This audio is inspirational and motivating, just an overall delight to listen to. Of the many meditation guides I've tried this CD is one of the best.』
(When you need to wind down...) 『This is certainly a fantastic CD of soundscapes to relax and wind down to. I'm not one to do alot of yoga and exercise technique (though I really should) however I can see where the CD would really serve beautifully in that context. I have the other CD as well which is also a soothing break from the norm. Highly recommended !!!!!』
(Peace of mind) 『"Tranquility", what a lovely CD! One will find the relaxation, peace of mind in this wonderful music. Highly recommended to anyone who needs to release their stresses, their tirednesses. This would be a wonderful gift for yourself, your friends, and your love ones.Tranquility - Enchanting Music for Yoga Nidra Meditation, Hatha Yoga, Breath Work, Pilates, Tai Chi or just relaxing』
(Relaxation) 『After a long working day and stressful working environment, everyone of us would need something to ease our minds and get ready for another busy day, "Tranquility" will help us. It gives you a very peace of mind and relaxation. I love it and I've been listening to it every night. As soon as the music plays, all my troubles of the day start fading. I bought one for myself and couples as a gift for my friends and relatives. This is the best work of art that I've ever owned. I am very highly recommended for anyone.

(Tranquility is Serenity) 『What a great way to unwind. This is now my favorite relaxation music and with one listen, you'll know why. Follow the sounds and you'll feel transported away from the stress of everyday worries. "Tranquility" guides you down the path to serenity. Highly recommended for anyone searching for more peaceful moments in their day!』 『Tranquility - Enchanting Music for Yoga Nidra Meditation, Hatha Yoga, Breath Work, Pilates, Tai Chi or just relaxing. Enjoy Tranquility, the orchestral ambient CD that has been used to relieve stress, to promote quality sleep or as a backdrop during yoga or meditation. You will be transported to a beautiful relaxing space by way of a rich and emotional aural tapestry. Over an hour of the most soothing yet inspiring music. All pieces were written and performed by keyboard artist Cleveland Wehle, a Virginia-based musician specializing in slow, natural and atmospheric ambient music. His music is calm and serene, reflecting his love and appreciation for the music of Samuel Barber, Ralph Vaughn Williams, Erik Satie, Vangelis, and Gabriel Faure. 'One thing these composers have in common', says Cleveland, 'is that their music conveys a deeply personal, a reflective and contemplative affect upon the listener'. Cleveland's music is composed and recorded using both hardware synthesizers/samplers, as well as software based 'virtual' instruments.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (One of my favorites) 『Another great yoga CD from Shiva Rea -- one of my favorites. The instructions are clear and the breathing flows nicely, though it's probably not recommended for people who are brand new to yoga, where visual cues would be helpful. The yoga nidra and pranayama sections are superb. I have almost all of Shiva Rea's yoga CDs and would definitely recommend them all.』
(a beautiful discovery) 『I have been a yoga practitioner my entire life (a long time) and this is a lovely addition to my regular class schedule. It allows me to do a guided practice in a hotel room or rooms of my house without a tv screen. The music provides a soothing, spiritual background.』
(Open Your Heart) 『It is unfortunate that I have only done this workout twice before I injured my rotator cuff (not due to the workout)! I was a little apprehensive about useing a cd but now that I have I find it a wonderful experience. I am able to go a little deeper "within" than I do with a dvd. This is probably because I don't have any attention directed toward a screen! I found the practice to be solid and the OM and kirtan chanting awesome. Not for beginners of course. My shoulder is just about healed and I will be so happy to regularly practice with Shiva again.』
(Great guided work-out) 『Shiva Rhea successfully delivers again with this voice-guided yoga work-out. Intense enough to work up a sweat, but also flexible enough to accomodate both intermediate and advanced practicers. I also enjoyed the background music that is played throughout. You will definitely need to be familiar with yoga postures and their names in order to benefit from this CD. It's best to start off doing yoga with a live instructor anyway. If you are intermediate to advanced, this is a nice rounded out practice that you can do at home. I highly recommend it.』
