD!) 『I, too, bought this CD at Target for $9.99 and have played it thousands of times. I originally intended to use it just for Yoga but it's great for meditation or simply relaxing -- and -- it doesn't irritate my husband! He likes it to.』
(Ultimate Relaxation Tool, NOW HERE!!!) 『Lifescapes, one of the top instrumental and Natura-sound producers on the planet, now brings the ultimate CD for both relaxation and Yoga. The music begins as a soft chord hum, but picks up the beat of tabla drums, cymbals, and maraccas, in a breathtaking sound unlike none of their other CDs.
I have owned this CD for a little over a year, and it has been the easiest means of relaxation, bar none. One gratefully acknowledge the producers of such a brilliant sound, which takes months to perfect on disc.Lifescapes is expert in all thier beautiful music, but this 'Yoga' tops all!
A word to Amazon, though, the price is a bit steep, compared to that of the store where I originally bought my copy--Target, who offered it at $9.99, plus tax. Otherwise, you won't be dissappointed--this CD is perfectly GUARANTEED to promote ultimate tranquility and rest. It's excellent to listen to for self-hypnosis, meditation, sleep/naps, and especially for unwinding after a long day at work.

It has been a great tool to engage the kids. The kids come from different backgrounds, but all enjoy the varying songs and moves. It is amazing to see 20+ kids settle into the routines and move from energetic lion roars to peaceful tree movements. The songs are catchy and easy to remember. Try out the CD, you won't be disappointed!』
(Love it! Love it! Love it!) 『This CD has been one of my best purchases both professionally and personally; in fact I recently purchased a second for those occasional times I misplace the first. I am an occupational therapist practicing in both pediatric and adult-rehab. settings as well as a mother of two theatrical little girls ages 4 and 2. The CD itself is fun to look at and the downloadable lyrics and pictured poses are a wonderful tool. I printed, laminated, and placed them in a binder which makes it such an easy reference guide. This also allows the students and my children to look through the pages to choose particular songs as well as become more familiar with the postures. Depending on the setting or the individual need of the child at the time of our session, I can choose songs that either awaken or calm as well as choose a song that will promote a specific muscle/joint movement that we are trying to achieve. I have found that each song is individual in composition yet each provides the opportunity for the child to achieve and maintain a posture. The Reflection and Namaste songs are beautiful; those two songs and the remaining instrumental songs are great for breathing/chanting exercises, preparing the body for yoga, and for cool down/relaxation. I have worked with children that cannot follow 2-step directions yet can complete multiple yoga sequences to this beautiful music....AMAZING!! Non-verbal children who are now making sounds, chanting, or even expressing phrases.....INSPIRING! I can go on and on... Personally, I love using this at home just for fun, to get my girls to cool down, or even to just get them started for the day. My oldest loves #8 The butterfly, and my youngest loves #7 Jungle Adventure. Some evenings my husband will walk through the door and my two year old is running up to him yelling "Yogi Daddy" and he too joins in. I have found that even doing one song in the morning with my 4 year old will help organize her to get ready on school days. As for me, I am more flexible and coordinated than ever. I am now able to do tricks I haven't done since high school such as cartwheels, backbends.... Also, I had varying degrees of back pain almost daily since my 2nd child and basically have been pain free for months. Best Part, without any other change in my exercise routine other than incorporating the yoga into my practice and home life, I am back to my pre-baby weight!! Thank you for this C.D.!!!!!』
(Good CD with routines you can get from your computer) 『I enjoy using this CD with students in school. The music is engaging and the students enjoy the yoga sessions. I find that I have to keep referring to the pictures of the routines rather than just following the musical instuctions. I would have preferred to have the instuctions imbedded in the music so I wouldn't have to look at the printed routines. Maybe practice and repeated use will eliminate the need for this.』
(Quite S...L...O...W...) 『I am a children's yoga instructor and am always on the lookout for great music to use in my classes. I was very excited about this cd. I popped it into my car cd player and was almost put to sleep after the first song. They are very slow, the music is a little weird...as though they are trying way to hard to "jazz" it up. Kids have LOTS of energy and want to move. These songs are too slow. HOWEVER, I have been able to use a few of the songs at the end of my classes during their rest time and before class as the kids are entering the room.』
(Musical Yoga Adventures) 『My daughter recently bought this "Musical Yoga Adventures" CD for my two granddaughters, ages 3 and 1. My daughter and her two little ones have enjoyed the CD so much. This unique CD has provided a nice opportunity for my daughter and her daughters to have fun exercising, dancing, and singing together. My 3-year-old granddaughter has memorized most of the words to the songs. After seeing how much all three of them enjoyed the CD, I purchased two copies and gave them to my friends' grandchildren for their first birthdays. I am planning to purchase more "Musical Yogo Adventures" CD's to give to my two grandsons and to other children for Christmas.』

