(if you like repetition, this CD's for you!) 『I found this CD irritatingly repetitive. I was very disappointed in it. (Sorry, Tenzin) I am a body therapist and listen to calming music while I do treatments on clients. This solo piano and solo guitar CD irritated and distracted me. If you want calming piano music I suggest instead, A Place Without Noise by Wayne Gratz. If you are looking for calming guitar music I suggest Guitar Meditations by Soulfood and Billy McLaughlin.』 『Tenzin's first commercial CD contains beautiful, calming songs performed on solo grand piano and solo acoustic guitar. The Grand Suite consists of five relaxing compositions that flow effortlessly one into the other. Melancholy is a delicate and moving piano piece. The solo guitar portion of this CD begins with Starlight Wind, a song that was composed on the plains of East Africa. Samadhi is a song of awakening, and Triptych carries the listener through a variety of emotions and soundscapes. This CD is perfectly suited for meditation, relaxation, massage or gentle movement; or as a soundtrack to a peaceful environment.』 fetish『 Sleep Aid With Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah - Yoga Nidra and Guided Meditation 』

Im amazed of how something so simple can make such a big difference to my sleep. Since I started doing it I find I fall asleep much faster, sleep much deeper, and I wake up rested in the morning.
Its a wonderufl way to switch off and be able to guide yourself into deep sleep. Its also good value for a 2 Cd set, specially for something that actually works. Do recommend and totally worth it!』
(Effective and easy to follow) 『This 2 CD set is really good. I was out like a light halfway one of the meditations. I am curious to learn more about self hypnosis. My favorite track is the second guided meditation and I like the background sound of the ocean waves. Very still.』
(Effective guided meditations) 『I love meditation and this CD is a wonderful addition to my collection. The voice of Dr. Shah is deep and pleasant and I definitely notices a deeper rest when meditating before going to bed. The yoga nidra relaxation is also very effective in centering the mind and relaxing the body.』 『This top-selling, 2 CD set from MUSIC FOR DEEP SLEEP integrates effective and powerful self-hypnosis and meditation techniques.
Using subtle, pleasant narration and a calming background of nature sounds, it takes the listener on a journey toward peace, rest and replenishment.
Dr. Siddharth Ashvin Shah's Sleep Aid Series combines proven elements of modern Western and traditional Eastern thought into a blend of self-hypnosis, meditation and Yoga Nidra - the ancient art of intentional relaxation.
This unique cross-pollination of the scientific and the spiritual will ease even the most restless and weary minds.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (You get what you paid for) 『I teach yoga so I am always looking for cds. I admit I purchased this cause it was inexpensive. I did listen to samples and liked the classical music. I thought this type of music would be general enough for the not-so-serious or new to yoga. The cd turned out to be a flop because the music does not flow one to another and the loudness changes from one song to another. Terrible for a class as I found myself wondering what happened to the music. I suppose this cd would be okay if you don't want to spend alot of money and just want some background music in your home but not for yoga practice.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Excellent for those with scoliosis; nice basic practice for others as well) 『Yoga for Scoliosis features Elise Browning Miller, a yoga instructor who discovered in her 20s that yoga was the only thing which helped to control her scoliosis. Her four background exercisers each have scoliosis as well, and Elise frequently refers to their differing curvatures throughout the practice. I don't have scoliosis myself, but I was interested in trying this video in hopes that it would provide nice stretches for my back.
The main part of the DVD is broken up into three sections. The first is a short introduction (4 minutes) with Elise followed by a brief overview (1 minute) of scoliosis by an orthopedic surgeon. The next section is the 50 minute yoga practice, and the final segment is the bonus materials, including longer interviews with both Elise and the surgeon (4.5 minutes each), and six bonus yoga postures (wall stretch, down dog, shoulder stretch, warrior 1 with wall, chair twist, and 3 part pull) which are performed with props.