(Balanced Sequence for the Experienced Practitioner) 『Don't be put off by the title - foremost this CD set offers a well-rounded flow of asanas that are complemented by the chanting at the end of the second CD. Jai Uttal's music is ideal accompaniment. Rea has, as usual, designed the tracks to be accessible for different needs - length of time, type of practice, time of day, etc. I especially apprecite the gems of poetry (Hafiz) and thought (Upanishads) she has interspersed with her instruction. Altogether a worthwhile purchase!』 『The journey of all yogas, in every tradition, leads us to a single destination: an open and loving heart connected to the Source. On Yoga Chant, instructor Shiva Rea and acclaimed world music artist Jai Uttal guide yoga lovers into a transformative "inner yoga" practice of the heart to experience: Chant (kirtan) Indias ecstatic sacred sound tradition for opening ourselves to love and devotion, Postures and Movements (asanas) in a flowing sequence to expand the chest and rib cage, and release the physical and emotional "armoring" of daily stress, and Meditation and Breathwork (pranayama) specific meditations and breathing cycles to nourish the heart center with prana (vital life energy).』
IPhone 3G used's review (Who'd have thought Buns of Steel would get Yoga right?!) 『I bought this new in 1994 when it came out and have used it over the years. I also have tried neumerous others after this one got "panned" as Buns of Steel's attempt at yoga. But Margurite Baca is amazing. This routine is tough for beginners but is worth all the effort. And in no time will you find yourself trying variation's 2 and 3. I love this tape and it burns me that they refuse to turn it to dvd. It's really good. I've used it for years and never get bored with it.』
(Best Yoga tape I've used) 『A friend gave me a stack of yoga tapes for beginners. The first few seemed more like yoga-robics they went so fast. I couldn't keep up. I'd be trying to learn the move and they'd be on to another. I had no time to appreciate any pose at all, either, to get the maximum benefit from it. Then I came to Buns of Steel Mind/Body. Big sigh of relief. Marguerite Baca goes at a gentle pace I can follow AND she tells me how to breathe through each one. I get a full workout, body and mind, when I do yoga to her tape. I feel better, my poise and posture are better. Depression is going away, too. I tossed out all the inferior yoga-robics tapes and now use only this one. Marguerite Baca is an excellent instructor and I recommend her highly to anyone who wants to learn yoga. In fact, I'm here for another copy because I lent mine to a friend and really miss it!』
(Yoga and so much more) 『I have been using this same video for years now and finally had to buy a new one after giving up on ever seeing it turned into a DVD. Although I have a variety of yoga workout tapes, this is the one I most enjoy and use most consistently and frequently. It is easy for the beginner to pick up yet doesn't become boring for the more experienced user. But what I like best is that feeling of serenity and peace at the end of the workout - the instructor does an excellent job of integrating this benefit of yoga seamlessly and effortlessly throughout the entire workout.』
(5 stars from me, too) 『I don't have much to add that hasn't been said by other reviewers, but wanted to put in my 5 stars' worth. :-) I love this video and hope it comes out in DVD someday. Marguerite is a very talented instructor who is very warm, kind, compassionate (I've taken many classes from her in person); these qualities come out in her video.』
(Relaxing - yet still challenging) 『So what if it is called buns of steel yoga - it is a good video - seriously. The instructor is clear with her intructions and provides modifications when necessary. She also provides adequate rest in between each pose which you do not often find on yoga videos. This video is a bit slow-paced, however it is not boring and I found the poses to be both challenging and relaxing. If you are a beginner or intermediate yoga practicer I would recommend the tape.』 『Buns of Steeland yoga--now, there are two concepts not often seen in the same sentence. Fortunately, however, nightmare visions of some kind of Stone Cold Swami Schwarzenegger prove unfounded. Instructor Marguerite Baca is no yogi-come-lately. She clearly knows her stuff, which in this instance consists of a well-rounded, logically sequenced practice intended for intermediate users (with a few significantly more advanced postures as well). Included in the roughly 40-minute series are the "classical" sun salute (repeated several times), a flowing succession of standing poses such as Warrior 1 and 2, challenging backbends such as the bridge and the bow, a spinal twist, the butterfly (a hip opener), and the seated forward bend. Baca holds the poses long enough for them to be experienced fairly deeply (an essential aspect of any meaningful yoga practice), often following the more difficultasanaswith periods of rest and appropriate counterposes--in short, the earmarks of a trained, experienced teacher. Whether your buns are made of steel or marshmallow, this tape is a pleasant surprise.--Kelly Welldon』

Wai Lana Productions
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (It's okay.) 『I got this tape for $1 at my local dollar store, and I'm glad I didn't pay more. I would say it's not worth much more than five.
The good points are that it's colorful, and the animation and songs are pretty decent. But the instructor often spends way too much time talking about the poses, rather than just getting into them. It's too long for kids to wait. Also, I find the instructor's voice very.....odd. I know it's supposed to be 'soothing', but I find it weird. It's rather deep. It sounds to me like a man's voice trying to be a woman's voice. (If you've ever seen Transamerica, you'll know what I mean.)
