Usually ships in 1 to 3 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Indian Music with Yoga in Mind) 『This is a collection, Eastern Indian in flavor, intended for use as background music while you are practicing yoga. It features some of the better know New Earth label artists.
As yoga is an Eastern Indian practice, the feeling to the music overall is very appropriate. The feel of the CD is slow and deliberate, allowing the mind to become free from distraction and concentrate on the yoga positions. It succeeds in achieving this feeling.
The artists presented are Prem Joshua, Al Gromer Khan, Chinmaya Dunster, Hans Christian, Rasa, and Ustad Usman Kahn. Listeners to New Earth Recordings will be familiar with these artists.
The track Jinjhoti by Chinmaya Dunster with Niladri Kumar is a winner. This is almost a jazzy piece, but with very definite Indian flavor. It is highlighted by expert sitar work with the beat of what sounds like a snare drum and cymbal. An enjoyable piece, very light and airy.
Rasa is included in this collection as well. Their track Srita Kamala returns to the slow, deliberate pace set in the earlier tracks, with expert sitar playing. A beautiful, gentle piece and another lovely addition to this collection.
Ustad Usman Khan is a classical sitar player, with raga being his specialty. The piece presented here, Raga Kanshik Ranjana is a traditional raga, interpreted by Mr. Khan in the independent style he is well known for. The piece offers a change of pace, but never gets beyond a level appropriate for yoga practice.
Sitarist Al Gromer Khan offers us something different in the way of Blue Raga. More blues than raga, it has a very Western blues feeling but there are hints of an Eastern influence with the sitar and some of the rifts. Again, the feeling is slow, purposeful and conducive to the yoga practice, but definitely has more of a Western feel than any of the previous tracks.
The last track is by Chinmaya Dunster. Konark is airy and melodic, much more the Celtic Raga Band feel to it, and a nice piece to end this disk with.
This is a good overview of modern Indian music, with a good mix of traditional and progressive material with some Western influences. It is a nice blend of styles and if you are not familiar with modern Indian music, this is a good place to start. Also, it achieves its purpose as being a nice background accompaniment to your yoga practice. This is a very nice compilation of modern sitar masters and styles that will appeal to the world music listener as well as the yoga practitioner. mafoster』 『This CD aids in the deliberate suspension of the stream of consciousness that often clutters the mind during meditation and yoga. It assists to obtain a state of meditative bliss and relaxation as the body comes into a natural state of serenity.』

("beginner" hatha yoga review) 『The description does not fit the video content. This was suppose be a beginners guide, but the exercise is a bit advance. Don't get me wrong it's a great DVD but my wife and I needed a dvd that was for TRUE beginners. The poses were a bit advanced for us.』
(Relaxing) 『I found this video to be very relaxing. I'm not nearly as flexible as he is but I made it work for me. Overall I think it was a great intro to yoga. A yoga video I REALLY like is Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss with Suzanne Deason. Not too hard, not too easy (because there are 4 people practicing different variations of each pose).Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss - Deluxe DVD Edition』
(good stuff) 『As good as a yoga DVD can get... keeping in mind that it's difficult to get into position and then keep looking back at the TV.』
(Looking for relaxation) 『I am 35 with two small children. With little free time, I don't exercise much. I wanted to try hatha yoga because I was reading a book on women and stress. The author suggested, among other things, to try hatha yoga. I needed to find something to help me relax and to start to exercise again. I have tried to start exercising again before, but I get discouraged that I get out of breath and can't seem to keep up with the models in top shape. Although I am not as limber as Naader Shagagi (I would assume most people are not!), I am able to do the yoga. The program did help me relax and my butt is firming up! I am now getting up in the morning to start my day out with yoga. I don't mind getting up because it is a relaxing way to start out the day compared to other exercise videos were I dreaded working out.
I thought the one downside of the video was that he did not tell you what to do if you could not do the pose. For example, there is a triangle pose where you need to bend over and touch the floor. What do you do if you can't reach the floor?

A much better workout is Brian Kest's Power Yoga series; very challenging, but great instruction.』

(Great stress-reliever!) 『I bought system 17 instead of 7 because I had gone for 2 full courses on Pilates beginners. System 17 proved to be challenging but yet doable for a beginner going on to intermediate Pilates. What I like about this DVD is Rael's clear instructions, most of the time, I don't even need to follow what's on screen...by listening to his voice, I can do the movements alongside. Though it can be quite challenging at times, but once you persevere right to the very end of his session, you will feel so much relaxed and rejuvenated. You can just feel that your body is screaming away saying that it's happy and fulfilled!』
(Rael is Real) 『This Pilates dvd is the closest I've come to my awesome pilates instructor at the gym (beginer).』
(The "Rael" Thing) 『I have been doing this DVD off and on for about a year now. Even if you do not complete the pilates demonstrated, you can breathe when instructed and still learn a lot. The accompanying music helps guide the flow of pilates.
As a growing investor in home DVD workouts and mind-body buff, it is a comprehensive 35 minute set of stretches. For me, it permits my body to gently inform my mind of what is aching. Consider my bias though, I am a mat pilates die-hard fan.
At this point, I have done this DVD work out with someone watching me from the couch, a 2 year old under my legs, and a cat dangling off the side of the pilates mat. It is a good "one size fits all" and thus one of my favorite ways to start the day. All you need is some loose clothing, a flat surface to do the exercises, and something to play the whole thing.
』
(Intermediate Pilates users, delight!) 『Intermediate Pilates students will appreciate RAEL PILATES SYSTEM 17, which covers 17 poses for strength and flexibility. Ten additional poses are added to the basics: leg circles, cat stretch and more. Any with the basics down will easily move beyond with SYSTEM 17 on the box!』