The yoga practice itself is broken up into three segments, with Elise providing a short introduction at the start of each segment. The first, Breathing and Spinal Lengthening Poses (16 minutes), focuses on poses to stretch out the spine. It begins with yogic breathing and then moves on to standing side and wall stretches, cat pose, puppy pose, child, down dog, and lunge. The second, Centering and Strengthening Poses (18 minutes), consists mainly of standing postures, including mountain, triangle (performed with a chair), warrior 1&2, and wide-legged forward bend. From a face down position, there are also simple back extensions, cobra, and child's pose. The final segment, Restorative, Releasing, and Relaxing Poses (16 minutes), includes a supported back bend (over a ball or bolster), a side stretch, chair twist, reclined hand to foot pose, revolved stomach pose, and relaxation posture.
Although I don't have scoliosis, I found this to be a nice, relaxing basic yoga practice. However, given Elise's frequent reminders about spinal curvature, the video is most ideally suited to those with scoliosis or other back conditions.』
(Guidance for Good Health, yoga for scoliosis) 『I found the video carefully explained the exercises and really gave time for a novice exerciser to go through the motions to get a great and gentle work out. 2007 is the year of better health and this will help me achieve that goal. Thanks』
IPhone 3G used's review (good for body and soul) 『the videos are easy to follow, they helped my low back pain, gave me peace of mind to start my work day, didn't see any weight loss』
(one of the best) 『Simply one of the best complete yoga programs out there. It is tough and you will see results! If you can keep up and commit. Its is just a bit long, well over an hour. you will be totally workedOUT when you are done! Its great, the time limitation is the only reason I dont' use it as much as the others that I have.』
(Challenging Power Yoga Workout!) 『This is a challenging power yoga workout. Baron warms you up with a long standing forward bend. Then you jump right into a series of upward and downward facing dog poses which will quickly raise your heart rate and warm you right up. Later you move into some other challenging poses like the eagle pose, tree pose, camel, and crescent moon. Baron's cueing is very good. He walks you through the poses and always reminds you to only go as far as you can go. The only pose I could not do at all was the backward bend where you go all the way back and only have your hands and feet touching the floor. The workout ends with floorwork (but you still won't get a break until you reach the final relaxation pose). The cobra pose is included in this section to work your back, and a slow motion bicycle exercise works your obliques. This workout moves quickly. It requires a lot of balance, and you will feel your leg muscles working throughout the workout. Many of the poses incorporate lunges, squats, and balancing on one leg. I definitely think that this video will increase both your strength and your flexibility. This video was originally produced in 1998, and it does not have the highest production quality (the picture is not as crisp or clear as it could be). The only other minor detail that I did not like was the fact that everyone was wearing white, I prefer a little color or a more exciting background. Other than that I think this is a great workout for intermediate/advanced exercisers.』
(Kept falling Down) 『This is a good challenging workout, but a little fast-paced, and not always sufficienttly explained. The balancing series was a particular problem, and could have been slowed down to help explain the moves and improve your concentration. The students in the tape were also falling down. Not surprisingly from viewing his other tapes, he would use these episodes as an opportunity to touch them in areas generally considered a bit personal (which may be the reason that they all looked so tense).
And, (although I know reviewers aren't supposed to get personal) does his really need that silly get-up he's wearing on his head?
He could also drop the yogababble to make time for some practical information on beginner's modifications of the more difficult positions, so that people don't get hurt.』
(Very tough) 『First of all - thank you to the reviewer who wrote a review for Power yoga 3 - that's what made me finally buy this - once she didn't say it was blurred! To everyone out there who thinks these tapes are blurred and are bad quality - ie who read the same article I did on another site - yes, it's a Goodtime tape, but no, it's not blurred at all. The quality is just fine!
Now - workout. Phew. this must be his toughest, it'/s definitely his longest. At just under 70 minutes it's longer than soul of strength at about 53 mins and Power and PRecision at about 63 including breathing exercises. 46 minutes standing poses followed by 18 minutes floor poses. Intense. After the usual sunsalutation A and B opener - which seems to go for ever - he goes on to warriors, side angles and so on - and intersperes sun salutes in between. It never lets up. Definitely more intense than Soul of Strength - also has some different asanas - like sideways stretch, lots of standing backbends, a tiptoes pose I found quite challenging and so on.
