It is healing, soothing, perfect for massage, Reiki and other purposes. Lloyd Barde from Backroads says: "The Music of RESONANCE takes on visual qualities and otherworldly realms with a grace and ease that is easy to be with, and can be revisited often." My personal experience is listening to RESONANCE gives me a feeling of peace and tranquility and the state of being One with the Universe.』
(Expected great massage type relaxation music) 『I wouldn't recommend purchasing this unless you listen to all tracks first. I was not pleased with the depth or complexity of the music. Being a Reiki Master and Pranic Healer and Polarity Therapist, I've purchased quite a few albums over the years. This is on my, "sell on ebay" list. It doesn't quite transform or take one on a journey or inspire the imagination. I found Halpern, Master Charles, and some of the others much better and more appropriate for my needs. I am definately disappointed.』
(mediated state) 『This is my favorite ambient/synth album to massage with. If you are a massage therapist then you know that music can affect your client. Resonance will relax and put your clients in mediated state. This album will do that every time! Doucet and Miraz really complement each of very well. At times I can't even tell who is playing. It's like both of their playing just melts together as one. If you like ambient music then you must buy Resonance.』
(Maximum Lush!) 『Resonance now takes the place of Brian Eno and Harold Budd's "The Pearl" as my favorite ambient/synth album. Doucet and Miraz' playing complement each other beautifully. As anyone who has ever recorded synthesizer knows, the key to success is two-fold: First, the sounds themselves must be top-notch. There are a lot of cheezy synth patches in the world, and happily, none of them find their way onto this album. Secondly, since synthesizers are potentially cold and mechanical sounding, the PLAYING has to be expressive and sensitive. Again, Doucet and Miraz do not disappoint. My favorite track is the opening "Dancing Shadows" which features a haunting melody played on what I believe is a vintage Moog synthesizer, or a darn-good imitation thereof.
As for the mood, I would say that in a word, Resonance is REASSURING. Although it definitely has all the best features of space music, for me, there is just enough melodic/harmonic content to keep me in my body, and ultimately, after a few tracks, I end up feeling like all is well after all. This one is staying in my rotation for a long time to come.
I suggest you buy it. Listen to Resonance in the morning, and add a little bliss to your whole day.』

Thank you Yoga Harmony !!!
Dalila』
(Yoga Harmony) 『As an artist and novelist (Miner Injustice the Ragman's War), I find that the melodic harmonies enhanced by chants and bells provide just the right backdrop for the creative juices. "Yoga Harmony" is ideal for Qi Gong practice, in addition to yoga and meditation. The songs are peaceful yet stimulate the imagination, superb stress relief for these hectic times.』
(Not Just for Yoga) 『Terry Oldfield has produced music for TV and film and had a very large and impressive credit history to his name. Most notable are his soundtracks for the Emmy award nominated National Geographic specials.
This CD was created with the intention that the listener would find a deeper space for their practice of yoga. I am not a practitioner of yoga, but I did find this music to be worthy of meditation and of finding a deeper space in my own environment.
The CD features Mr. Oldfield playing many of his own instruments. He is a multi-talented musician and this CD highlights these to the fullest. From the various flutes (bamboo, panpipes and bansurito name a few) to various Indian instruments, to singing crystal bowls and chimes, Terry Oldfield incorporates light tones, passionate flute compositions and interesting backfills with a minimal amount of electronic keyboards.
The flavor is a mix of Eastern sounds and harmonies. It allows for personal interpretation, but leads the listener in a specific direction. There are eight tracks on this CD, ranging in time from about five and a half minutes to approximately eight and a half minutes, making almost a full hour of music.
The first track Earth and Sky opens with Tibetan bells, and is a very poignantly played alto flute piece. With just a subtle hint of keyboard fill, it is a slow, expression filled piece that is excellent for warm-ups in a regular yoga practice. However, this is also a fine piece for your meditative practice, and Mr. Oldfield points out on the jacket that this entire CD is also excellent for background to massage.
Aum also opens with Tibetan bells and the drone of the Indian tampura. This provides the backup for another soulful flute piece, very slow, very moving and very deep.