IPhone 3G used's review (Helps with sliding!) 『I love this towel so much! It helps with sliding and the colors are great!』
(not quite non slip) 『the towel doesn't slip on the mat but my hands still slip on on the towel. I was looking for something that would help my hands to not slip on my yoga mat.』
(yoguitoes yoga towel) 『It does help to avoid slipping a little, but not 100%. The texture of the side that goes upwards could be thicker to help resistance.』
(Helped reduce slippage) 『During more vigorous sessions my hands would get wet and become slippery. This became a problem when I couldn't stay in down-dog without sliding off the top of my mat. After I starting using this product, I no longer had that problem. I still occasionally will slid a bit but it has reduced this problem 90-95%.』
(Great for slippery hands!) 『This item has been a wonderful purchase for me! During hot yoga sessions, my hands always get slippery, but this towel prevents me from slipping. During down dog, I am now sturdy and not slipping all over the place! I would recommend to spray it with water at the beggining of a class because when it's dry, it doesn't work as well.』 『SKIDLESS yoga hand towels from Yogitoes are great for extra grip during arm balances, improving traction on stationary or spinning exercise equipment, and for pilates in general. These towels are specifically designed to prevent slipping. They are lightweight, super-absorbent, and accented with tiny clear rubber dots which provide extra grip, enabling you to have a steadier exercise routine.

IPhone 3G used's review (Sassybax camisole - Provides a definite improvement....) 『Nice product which is well made. Personally, I find the camisole lives up to the "torso trim" expectation but it doesn't serve as a very well structured "bra". I expect it would be wonderful for those of you with a smaller bust who don't need support or shaping though !』
(PINKMODA - DO NOT BUY FROM HERE) 『DO NOT BUY FROM HERE if you are not sure of your size. I showed these to my husband and he ordered one for me for Christmas - it does not fit and they will not refund or EVEN exchange it! We do not have money to throw away but this is what we did by ordering from this company PINKMODA. I will be reporting them to the BBB. If anyone would like to buy this unusable piece of junk please contact me - I will ship at my expense to the one with the highest offer. It is a size medium -I have other camisole type bras that are size medium that DO fit - I normally wear 36-38C. Hope this helps someone determine their size since you get NO help from PINKMODA and I am truly surprised that Amazon allows this.Sassybax Torso Trim Camisole Plus Shapewear』
(Slimming, extra long, and nice "non-itchy" material) 『I have a few body slimmers. Most are far too short and made out of an itchy nylon type material that gets very miserable to wear past about 15 minutes. True, this one costs about three times those cheaper brands--but it's well worth the xtra in my opinion.
For me the length is a big bonus. It keeps the camisole from rolling up and it allows me to tuck it in to pants.
In the winter this is especially nice. It's very warm and snug. In the summer--well, frankly it would be hot. I'd like to see this company come out with a slighly thinner material for the summer months.
This works great under a clingy dress or sweater....no back bulge and a slimmer contour. Also, the "uniboob" look some other slimmers are notorious for is gone. It lifts and seperates nicely. If you are a size double DD I wouldn't go this route. For those "well endowed" ladies I think the better option is a custom fit bra paired with a good waist trimmer. 』
(Better than I expected....) 『I was pleasantly surprised by this shapewear. I always have hope when I order garments such as these but have consistently been let down. I am large busted and long waisted so shapewear tends to be too short and with woefully insufficient support. I generally have to wear a heavy duty underwire bra, under a camisole under my blouse. With this garment, I can get away with wearing it alone under my blouse. It's long enoungh to stay tucked-in, even with a lower waisted slack and stays in place, amazingly. I pop out the top a bit though and I wouldn't wear it alone (in plain view) as it would be too risque', or for the serious support required for jogging/working out but it's a fabulous underlayer. You feel very held-in and comfortable. If you're less than a double "D", it's probably even better but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone bigger than that or you're likely to be disappointed since I'm probably on the edge of being able to wear it myself. I've read some of the other reviewers who complain it rolls up but it never does on me. It definitely was worth the money. I want to try the underwire version next.』
(love the item) 『although the sizing of the item is completely off, luckly I own them already』 『Is it a bra, is it a camisole, Sassybax is both! Molded, wire-free seamless construction smoothes back to hide bulges, while enhancing the breasts. The built-in seamless soft cups accommodates a range of sizes.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Fit couture) 『After several washes these pieces, (I have several), have held up very well. Little shrinkage or color change. I have a well and keeping color is hard. I am a bit taller, 5'9 and the pants are not too short, nor have they shrunk up.』
(Great Top) 『I love this top. It's very comfortable and fits nicely. Washes well too. I thought it was a great value too. I've bought lots of yoga tops that were more expensive than this but this one ranks as one of my very favorites. It's suppportive too without being too tight!