In a way i understand the reviewer on another website who said she prefers his newer series - He is smoother, in a good way - his whole attitude is more relaxed, more philosophical perhaps - the music is MUCH better - and even though his new series is tough, the feel is more relaxed - overall (plus I love those lunge prayer twists which are not in this video). Although that sounds wierd, because it is a tough tape. However this is fabulous to alternate with - for days with more stamina - and is more challenging, and a satisfaction when you finish!』

Usually ships in 7 to 10 days IPhone 3G used's review (Love it!) 『This is my favorite workout in my third trimester. It keeps me feeling good. I attribute this workout and the others I do to the reason I am still so mobile and able to do things almost like I usually do. It completely loosens everything up. Say goodbye to backaches and all those other pregnancy aches. I really like the prenatal modification for sun salutations, it is much more effective than the versions on my other workouts. This is a little slow for first and second tri if you usually exercise. If you want a more challenging 1st and 2nd tri workout try Kira Landgolf's Total Body Tone or Erin O'Brian's Prenatal Fitness Fix. I learned the hard way to stick with prenatal workouts in pregnancy, regardless of how good you may feel. I tore a muscle from overdoing (tricked by the relaxin I guess) during a regular workout. It took over a month to heal. I haven't tried the postnatal workout yet, I'll add a review when I get to that point. This DVD was very worth it. Other good prenatal workouts include Shiva Rea's prenatal yoga and Crunch Yoga Mama. They are good quality, I used them during both of my pregnancies. If you are an experienced exerciser, they are really best for third tri. Try the ones I recommended above for the earlier days or just go for brisk walks (Leslie Sansone's walking workouts have been great too!) 』
(Not Great) 『I bought this in my 3rd trimester and only did it once. I am a big workout DVD fan but this just didn't do it for me. It was boring and I found it to be of poor quality and a little too "fruity" for my liking.』 『YOGA FIT PREGNANCY Pre- and Post-Natal Yoga Workouts Presented by Heather Seiniger: certified Yoga Instructor... and Mom.

The poses could be held for a little longer to deepen the stretch more, but overall I really like it. I have not done yoga before, but I am pretty athletic and have really gotten into it. Once you get the poses figured out, she does a great job walking you through them. I don't even need to watch the screen much anymore and I have only done it 4+ times.』
(I love this DVD!) 『This is a great DVD for both those who have experience with yoga and those who haven't done it before. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow and the instructor is especially pleasant and unpretentious. The series of moves is well organized and she gives you different variations you can do with several poses. Doing this series always leaves me feeling relaxed and has helped me deal with the stress of infertility. I recommend it most highly!』
(THE REAL DEAL) 『If I could rate this more than five stars, I would. I highly recommend this fertility yoga video - it worked for me! This yoga is great for anyone who is trying to get pregnant. I have practiced yoga for a while now and like how Monica chose traditional yoga poses from all the thousands of yoga poses that seem to help most with our reproductive and hormonal balance, as she says. Anyone can do this video and feel comfortable doing it. Her style is very natural - and, dare I say, healing! I also like how Monica explains the benefits of the poses for fertility. It is the real deal.』
(Great way to relax) 『Monica's DVD is a good way to relax and to focus on your breathing. The DVD is soothing even though you are exercising and focusing on releasing toxins. Adding this DVD to your routine also adds to the piece of mind that you are doing one more thing to be pro active in addressing issues of fertility.』
(A huge help with infertility) 『I stumbled across this video when I was searching for help with my secondary infertility struggles. This video has helped me with enduring fertility treatments and has opened my mind, body and spirit. I love to do it at home when my son is napping and I feel so relaxed. I already got pregnant right after doing this video, unfortunately it ended in miscarriage, however, I am hopeful that I will prevail again. I never was a yoga person before I started doing this now I love it. I also have a chronicle hip problem and these poses are wonderful to open up and stretch out my hip. A perfect companion to anyone who is experiencing infertility.』 『This Fertility Yoga program is a restorative and therapeutic yoga exercise practice for all levels. In this easy-to-follow 50 minute therapeutic yoga practice, Monica leads you through a series of yoga poses (asanas) which will tap into your potential for fertility wellness. Follow Monica along as she takes you through a series of poses that will give you renewed strength and confidence and will help you reach new levels of inner trust, calm, and focus.