There is a change in the mood with Pilgrimage, with lighter bells and a higher pitched bamboo flute which progresses to a lower pitched alto flute and vocal chanting. Sitar, veena and tampura provide the backfill and highlight the pieces traditional folk music feeling. This is a much lighter piece, but still maintains the intended pace of the music, which is supposed to be slow and deliberate for the yoga practitioner, but again, lends itself to meditation as well.
Yoga Healing features Crystal singing bowls, played expertly by "Singing Wind" and it gives this piece a very different feel from the previous flute tracks. Bamboo flutes are the main focus, along wit the Irish low whistle, and there is the constant drone of the tampura. But it is the bowls that catch your attention here, with the other instruments providing the shadows for the bowls to contrast. This is a wonderful composition and blending of instrumentation.
The feeling of the crystal bowls is continued with The Wave which starts out featuring the crystal singing bowls. It starts slow, and then picks up the pace a bit with the beat becoming the focus, rather than the slow movement of the flute and crystal bowls dictating the mood. The sitar, the pan pipes and Irish low whistle play against the up beat, and this becomes a light and delightful piece. It ends as it began, with the crystal bowls being the conclusion.
Mountain Path returns to the flutes, slow and deliberate. A little over half way through there is the addition of Indian drums to set up a beat, but it never becomes intrusive or overpowering, and the addition of the drums and bells makes what could have been a heavy piece much lighter and airy.
The track Nothingness returns to the soulful flute, again with a minimal backfill of cymbals, bells and keyboard, focusing on the flute composition, expertly played and flawlessly executed.
The final track The Essence starts slow with crystal bowls and the panpipes and about a third of the way through picks up the pace and incorporates Indian drums, changes to alto flute, adds sitar, tampura, and finally vocals. While providing more of a beat, it does not intrude on the feeling the entire CD was looking to suggest.
While it was intended for yoga practice, this CD will fill the background of your home or office with gentle sounds, never grating against your mind and offering a stillpoint to your environment. It is masterfully executed and highlights the wonderful musical talents of Terry Oldfield.
I highly recommend this CD for not just the yoga practitioners but for anyone looking for a peaceful place to wander. maf』
(ten plus for zen) 『I found this to be a welcome addition to the relaxing music I listen to while practicing yoga. It has rich tranquil tones, and soothing rhythms. It was very easy to loose myself and become one with the breath. If you like chanting then this CD is not for you. It does feature some nice gong and chime sounds.』 『"While this hour long CD was composed and designed specifically for a Yoga class, its soothing rhythms and tranquilizing sounds would be suitable for other healing arts as well as for general relaxation. The beautiful resonating tones of the tambura, veena, flute and keyboard draw the listener into a deep state of quiet absorption. Tibetan bells, Indian cymbals and crystal singing bowls are sprinkled throughout the tracks and accentuate the Eastern vibe of this deeply calming CD. Terry's production of music for TV and film shows in his intricate compositions and the flowing nature of these tracks." --Reviewed by Timothy Burgin, Yoga Basics』

It is relaxing AND invigorating at the same time. This would make a great CD to listen to when you get sick of the negative pop stuff on the radio. It can also be a great listen for AFTER a yoga practice - as a reinforcing meditation. After all, yoga isn't about just the poses! Namaste』
(This is awful) 『As individual songs, some of them have merit. As a compilation, OM Yoga Mix makes no sense. It is embarrassing that a Yoga teacher so poorly structured this album and that she missed the mark by such distance that it becomes unlistenable in any environment ...."Professional musicians"apparently review their own work to make it appear valid when infact it is not. Be weary of complimentary reviews that appear too good to be true!』
(Some tracks ok, but misleading, not a very good yoga CD) 『Some tracks were flat out distracting for a yoga practice,there was no sense of flow or theme. Certainly not a yoga CD for a serious practitioner or yoga instructor. Very disappointed considering the previous reviews that I based by purchase on.』
(Music is Good but sound Quality terrible) 『Love the Music, but the sound quality kinda kills it. It's still a good cd just not worth the price, plus when I am trying to relax and a bunch of distortion comes out of my speakers, it tends to disturb me out of my state of mind』
