IPhone 3G used's review (yogi hari open class) 『This DVD is fun and very inspiring!!!! It dosent matter if you are beginner or advanced. I have and recommend his other DVDs as well as books and beautiful music CDs. Sampoorna means fullness; and thats truely what Yogi Hari is and offers. In this dvd you really feel like your right there with him and his students as his melodic voice guides you through all the postures. Great for all levels. You'll enjoy this one.』
(One of a kind class. It is for all levels of Yoga practitioners.) 『I loved This class so much! it is the best class i ever took!

IPhone 3G used's review (Nada Yoga) 『Absolutely great music for the practic of kundalini yoga, or any other branch of yoga. Almost anything by Russill Paul is great accompaniment for the practice of kundalini and other yogas. Russill Paul's music is a goldmine of beauty and catharsis(Yes, I really mean catharsis). Really beautiful, wonderful stuff.』
(Fantastic album) 『This is a fantastic album and a must buy for all music lovers. This takes you on a journey of sound through the timeless tradition of yoga. This has an effect on anyone with a ear and a spine.
Kudos to the artist on reproducing the right sounds that have the appropriate effect on the listener. The series"Yoga of Sound"is a well compiled album and should be on the shelves of everyone who practices yoga.』
(NADA YOGA: Specially crafted Ragas facilitate sound currents) 『Nada Yoga is the science of sound, a powerful and sophisticated tradition that embraces both linguistic as well as non-linguistic sound. To experience an earlier form of sound yoga, check out SHABDA YOGA, the first of my YOGA OF SOUND series that will follow this album. I recorded Nada Yoga at beautiful Mesa Recording in Sebastopol and used the exact times of the evening to record the ragas on the album. Designed to facilitate inner movements from Twilight to Midnight, the track notes suggest mystical practices that you can use along with the music to get the max out of this project. I hope you enjoy this album. It is one of my favourites and has a real soothing quality to it.』
(Wow!) 『this is one of the best mediation cd's i've heard. it has great rhythms and chanting.』 『Performing on an instrument of his own design, a 10-string "unitar," one-time South Indian monk Russill Paul earnestly addresses the "sonic theology" of nada yoga in this 63-minute, three-stage collection of ragas--a work that's designed to invoke the healing power of sound. Paul sometimes adorns his deliberate, otherworldly passages with synthesizer and deep-voiced chants (along with flute and tabla, on occasion), but the unitar and its mystical tonal qualities serve as this disc's centerpiece. Serious-minded and intended for more advanced yoga practitioners,Nada Yogais a journey to a musical world that has almost no associations with contemporary musical customs of the West. The package includes a detailed booklet in which Paul describes the music's history, his modern-day perspective on it, and suggested meditations (including recommended times of day) for use in pursuit of a more focused listening experience.--Terry Wood』
IPhone 3G used's review (Awful) 『She talked way too much and would have done better with a script. Also, the movements were easy and didn't help me relax. I thought the facial exercises part was completely uncalled for.』
(Great for beginners) 『This is a good yoga tape for beginners. The poses Linda uses are simple for someone who does not have a lot of flexibiliy. I prefer to use this tape at night before going to bed. It will help you to gently work the tension out of your muscles, leaving you with a relaxed feeling. On the down side, she does talk quite a bit. Again, for the beginner who is learning, this is helpful. If you are not new to yoga, you may find it excessive. Overall, a good choice!』
(Nice Tape) 『This tape is indeed very relaxing. It works especially well right before bedtime. The routine is about 30 minutes long. She talks too much a few times, leaving the student just standing there and also doesn't cue you out of a pose (when you are turned away from the TV) a couple times. But, all in all, I am enjoying it.』
(The ultimate in promoting relaxation through stress release) 『This video is the ultimate in promoting relaxation through stress release. Linda Arkin provides clear yet soothing instruction for the those new to yoga. Plays down extreme goals and focuses on the moment. Before-bed stretches are excellent.』
『Experience the joy of yoga and the benefits of a daily practice with Yoga for Beginners. Join internationally acclaimed yoga teacher Patricia Walden as she presents a contemporary, easy-to-follow approach to the centuries old practice of hatha yoga. You'll learn a complete range of basic moves - called asanas - including standing, seated, inverted and relaxation poses. Providing a great introduction to this powerful and effective practice Yoga for Beginners is the program people throughout the world have chosen to begin their yoga practice.