Featured in this DVD, you have the option of learning about what Fertility Yoga is and hear what some women are saying about the Fertility Yoga program. Additionally, you have the option of either following the entire practice or choosing different series of poses for a customized practice.
Two levels of modifications are offered throughout the practice to suit your specific needs.
Fertility yoga integrates stretching movements with breathing. It is a therapeutic sequence of breath and movement specifically focused on the reproductive and hormonal system. Many of the poses will open up and revitalize the energy to a woman's reproductive area and hormonal system.
What we learn on the yoga mat can help us in all areas of our lives. While this practice can help you with your journey toward motherhood, it can also help you with the quality of your overall life. These days it takes a village to have a child so come join the spirited practice of fertility yoga and learn what hundreds of women already have about the therapeutic power of this inspiring fertility yoga program.』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Excellent DVD!) 『I used to have the Yoga Journal's Energy Balance videotape, which was fine. Only did not really like the speech about yoga at the end of the yoga workout. This DVD put his speech at the beginning now, which is better. Love Rodney Yee's yoga methods!』
(Too Soft) 『I didn't see any results, nor did I improve my practice with this DVD. The poses in the second section are fast pace and not easy to follow. The exercise is not aerobic at all. The locations are beautiful and I use some of the poses as stretches after running.』
(The best of Rodney) 『I had this particular Rodney Yee program for years on VHS, until it wore out. I was glad to find it on DVD. With over 30 years of practice, it remains my favorite routine. Divided into 5 short mini-routines geared toward different times of day, you can choose which ones fit your need. It is easy and fun enough for beginners, but challenging enough for more advanced practitioners who need a "pick-me-up" during the day.』
(A MORE ADVANCED LEVEL, A CHALLENGE, AND WONDERFUL!) 『I have been into Yoga for several years and am now going to the Intermediate level. This superb Rodney Yee DVD is for one who knows the Yoga positions as this is done with little dialog and one is expected to be very familiar with Yoga. Each session is at a different time of the day. The first 2 sessions are my favorites in the morning and take just about 15 minutes. The 3rd one the Creativity lasts right at 16 Minutes (the longest, most difficult and the very fastest section). The last 2 sessions called Reflection (11 minutes) and Surrender (4 minutes) are my PM favorites. These were done on the DVD at SUNSET and these last 2 sessions, just 15 minutes total are wonderful to do in the PM after dinner and I have found that I am so relaxed and sleep wonderful after I have done these! What I love so much about this DVD is the navigation is so easy and you can choose the section that you wish to work on. This, I give a SUPERB RATING and oh yes, 10 STARS! Bravo!』
(My favorite yoga video) 『This video is one the I use for my daily practice. It's so nice not to hear verbal instruction -- that might be necessary for beginners, or the first few times you use a DVD, but after the 50th time you hear the same old stuff you feel like telling Rodney to "Shut up!" In this DVD, all you hear is the name of the pose -- which would be a disadvantage to absolute beginners.
The first section "Awakening" is similar to the A.M. Yoga, or the "Back Care" section of the Healing tape in this same series. Nice, easy stretches.
The second section "Centering" is a nice flow series of standing poses. It really gives me some much-needed help with balance. You go through the series twice, first doing Tree to the right, then Triangle to the left, and so on through, Side Stretch, Warrior I and II, Half Moon, Warrior III, and Extended Leg Stretch. It's the shortest routine on the DVD, but quite possibly the best.