I don't think my kids will use this as it's intended, as it's pretty slow. I know yoga isn't about speed, but kids aren't generally about meditation and excessive patience. If it went more directly into getting the kids into the poses, it would be better, in my opinion.』
(Good for young kids, wish it was a bit longer.) 『This is a nice starting yoga DVD for young kids. I just wish it was a little bit longer. There's also one young little girl in the back in red who doesn't always do the pose they are working on and I find her distracting -- she's not the one I want my toddler copying.
The poses are:
Balloon Breathing Butterfly Cat and Dog Stretch Rocking Beetle Cobra Lion Mountain Tree Bridge Jelly Legs Daydream Pose
My toddler does enjoy the cartoon of the poses followed by the kids doing it. It's very similar to "Yoga Kids: ABC's" by Marsha Wenig. If you like "Little Yogi's" then "Yoga Kid's: ABC's" would be the next stop since it is also a little cartoon followed by the pose but since it goes throughout the alphabet, it is longer.』
(THank you WAI LANA!) 『My Aunt gave this to me and my little sisters and brothers a few months ago. We all love doing this and it is very much fun. It is very colorful and nice. The music is also nice. The memry cards of this tape are also really nice to play with!』
(a great kid yoga video) 『Little Yogis is a charming and fun yoga video. Some friends got it for their three kids, and all the kids have fun doing yoga with it. The 5 year old boy loves it so much he gets his own mat out to do it by himself. The beautiful scenery, happy music, and smiling Wai Lana make this kid yoga video exceptional. I've seen a couple of other kiddie yoga videos, and this is so much better I highly recommend it. I'm going to get it for my grandchildren.』
(My daughter loves Wai Lana!!!) 『My 6 year old daughter had no interest in any of the yoga videos I purchased for her in the past, that was until Wai Lana's Little Yogis. This video is full of magic with Wai Lana's lovely personality, fun songs and cartoons, It is unlike any other children's yoga video I've seen before. Now she loves doing yoga as long as she can do it with Wai Lana!!!』 『Wai Lana introduces the whole family to yoga with her brand new, fun-filled Little Yogis video. With this playful workout, children pretend to be cobras, bears, butterflies, and bridges as they stretch and strengthen their bodies, sharpen their minds, and improve their balance and coordination. 60 minutes of pure fun, Wai Lana's Little Yogis is a playful way to get children into healthy habits that will benefit them for their entire lives.』

IPhone 3G used's review (Slo-Mo is my friend!) 『I use a slo-mo for Pilates but bought one for myself because my back became quite if-fy and my Pilates teacher showed me how to lie on it and move my lower back/upper pelvis clockwise, slowly, breathing with pilate breaths to help. It did. I now find many uses for Slo-Mo. It sits behind my back making me sit up properly while watching a DVD or even sitting out in the sun. I hug it to me for comfort as I sleep. Oh, yes, I do love my Slo-Mo! Don't fill it all the way to make it work well. Use it between your knees in table-top to do twists in yoga or for a pilates bridge. I'm sure there are a zillion more things to do with it.』
(Rehabilitation ball) 『I got this ball for rehabilitation of my neck after being diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. It is a bit on the small side, and I feel I cannot fill it enough with air. I think part of that problem is that I am not supposed to fill the ball completely, thus when the airplug is plugged, some air escapes, and it feels a bit underfilled. I like the straw, but it's a little fiddley.
The ball does its job, though, helping my neck getting stronger.』
(Very functional exercise tool) 『This is a good little ball for the price, you really can't beat it. It is a softer more pliable material then the big balls, almost a little tacky so it sticks in place well. This simple little ball placed at the lower back makes for a very isolated crunch saving the lower back yet working the abs even harder. Also great just to use between your knees pressing in and out while watching TV for a more passive workout. Great little workout tool that I highly recommend!』
(Great for Abs!) 『We have these balls at our gym and I LOVE them! I was thrilled to be able to order one and for cheap! It came quickly also. Great product!』 『The SLOMO ball is perfect for so many exercises! Sqeeze it between your legs for an awesome inner thigh burn! Use it in your situps for perfect form and extra resistance!
This fitness ball, unlike others, does NOT need the additional purchase of a mini-pump. The SLOMO ball comes with a straw for easy and convenient inflating. This ball would be perfect for travel!Use slightly deflated as a soft prop under your head, neck, feet, back etc. .』
IPhone 3G used's review (Sticky enough but cracks easily) 『I've actually been quite happy with the PVC-laden mats we've all used for years, but wanted to see what the ECO mat was like. It's sticky enough, I like the thinness, but it cracks a bit when you roll it up. Doesn't seem like it's going to last as long as the old standard sticky mats.』
(Good Mat for Tall People) 『First of all, this is a great mat for people who want more to work with. At 6'3", the extra length is very handy for me.