(OM Yoga) 『As a musician, I highly recommend this groundbreaking, world fusion mix!』 『There are dozens of yoga CDs on the market, but the body benders at Dharma Moon Records might have a better line on it than most. Founder David Nichtern, who also wrote Maria Muldaur's hit "Midnight at the Oasis," is a Dean of Buddhist Studies, while his wife, Cyndi Lee, is an author and Director of New York City's Om Yoga Center. Lee sequencedOm Yoga Mixwith previously released materiel from Dharma Moon Records as well as several new tracks. Mirroring the flow of a yoga session,Om Yoga Mixmoves seamlessly from the floating spaces of Michael Hewett's e-bow guitar soliloquy on "Nagual" to more uptempo themes like Nichtern's "In Praise of...," featuring kirtan-style chanting. Nichtern's global fusion group Drala is represented by the energized new track "Moment to Moment" and the slo-mo trance of "Opening the Gates" from their debut CD. An English vocal track with singer Falguni, reveals Nichtern's melodic pop sensibilities filtered through Indian raga. While English vocals are rare in the yoga world, it works onOm Yoga Mix, which takes you on a journey whether you're in a yoga session or listening session. --John Diliberto』

Usually ships in 1 to 2 days IPhone 3G used's review (A favorite) 『I received this workout with the Sara Ivanhoe's target zone 2 DVD set.
I was a bit sceptical thinking it would be more of pilates type workout but it wasn't. It is Yoga. The thing I liked was that I could feel myself using different muscles I don't normally use in Yoga, and it seemed like I was able to get an even deeper stretch on the stretching poses because of the support of the ball.
I've been doing Yoga several years, but don't do any of the really advanced moves. I typically don't feel like I get much out of a workout with the "beginner" labeled Yoga DVD's, but by adding the dimension of the ball it was definately a new challenge. For example, when doing a tree pose, instead of just standing, you bring the ball over your head and then do a side bend, while balancing on the one leg.
I recommend giving this a try, but it you'd like a bargain, look for the Sara's Target Zone DVD. It's about the same price and you get 5 extra 20 minute workouts :-)』
(Good for kids) 『This is my eight year olds favorite workout. It's a great for beginners because you use the ball to help you balance in most of the poses. I haven't tried it with her yet, but it does look like a lot of fun.』
(My fav way to do yoga!) 『The only type of yoga that I enjoy is when it is done on the ball. I wish there were more "yoga on the ball" workouts available. Also, I love how Sara's tone is very calming and she does not bring up the mystical side of yoga, in comparison to the Ana and Ravi DVDs, which to me is a bonus because I'd rather just focus on my movements.』
(Great introduction video) 『Sara Ivanhoe is a great host, and the video was easy to follow great for beginners. This was my first experience with yoga, and I was impressed. Sara gives you step by step instructions along with tips and suggestions. The music and digital quality of the video was also excellent.』
(Ease into Yoga) 『If you can do all the basic yoga poses with ease, this dvd is not for you. If, however, you are like me and find many of them a bit challenging, this is a great, relaxing, stretching, fun and easy intro to yoga.
The cueing is pretty good, there is only one part where the camera is angled so you can't see what her legs are doing behind the ball...then it switches views partway through the pose and you go "oh, okay!" After a few watches, I'm sure you will remember what that ONE pose is. Of course, after a number of watches of this tape, you may find yourself looking for something a little more challenging...but I can see coming back to this tape again and again as maybe something relaxing to do before you go to bed.
It does take up a bit of space to do this routine. Not so much at the beginning of the dvd, but towards the end I had to do a lot of shuffling around and repositioning myself so there was room for myself and the ball to do what we were supposed to do in my small living room. Still, it was worth it.』 『Transform your body and your mind with this innovative and highly effective approach to getting and staying in great shape. A fusion of the ultimate mind/body practice of yoga and ball work, this practice will give you the flexibility and strength that result from yoga and the core stabilizing and balancing qualities that result from working with the stability ball. For beginners as well as seasoned fitness practitioners, this program is designed to get and keep you working at the level that is appropriate for you. Instructor Sara Ivanhoe takes special care to provide modifications along with detailed instruction to make this program safe, fun and challenging for every body.