The third section, "Creativity" is the most difficult, and the one which seems to generate the most complaints. It *is* fast; I think it's intended to be aerobic. The worst part to me is that I simply can't make some of the transitions. It is physically impossible for me to jump from dog pose to standing forward bend, for example, or to go directly from downward dog to Triangle. Dog pose, or the plank-up dog-down dog sequence is used to transition between poses, and quite frankly, I usually just skip this and do the next pose. (Anyone who needs to use the blocks will not be able to keep up otherwise.) Things slow down towards the end, however. I keep trying with this practice, but I skip it more frequently than any of the others on the DVD, and it's the reason I can't give it five stars.
The fourth practice "Reflection" is virtually the opposite of the one before -- nice, slow seated forward bends. You spend quite a long time in each one, and it's very relaxing.
Finally, there's a short four-minute relaxation pose, the only practice where there's any narration. I usually mute it at this point; if you don't, you'll find yourself rudely awakened by Rodney explaining the whole concept behind the Energy practice.
Overall, it's a good everyday practice, and that's how I use it. I add some conscious breathing before I start, and meditation after it's over, and that's my usual yoga practice for the day.』 『Yoga Journal's approach to instructional yoga tapes is always innovative, but their hour-longYoga Practice for Energyis truly different. Filmed at the beach on Maui, the sessions Awakening, Centering, Creativity, Reflection, and Surrender offer movements that follow the cycle of the sun through the course of a day. Viewers are encouraged to first try the entire tape several times, and then use the sessions that correspond to their needs at any particular time. For example, if you've just trudged in the door from a hectic day, you may want to use the Reflection session, in which "a cooling, tranquil series of forward bends and hip openers let all activities of the day seep in like watercolors setting into paper." There is almost no narrative accompanying the five practice sessions, and if you are a beginner you may feel lost at first viewing. Have no fear: there is a wonderful appendix of poses at the end of the tape to which you can refer for tips on technique and variations.--Jhana Bach』 『Discover a new and exciting way to experience yoga that brings your energy levels back into balance.

IPhone 3G used's review (Manduka Travel Mat) 『I have been a yoga student for 8 years and over time have used several different mats; nike, lululemon etc.. A month ago my yoga teacher suggested I buy a manduka travel-light mat for a firmer support under my feet; ILOVE IT! It is light and easy to carry and most importantly my balance has improved. It is firm but very comfortable! You will not be disappointed.』
(Unfortunatelly this mat is very slippery) 『This mat is very slippery for vinyasa yoga. I bought it to replace my old mat that I have for over 5 years, a regular inexpensive mat that I couldn' t find any more in the market. I have washed the manduka mat more than 20 times and I have tried all possible different detergents. It is still slippery.』
(BEST MAT EVER!) 『This mat is excellent. At first it was a little slippery, but if you read the instructions and wash it and leave it in the sun, it comes alive. Recommend it to anyone who is tired of leaving little mat pieces on the floor.』
(land fill blues) 『after a few months it started to disintegrate. Now I have to put it in the land fill.』
(Great mat) 『I was torn between this lighter version and the heavier version. I am very pleased with my final choice of the lighter Manduka mat. It is wide enough and thick enough in comparison to your average mat without being too heavy to tote to the gym. It was delivered extremely fast so fast that I checked to make sure I didn't order expedited delivery! Yes, it was VERY stinky and a little slick. I tried washing it in the house but it wasn't helping with the smell. My solution was to leave it outside for about 2 weeks on my porch table. Our winters are mild so it wasn't getting too cold or getting too much sun. I would flip it periodically and wipe it down. We had a few rainy nights that was just perfect to get rid of the residue. After 2 weeks, the smell was gone. I tried once to use it sooner and it was an hour of torture - way too stinky to use. I prefer to use the bottom side of the mat - it has a better grip with the little circles on my hands. I haven't had any problems slipping until just recently when I had an instructor who insisted the room temperature be at about 100!!! I was sweating enough to slip for the first time ever. I had a thin hand towel with me that I placed on the mat under my hands. It was the perfect solution and no more slipping!』 『This awesome eco-responsible yoga mat is Manduka's alternative offering to their ultra-heavy 7-pound-BlackMatPRO. The 4-pound PROlite has all of the great qualities of the BlackMatPRO (density, durability, firmness), but it is slightly thinner and narrower than the its heavyweight counterpart. Available in 5 colors: purple, olive, pacific, pinot, and apricot. 3/16" x 24" x 71" (3" longer than a standard yoga mat)』