I haven't worked out in ages and wanted to ease into yoga before taking the more rigorous live classes. This was the perfect stepping stone as I'm able to move at my own pace. Kundalini yoga not only works on flexibility, it also helps with strength and also includes meditation - the perfect balance for me. I would DEFINITELY recommend this video.』
(Beautiful and energizing!) 『I love this video! Gurmukh's instruction opens up the spirit through physical movement. It's changed the way I look at exercise.』
(on 2nd viewing) 『it seems some of the exercises she gives breathing instructions and and on others (esp with fast twisting) no mention of breath at all.』
(Gurmukh) 『This is a classic. I like to do this one best in the morning when my energy is high. It jump starts the day in a glorious way, and I swear after this dvd it's like there's just no stopping me. I own alot of kundalini dvd's and I practice nearly every day and this is among my favorites. Though it is more calisthenic than some sets on other dvd's, it does leave you with that great spiritual feel......that special yoga glow. I love Gurmuhk's style.』
(This instructor is soooo inspiring!) 『I was skeptical about getting this DVD worrying it might be too "out there" but it isn't. The instruction, music and setting is awesome.

IPhone 3G used's review (a great ashtanga dvd) 『I've practiced yoga for many years and Ashtanga yoga, specifically, for about two years. I still go to class at a studio once or twice per week, as a DVD cannot substitute for an actual teacher. However, classes are pricey, so I purchased this DVD to motivate myself and friends to do the practice at home. This DVD has been perfect.
The beauty of this DVD is that you don't have to be familiar with the Ashtanga practice to follow it. Prior yoga practice is recommended, however. A friend participated who had never practiced yoga, and he joined in and followed through the entire primary series. However, he thought it was difficult and would have preferred starting out at an easier level. That said though, you can watch the intro which explains the poses before doing the practice itself, which is a separate video on this same DVD.
Also, beginners and advanced Ashtanga practitioners can practice TOGETHER using this DVD since advanced and beginning poses are cued throughout the practice. This is wonderful because my friends and I are all at different levels but can follow the DVD together each week at my house. I LOVE THIS!! Typically, this is not possible in a class; I notice that when new students show up for class, the teacher tones the class way down, leaves out poses, etc. Now the option to do beginning and advanced versions of each pose is available.
One reviewer mentioned that this DVD gets hard at the end. Yes, the primary series is a difficult practice. But, the great thing is that you can do just the sun salutations at the beginning and consider that a full practice as long as you follow it up with corpse pose. So don't be intimated! Just stop the DVD and fast forward to the finishing sequences if you get to the point where the practice is too difficult. This is how Ashtanga is traditionally taught - you begin by adding one or two poses in the sequence at a time until you've memorized it and are able to do it.. then move on. So this DVD lets you do that, too.
In addition, the instructor is very encouraging and doesn't push the student beyond his/her limits. Alternative poses are always offered and he encourages you to sit out the vinyasas if you become tired, etc., not intimidating or making you feel bad at all if you are not in tip top shape or at top performance that day.
I highly recommend this for beginner and advanced ashtanga folks. This has really allowed me to deepen my practice without having to spend a ton of money at the studio.』
(Great Ashtanga video) 『If you have done an Ashtanga class before and are looking to continue your practice at home, this is a great DVD. It is much better that the Gaiam Ahstanga Yoga DVD. David Swenson is a much better instructor and the full Primary Series is on here. David includes options for modification and he also includes a lot of reminders for engaging the core, using proper form, etc. While it cannot replace taking a class with an instructor, I highly recommend this DVD to use at home to supplement your practice, or to use on vacation, etc. I am very pleased with this dvd, worth every penny. 』
(He's so good it may be discouraging) 『Although this is the first series, it's probably not the best video for a beginner. The first half of the video is simple enough, but many poses toward the end of the session seem impossible. If you've done yoga at least a few times and are looking to push yourself, then Swenson is the man to watch. If you get discouraged by watching exceptionally talented people, then you should go to a local yoga studio and not get this video. I like the video because Swenson is amazing and I can see exactly how postures should be done.』
(This is Ashtanga, the original Power Yoga) 『This is a DVD of the Ashtanga Primary Series. (If you are unfamiliar with Ashtanga don't let the word "primary" fool you: this is a serious and challenging workout).
Ashtanga is a set series of poses (ie the same poses every time). It is an active, moving type of yoga. You get very hot and sweaty as you simultaniously build strength and flexiblity.
You should learn yoga under the guidance of a competent teacher. Ashtanga is a daily practice but if you can't make it to class every day this DVD is an excellent way to practice at home.
IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER OR NOVICE THIS DVD IS NOT FOR YOU. If you are new to yoga there is no substitute for a live teacher. Either take a class or better yet a few private lessons so you develop a strong foundation from the beginning.
It is an excellent DVD for those with previous Ashtanga experience who want to do a led practice. If you don't know what this means, this video is not for you.
』 『This DVD contains the complete First Series of Ashtanga Yoga preceeded by a 30-minute introduction explaining the foundations of the practice. David's delivery of the basic principles is clear and down-to-earth. He opens this practice to a variety of levels by offering varying degrees of approach. After the introduction there is a fully guided First Series practice in the traditional flowing rhythm inherent to Ashtanga Yoga. The session ends with a guided deep relaxation.』