The feel of the mat took a bit getting used to, after working on a standard Tapas mat for the last ten years. On a wood floor, it seems to have a bit of "stretch" to it for some reason. No big deal, but different than other mats I've practiced on. If you're going deep in a pose, Downward Dog for example, you may notice this.
Like that it's eco-friendly. That was a plus for me, as the standard mats can't be recycled.
Overall, a great mat. I'd get another one, if needed.』
(Lovely...but not the strongest mat) 『As I've deepened my asana practice, I've needed a thicker mat that was LONG enough for my stature (I'm 5'10" which means i'm often longer than the mat i would lie one - 68"
For thickness? this mat is quite good, i still use extra padding for strong bow poses, but for every thing, it's more than adequate
The colour is lovely and I like the idea that its whole construction is in keeping with efforts to protect the environment. And i LOVE, LOVE , LOVE a mat that is longer than my body. It's nice to have both my head and heels on the mat at the same time.
Good traction - and I don't know if the manufacturers intended this - you can actually use BOTH sides of the mat
That said, my singular gripe is that a few classes into it, the dark purple side (i have the Violet 5mm mat) started to shred a bit. Maybe it's that i grip the mat with my toes a bit in vinyasa flows (not great form on my part) - i just didn't expect to see little bits of mat to come off so soon. It could be stronger. For this reason, i'm between granting 3 and 4 stars, but the mat's length makes me so happy, i give 4
If your practice is very vigorous, be vigilant of this (again, it could just be me)
Otherwise, the mat is wonderful』 『Following a tradition of yoga's philosophy with respect to life on the planet Earth, Hugger Mugger has created the first environmentally safe yoga mat. It is made from TPE (Thermal Plastic Elastomer) foam containing no latex, PVC or rubber, and has no toxic materials used in production. Provides same natural traction as other Hugger Mugger mats.

IPhone 3G used's review (Great Shrug!) 『This is one of the best shrugs I have purchased. Its very light weight. I love how tight it is too the body. Great product. I will probably buy more in other colors.』
(Adult Shrug) 『This is really neat. I had been looking for something to wear with my nice halter tops where you could still see the halter and this is just too perfect! It's especially great for those colder days when you want to look cute but have something to cover you up with. The only downfall I can think of is that it can easily rip if it gets caught on something. They're made from basically the same things as tights, so you get the picture. Overall, great product though.』
(Cute, comfortable shrug, wash carefully) 『I wanted a shrug that was made of a thin material and would be good for layering. This shrug is extremely stretchy and versatile, and is made of a similar material as tights are made of.
I'm short and have short arms, but I think this shrug would work for taller people too, because I could easily have the sleeve cover half my hand without stretching if I wanted it to.
I just got it today, tried it with some shirts, and it was perfect. But I always have bad luck with tights. I washed it carelessly, I admit (with a towel that has a velcro closure). The velcro and the shrug found each other and the shrug is all snagged up. I guess if many a pair of snagged pantyhose didn't teach me, I learned my laundry lesson now!
I really love the shrug though, and it's a great price so I'll probably be buying a few more and being more careful this time!』 『Soft, stretchy knit allows colors to come through or can be multi-layered for more opacity and styling options』
IPhone 3G used's review (The best sweat pants EVER) 『These pants are comfortable, sexy, well-made, and super-cheap. They don't fade, and the elastic waistband does not give out (I have worn and washed them every day for months). An added bonus: They're USA-made.』
(Should order a size bigger .) 『They are very confortable,soft&strong. But you should order a size bigger. I belive they just run small. I love em .』
(fantastic karate pants!) 『i love these pants! they fit me great and with you strecth when you move. which id perfect for what i need them for.』
(Comfortable for lounging...) 『These cotton sweat pants, though very comfortable, are extremely thin. I had intended on using them to work out in, they are however better suited for lounging around the living room, than for use at a gym. The term Karate Pant is somewhat misleading as these are NOT martial arts caliber pants. They would be more accurately labled as a Karate "Style" Pant, as they would never endure the rigors of any serious martial arts training.』
(Love them!) 『I was looking for gym pants I can wear all day when I'm not at work, these are great pants, , not too heavy , its really hot were I live given the weather these are very comfortable to wear, washed them a few times, got positive comments at the gym too. Only reason I did not give these five stars is because there are more fashionable brands out there that are "cooler" looking such as Body Action for example, but if you are looking for plain nice looking comfortable gym pants these are a great buy.