Stamina
Usually ships in 3 to 5 days IPhone 3G used's review (great product) 『This is a great machine for a total body workout. I cannot believe how quiet it is and it runs very smoothly. It was quite easy to assemble and did not take too long. The only con I can think of is that they should have put more levels of resistance on it. I am a woman, 5'6'' and weigh about 135 lbs. I can row on the highest resistance, so I think men with more body strength could use more resistance. It was a little pricey, but it is definetly a quality machine compared to some I have tried. Very sturdy and folds up easily. I would recommend it.』
(Stamina 15-9003) 『Excellent exercise product. Works completely as advertised. No shortcomings and no misgivings on my part. Arrived in perfect condition and has been in use daily by two people.』
(Really like this piece of equipment) 『We are glad we chose this machine. It is great to have both options of a rower&a bike. My husband had no problems with assembly. Best of all, we received it much faster than expected. Love amazon.com!』
(Excellent Recumbent/Rower!) 『I bought this because it was both a recumbent bike and a rower. I am very happy with this product because the quality is the best I have had with any fitness equipment I own. It is so quiet and sturdy and easy to use. I can go from bike to rower in seconds, making it easy to rotate every couple of miles if desired. The extra bonus is that you can use it for strength training by just pulling the resistant bar while standing. And a few other options are shown in the book that comes with it. I would recommend this product for the quality and ease of use. Easy to fold up if needed.』
(Coincidence or poorly manufactured equipment?) 『I ordered the Stamina Deluxe Conversion II, knowing that it would be an excellent addition to my home gym. After assembling it, I saw that the tension knob and the spring pin knob were cracked, making it impossible to use w/o taping it together (which I did, just to see how the unit worked). I liked the unit, but it was ridiculous to pay that much for something in order to "tape it together" so I contacted Stamina and they would not return my calls or e-mails. Amazon (from whom I had purchased it) graciously replaced it with a new one. When the new one arrived, I examined it thoroughly before the delivery person left. After assembling it, I started to work out and there was such a loud squeaking noise, it was impossible to use. I persevered, thinking that there was something that "needed to be worked out" but it got worse. Once again, Stamina would not return e-mails or voicemails, so Amazon (thank goodness I had bought it from them) allowed me to return it (their policy is to not provide a third replacement). So, this leads me to believe that Stamina would not accept calls (only voicemail) and would not reply to my e-mails because they know that they are manufacturing an inferior product.』 『Rowing and cycling are widely considered two of the best all-around activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength, and now you can enjoy both workouts in a single device with the deluxe Conversion II recumbent bike/rower. Rowing is an efficient total body workout that uses all the major muscle groups, including the legs, arms, shoulders, abdominals, and buttocks. It's also one of the best exercises for building a strong back, as well as one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for people who want to increase their metabolisms and burn more calories without hurting their joints. Stationary cycling, meanwhile, is also a terrific low-impact cardiovascular exercise, with a routine that focuses on all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks.
The Conversion II looks like a standard rower, with a molded, adjustable foam-padded seat and seat back, rotating rowing pedals, and an extruded aluminum rowing beam. However, the seat also doubles as a recumbent bike seat that supports your lower back while you ride, with foot straps holding your feet securely in place as you pedal. And that's not all, as the Conversion II also offers options for working your upper body--including such exercises as bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and forearm curls--along with a resistance cord that attaches under the seat for light leg presses.
Other details include eight levels of smooth, quiet magnetic resistance; a multifunction electronic monitor with a large LCD display that tracks speed, distance, time, calories burned, and pulse; sturdy steel construction; a hand-pulse sensor built into the grips to measure heartbeats per minute; a weight capacity of 250 pounds; wheels for easy transport; and a folding frame for quick, effortless storage. The Conversion II measures 74.5 by 25.5 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 105 pounds.