IPhone 3G used's review (Doug IS one of the BEST Ashtanga teachers!) 『I have been lucky enough to practice with Doug in person and he's an amazing teacher. I think this dvd is great.. .maybe not for the very, very beginner to Ashtanga, but all-n-all great dvd. TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION』
(fantastic dvd!) 『I love this DVD. After a long search, I finally found a video that covered all the bases and was a great workout as well as a soulful journey. I am addicted to it and feel great!』
(Yoga short forms) 『Great to use if you want to incorporate Yoga into your life as a daily practice. 15-30-45 miniutes, whatever time you have :)』
(one of my best teachers) 『Being Ashtanga Yoga a seriously hard tecnic as it is,I think the sweetness and patient voice and instructions of DAVID SWENSON make the practice much more pleasant and easy to follow. I just wish I could be as flexible as he is, but as he say "you have your entire life to practice yoga, don't be in a hurry,build your practice trough time and don't forget to breath" A great rutine from a very loving teacher. 』
(Good) 『I like this DVD a lot! I like the options of doing short to long yoga routines. The DVD is a good representation of Ashtanga Yoga. However, I feel it moves a little too quickly between poses. You hold each pose for 5 breaths by the time I get into a pose Doug Swenson is already on 3 breaths. I don't get to hold the poses long enough once I get into them. I'm not quite as flexible as Doug!』 『Based on the Ashtanga Yoga System. David has created the perfect way to fit yoga into a busy lifestyle. This DVD contains three specifically designed routines plus a full guided deep relaxation. 15 min - for people on the go. 30 min - for the beginner. 45 min - intermediate session. 10 min - deep relaxation.』

Jennifer does a great job leading the workout. She encourages beginners to continue with the excercises to work up to their abilities. And for the more experienced, the workout contains challenging pieces. It is a fun workout to do and I feel great afterwards.
Another bonus to this workout is that it is divided into 4 parts focusing on different areas. You can do the full 1 hour workout or break it into 2 30 minute workouts.』
(Good for Dancers) 『A lot of her stuff is repetative. 2nd, She takes at least 2 -3 minutes of the beginning of all 15 min with breathing and explanation. 3rd, the HIPS and THIGHS works outs are almost exaclty the same.And also the excercises in these 2 are almost ALL Ballet.A lot of ballet. This video is from 2001 too. I'd try something more up to date. I didnt feel the abs work out did much, i felt like i was doing an 80's jazzercise class. The only good thing is the ARMS routine.』
(My favorite excersize video ever!) 『I bought this DVD after my VHS wore out. It is a mixture of pilates, yoga and ballet. 15 minute sections that target different areas. Perfect. She is an amazing instructor! Going at just the right pace, she uses techniques that are challenging enough to actually do something for you and easy enough that everyone can participate. I have hip and back problems, and my mother has had multiple back surgeries and these excersizes are gentle enough for us both yet effective enough that after three weeks I had compliments from coworkers who inquired if I had been working out! I have never had a excersize program (or even gym memberships!) that did that. This has an EXCELLENT program for slimming hips and thighs that WORKS!! The ONLY excersizes I have ever done that has actually slimmed my hips, and I am a fairly athletic person (swimming, softball, volleyball, basketball, etc). I highly recommend this to everyone! The music is actually kinda nice too, not annoying at all- a plus for a excersize video anyway!』
(Awesome) 『I AM A BEGINNER. I started this workout 4 years ago and stopped for a long time and have started it up again. I love it. I don't feel tired after or even the next day like I would when I lift weights. I feel relaxed and refreshed. I also feel stronger. I plan on getting more workouts of Jennifer Kries. She is the best instructor.』
(A must have for every woman) 『I had this on VHS years ago and when I moved lost it. I was dying to get it back but it is almost impossible to find. This is the best thing for anyone who cannot do high impact for any reason. The DVD is broken up into 4 15 minute sections one each day will do the trick. The movement is gentle but effective and you will see the trimming and toning all women look for.』 『Running Time: 65 minutes.』