I have arthritis in my hips and this was a great warming and opening session for me. Although I was unable to do the entire DVD, I continue to work on my Breath of Fire. I especially love the spiritual aspect of all the DVDs from Ana and Ravi. The Mantras are very soothing and effective. I find Ana's demonstrations clear and love the narative from Ravi and the fact that he always points out the benefits of the movements.....this DVD inspired me to purchase more of their work....』
(Another hit) 『I watched this workout before attempting it, but it wasn't until I did the DVD that I felt, "hey, I can do this". It is a perfect complement to Beauty Body, and Dance the Chakras. Neither of them make me sore any longer, but I still get a bit of a challenge.
Of course the music, Ana's presence and direction, and Ravi's direction and verbal skills are golden. So is the production value. Golden.
I have all but one of their DVD's. Ravi and Ana are the same amazing teachers every time, though the production value gets better and better.
I am hooked.
』
(I love it!) 『This has some serious hip opening and some really cool music. It is a lot of fun, like all the Ana&Ravi dvds I have tried. I have been collecting them all because they have made me fall in love with yoga. I have so much more energy and stamina, I even think clearer and don't have so much fear. I could go on and on. This is an awesome DVD! First you open your hips, then you do some ab and upper body work that is simultaneously working on your moods. It is a total blast!』
(Another Great Ana&Ravi DVD) 『I'm so in love with this DVD! It starts with some warm-ups and then segues into a great hip-opening series. I had the original version and have since upgraded to the new matrix version, which lets you program your workout without having to deal with the remote midstream. I was pleased to discover that the matrix version has some added hip opening exercises. After the hip opening set there are two additional segments which include ab work as well as upper body exercises. There is also a meditation at the end of the program which can, quite frankly, change your life. Overall, this is one of the best investments you'll ever make.』
(Love it) 『This is my most recent Ravi and Ana purchase, and right now my favorite. Personally I really like the flow of this DVD. I have frequently heard in yoga that it's good to work on the throat area and the hip area together as a set. By working on one, you'll be helping the other. Ravi and Ana definitely address that here. This DVD leaves me feeling healthy, light, happy and energized! Another great one!』 『NOW FEATURING THE DESIGN YOUR OWN WORKOUT MATRIX MENU OPTION!!!This award-winning workout will trim your thighs, release your hips, and add new creative energy and flare to all that you do.

(Yoga for the Brain is a great workout!) 『Teaching students to write used to be so boring. I can remember my teachers in school saying, "Be creative!" but I was never really taught how to do that. I am now a teacher and am faced with the challenge of teaching students to be creative. Yoga for the Brain is a great addition to my writing program in that it gives the student something to base their creativity. For example one entry is "What has been a hard lesson for you to learn?" What a great idea to think about! This is not your typical sentence starter book.』
(Real life writing) 『I know this book was written for teachers, but as a newspaper columnist, I am often asked to conduct writing workshops for adults and teens who want to become writers. Not only do DiPrince and Thurston give hundreds of prompts for on-the-spot writing exercises, many of which help the writer practice and identify good writing techniques, but they also give 50 examples of how to get started writing in "the real world," which is what most adults in these workshops want. For years I'd done my own research and shared my own experiences concerning good places to start out writing, but this list tops anything I ever did on my own. Also, as a substitute teacher, I sometimes find I have dead time to fill and these prompts are fabulous both as fillers and as full lessons for those times teachers leave no plans. There's something in here to cover all bases and as the title implies, this book provides exercise all areas of the brain.』