Hmmm... maybe I should even say wardrobe change! She changes her outfits throughout the entire dvd... kind cool! Interesting to look at, however, that is not as important at the practice and instruction which is great! It's so nice to see someone do something different for a change! I'd also check out Tamara's Yoga Fusion for something different as well. Great for all levels.TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION』
(A Different Sort of Yoga Practice - But I Think I Like It!) 『There's nothing more I can add to the reviews aside from sharing my own experience and perspective.
What I Liked:
--- A unique approach to yoga! Wai Lana holds the postures for a while rather than racing / flowing from one posture to another. This form of yoga allowed me to focus on my breath and actually experience my body. I would characterize this type of workout more as sustained yogic stretching (with graceful transitioning between poses)rather than a flowing yoga practice. I enjoyed not having to look at the TV screen every 20 seconds to figure out which yogic pose I had to jump into.
--- No sun salutations. Thank God.
-- Wai Lana. Despite her costumes and unusual voice, she is a very likeable instructor. She gives sufficient instruction without being chatty. Her demeanor is gentle and happy.
-- The workout flew by. I looked at the TV in surprise when it ended, because I could have continued on! This workout has very little dread factor for me, unlike 95 percent of my other yoga workouts. (I prefer live classes.) Because of this is so enjoyable, I can see myself reaching for this workout more than the other yoga DVDs I own.
--- The yoga workout appeared to be deceptively easy. Yes, the poses were simple, and this is certainly not power yoga, but I still felt mildly challenged at a couple points. Best of all, this workout relieved a lot of the muscle tension I carried in my body for two days after a rigorous weight-training session. It surprised me that such an easygoing yoga workout could be so effective.
-- The production values, natural scenery and quiet music enhanced this DVD.
What I didn't Like (but can live with, happily):
-- Wai Lana's costumes. -- The sweet but (for me) ineffective meditation at the end of the workout. I'll skip it next time. -- Sometimes the film maker's "editing room flourishes" were unintentionally comical and amateurish (i.e., the floating mantra at the end).
Recommended!』
(Another great workout from Wai Lana) 『Wai Lana offers the very best of the Yoga DVD's. She's absolutely my favorite!
This workout has a faster pace than the Hello fitness series, but is still true to her Eastern roots. By the end you'll be groaning in pain (in a good way) while feeling utterly relaxed.
This is a great addition to the Hello Fitness series. If you are a follower of all things yoga, you will love this!』
(Wai Lana Yoga DVD) 『I enjoy the Toning Workout very much. It's visually stimulating and soothing. The workout is appropriate for me.』
(a superior blend) 『i can't agree more with the other reviews. Wai Lana provides very simple and easy to follow instructions for each posture at a calm pace that anyone can get the gist of. her grace makes the yogic postures (asanas) look easy when in reality it can be quite demanding, although never too strenuous... unless you're out of shape ;) it's an entirely rejuvinating workout whose effects will certainly show.
this video from her beginner's series does exactly as the title states; i can thoroughly feel its toning effects on all levels. physically it leaves me feeling alive and well&ever so flexible! mentally it leaves me sharp and ready to go, emotionally it is very clearing&calming, and spiritually it leaves me balanced and peaceful. Wai Lana does a superior job presenting and teaching Yoga; i very highly recommend her :)

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Flowing along) 『Slowly, in her own inimitable way, Micheline takes us through a complete yoga practice, suitable and enjoyable for all levels but especially good for beginners. Although she doesn't shy away from challenging poses, and no serious beginner should, she explains everything clearly and slowly, and yet is never boring. On the contrary, her seductively hypnotic voice and impeccable taste in music get us through full series of sophisticated sequences almost imperceptibly. You get in a groove and, when you notice, you've already done all kinds of twists.
The chapters are clearly labeled, so you can pick and choose depending on your time and disposition. And at the end she gives you time for meditation. No more, no less, all you need from a yoga practice, from an unassuming teacher with deep knowledge of the subject. If you're looking for a yoga DVD to practice at home or on the road, this one is hard to beat.』
(Wow! This is a truly useful and enlightening DVD!) 『I've tried many yoga DVD's over the years and find this offering from Micheline Berry to be by far my FAVORITE! The sequences and instruction are easy to follow and I have learned so much. I find that Micheline's technique and style have really enhanced my passion for yoga. It is not only a wonderful tool for learning but so beautifully presented. She has really inspired me to continue to grow my yoga practice. I will most certainly be using this DVD often! So glad to own and have in my collection. Thanks for the great tool!』
(Micheline Berry's Liquid Asana Vinyasa Flow Yoga: Beginners Flow) 『I absolutely Love this DVD program. Easy sequences to follow, that I felt great after doing. Really liked Micheline's energy as a teacher. It was shot beautifully and clear which made it easy to see the instruction. Love the flow and the music also. Definitely one of the best beginner DVD's out there.』
(Vinyasa Flow Yoga for Beginners) 『I was disappointed in this DVD. Three things bothered me: (1) This is definitely NOT for beginners; (2) I objected to all the Hindu religious elements; and (3) The water meditation segment would have worked far better for me had it not been accompanied by vocal music and had the images not continuously been interspersed with Hindu religious icons.』
(Inspirational Flow) 『The sequences presented on this DVD have been the journey for healing my body, mind and soul. Micheline is an example of beauty and grace. Her sensuality is inspirational. Her energy in contagious. This flow is unique. It is wonderful to experience that our bodies are designed to move like water. I recommend Liquid Asana: The Fluid Dance of Vinyasa Flow to all yogis and yoginis. This flow makes us dive into the sensual and undulating dance that deepens our breath, helps our bodies getting stronger and brings more joy to our lives. Actually I've been in Brazil for 2 months and It's been an honor and a great chance to practice Micheline's flow at anytime. I am so grateful for this gift.』 『Beginners Flow is a comprehensive 75 minute practice introducing the basics of Vinyasa Flow Yoga integrated with 4 fluid dance movements (the circle wave spiral and undulation). Micheline takes you on a journey into the liquid freedom of your own body as it meets the empowering structure of Yoga asana ( yoga postures ). While designed for beginners this DVD is also appropriate for anyone wishing to bring more creativity sensuality&flow back into their yoga practice.System Requirements:Running Time: 75 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HEALTH/FITNESS/YOGA Rating: NR UPC: 181582000890 Manufacturer No: WD-1061』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (A Huge Disappointment) 『I wore out my antique tape version of the first Yoga For Beginners, but this follow-up went into the recycling bin. First, I don't want (or expect) advertising at the beginning of any kind of workout DVD. Second, there's too much Pretty Stuff and not enough solid instruction. Third, the poses are mostly floor asanas, and not ones I would have chosen for a gentle beginner's DVD. There are better DVDs out there. Don't waste your money.』
(For someone who's never done yoga) 『If you've never done yoga, this is the DVD for you. Patricia Walden is very good at explaining things and giving you options as you grow in your practice. Some of her imagery is hard to digest for me, but in general, she is a good teacher. The putting it all together section is a nice 16 minute practice for those who are time crunched or still in the beginner stages. There are also sections for flexibility with back bends and forward bends. I thought this section would be for more advanced students, but it's in the same vein as the rest of the DVD with beginner instruction with props and advanced without props. Holding the poses for a bit of time is also interesting because you actually get to listen to your body and feel what is happening as you are doing the pose. There is something to be said for this kind of yoga.』
(Yoga for Beginners) 『Thiswas great, slow paced, easy to go through. I was able to take my time and each step was well described.』
(Very good for a beginner like me!) 『I became interested in trying Yoga after realizing that stretching was the most enjoyable part of my workout program. I had never done yoga prior to watching this video. I felt very relaxed after doing the poses and watching the video. I skipped the props and used a pillow instead of the bolster. Make sure you have an open space and there is view from a wall to your tv because there are a lot of wall poses. The twisting was confusing because it's hard to focus on the moves and all of the direction involved, but overall I think I will get it with practice!』
(Not like the first one) 『I'm disappointed with this DVD for several reasons. I was expecting a calming session like the one in "Yoga for Beginners," but this one moves rather quickly, with cheesy, distracting, somewhat upbeat music. Walden's instruction is rushed, and on my sound system the music rather overwhelms her voice. She doesn't use "mirror image" cueing on this one, so that when she stretches out her right leg and you stretch out your right leg, you end up bending in opposite directions. I find this confusing and hard to follow, especially when it comes to the twisting poses. The other thing that really bugs me is all the props you need---not mentioned on the DVD cover, of course. To do this workout as presented, we absolute beginners need a blanket (easy), two blocks (okay, sure), a real yoga strap, not just a tie (hmmm) and a bolster (these cost $45!). Oh, and a handy empty wall right near your DVD player for lots of the poses. The fold-out pose guide comes nowhere near to containing all the poses presented on the DVD, either. There is good material in here, and Walden is obviously an excellent instructor, but the whole package does not work for me. What happened to elegant simplicity?』 『Studio: First Look Home Entertain Release Date: 01/08/2002 Run time: 100 minutes Rating: Nr』
IPhone 3G used's review (This Mat Rocks!) 『I've practised on the Black&Purple Lite mats and this mat is right up there with the rest of them. The Black mat's too heavy for me as I travel frequently, and I find even the Purple Lite too heavy for shorter trips like hauling to&from the yoga studio. This Eko Lite's great for transporting/ travelling but still retains its heavy feel.
After a week of practice I can safely say it doesn't buckle like the other thin 3mm mats do. It sometimes looks as if the mat is uneven and doesn't sit flat on the floor smoothly, but when you're practicing you don't even feel it - it feels like a flat and solid mat. I practice in a heated room and after warming up, you do need a towel or yogitoes coz it gets slippery when wet (like most other rubber/ PVC mats too). But it grips well when doing a regular not-too-sweaty practice.
While researching this mat I couldn't find more close-up shots of what it looks like up-close, so I've taken some pictures here: http://skippettystreet.blogspot.com/2008/08/eko-lite-where-have-you-been-all-my.html
Overall, a highly recommended product, especially if weight is a consideration.』
(great mat-- smell goes away) 『I was so glad to get this new mat--it's light and easy to transport (because it's thin you can roll OR fold it into a suitcase). The smell is strong but goes away-- you can lay it outside for an hour or 2 to reduce it significantly. Best not to leave it rolled up at first, but let it breathe and the smell goes away. I got the sand color and it's a nice gold... It does wrinkle a little bit in practice, but it's worth it for the lightness and the low enviro-impact.』
(yoga mat review) 『i like the idea of being eco friendly but for me this mat is too thin. also it's texture is too slippery for hot yoga in my opinion. mike』
(Great mat. Smell not bad.) 『I have the Manduka thick black mat. It is the greatest but it is hard to transport and it's not eco-friendly. All of the other thin mats I've used buckle. I've used a lot of mats and have done yoga for a long time. This is an amazing transportable mat and it's eco-friendly. After 3 days leaving it unrolled, the smell on my blue mat is FINE. The quality and sustainability of this product should make it a no-brainer. I love it. If I didn't already own a non-eko black mat (that will survive me- and my kids), I would get the 5 mm eKO mat.
GREAT job, Manduka! Yogis- buy this mat. You'll love it.』
(Returned it) 『I really liked the mat when it arrived - but on opening I saw a 2 inch long deep gash on the smooth side of it - the rubber had not filled properly on that spot. I'm inclined to think it was a quality issue on that particular mat. There are some spots where the rubber seems to have not filled smoothly which I think is how you can make things with natural rubber? - Really dont know. But the deep one made me return the mat, since I thought it might tear at that point given it is only 3mm thick. But I really liked the mat's look and feel. I'm going to buy the 5mm version since it might not be affected by the irregular filling scenario.』 『This is the lighterweight version of Manduka's new eKO yoga mat. We can confidently report that the new eKO mat is the best eco-friendly yoga mat on the market, period. After three long years of research and development, Manduka's resulting product is stunningly impressive. It has a great grip and feel, superior surface grip, and nice durability. The eKO mat's manufacturing process is of the highest integrity. It's made from 100% natural, non-Amazon forested tree rubber, and it's the only eco yoga mat on the market whose foaming agents are completely non-toxic. (Other eco mats might be made from rubber like Manduka's eKO, for example, but their actual manufacturing process still involves toxins.) Because of this, when the eKO mat is disposed of and biodegrades, it will leave behind zero toxic residue. And unlike TPE and other petro-based chemical eco-yoga mats, the eKO mat does not have "memory" from being rolled up and will lay completely flat without corners rolling. This is an extremely high quality yoga mat. Available in 4 great colors. 1/8"x24"x68".』 『The Manduka eKO yoga mat offers something new for eco-conscious yoga practitioners--a natural-rubber, closed-cell mat that's designed for durability and comfort, yet decomposes completely at the end of its useful life without leaving a footprint in landfills. The 3mm thick eKO mat is made from non-Amazon-harvested tree rubber, and boasts a patented manufacturing process that's completely free of oil-based products, toxic materials, foaming agents, and the type of plasticizers commonly found in other eco mats, such as TPE and POE. At the same time, the natural rubber in the eKO mats is latex-free and non-allergenic, so you needn't worry about allergies hampering your yoga routine. This particular yoga mat is 71 inches long and 26 inches wide--4 inches longer and 2 inches wider than most yoga mats. Designed and manufactured with the same level of quality, attention to detail, and respect for the environment that sets apart all Manduka products, the eKO mat comes in four brilliant colors: moss, lava, aqua, and sand.