She's the real deal. Her knowledge of and connection with yoga is so evident that she makes the other books feel superficial and faddish. Iyengar has his place too, of course, but Alice just feels right.』
(This book is the answer to "Where do I start?") 『No need for 1000 words. If you are a beginner, or are starting after a long layoff, this is your book. Sensible, and a great focus on what yoga is all about.』
(Has Stood the Test of Time) 『I purchased this updated version after wearing out my 1987 edition that I had been using for 10+ years. The first thing that struck me is that it's not spiral-bound like it's predecessor, so unless you have the book open somewhere in the middle, you must have something to prop it open. The new book is a smaller format with smaller photos, which also makes it less appealing that the 87 version.
As far as the book, itself, it's a great way to learn yoga. There are 3 courses that are 10 weeks each. Each week, the routines change in small steps, so you build on what you previously learned After using the book for many years, I appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the selection of exercises. They work well together, and the progression each week is just the right amount of difficulty. As far as the weekly subdivisions, I wouldn't pay too much attention to them. For some weekly routines, I spent months before going to the next week. If you see yoga as a lifelong endeavor, then there is really no reason to rush.
The routines are simple and straightforward. Go to page 25 and start the warm-up exercises. There's about 13 of them and they take about 5-10 minutes. Then go to page 43 and start with the exercises for course 1, week 1 (there are 9 of them). Next to each exercise is a page number. Turn to the page number and follow the directions for that exercise. When you are done, go back to page 43 and do the same for the next exercise. That's it. I've yet to see another yoga book make it this simple.』
(Poses) 『I started with this book years ago for my yoga practice. It still helps me to further my practice. An informative all purpose yoga book with clear detail instructions. A must for every yoga library.』
(For those who seek yoga as exercise (not a new worldview)...) 『This book achieves what it sets out to do...introducing the beginner to yoga. It will slowly ease you into the practice of yoga. However, as many have noted, the author also offers new age advice which many will find "weird" at best. Her new age/self-help philosophies might offend the common sensibilities and/or religious beliefs of some. I ignore this stuff and stick to the lessons and that has worked very well for me. If you think this stuff might bother you, tear out the preface&the chapter about philosophies for life, then ignore the tidbits dispersed throughout the rest of the text&lessons plans (fairly easy to do). I've detailed out below the basic format of the book as well as areas where you'll be confronted with her worldview, as I know this may be a concern to some (Christians, in particular) who are considering yoga for exercise.
The lessons are divided into three courses. Within those courses you will find the weekly curriculum. Course One offers 10 weeks worth of curriculum with a maintenance routine, a fatigue-reducing routine and a menstrual cycle routine. At the end of the 10 weeks, you then move on to Course Two. Course Two has 10 more routines. As with Course One, you practice one each week for 10 weeks. Course Two also has a short routine for busy days and another maintenance routine. Course Three is divided like so:
Weeks 1&2: Emotional Stability Routine, Version I Weeks 3&4: Emotional Stability Routine, Version II Weeks 5&6: Full Emotional Stability Routine Week 7: Full Emotional Stability Routine, focusing on specific spots (she recommends "talking to your body". I simply focus on "trouble spots" and try to be reflective. Week 8: Experiment doing routines at different speeds Week 9: Vary your alternate routine to include many asans you haven't practiced in awhile. Experiment with creating routines for yourself. Week 10: She recommends the body talk exercise again. Whatever. I try to focus in on more difficult routines or areas of my body which need more work. She also offers a routine for practicing holding positions, which is not to be repeated two days in a row.
Course Three is where I felt she tried to push her philosophies a little more than some might be comfortable with. This involves talking to your body, which I found to be harmless, but absolutely absurd. If you do not subscribe to new age philosophies, you'll also want to avoid the "Philosophies for Life" chapter at the end of the book entirely as it filled with new age/adapted eastern philosophy. She may deny that yoga is a religion, but this section is the philosophy of a worldview that many would consider religious, if not at the very least in conflict with their own religious beliefs. It is definitely not for everyone - things like karma and reincarnation are addressed as truth. The author's beliefs are not amenable to those found in other religions (Christianity, Islam) and may be offensive to Christians, Muslims and others. I am a Christian (Catholic) and have no trouble ignoring her new age ramblings and self-help philosophies. Her beliefs will probably sound like self help/new age mumbo jumbo to those who consider themselves atheist or agnostic. White lights, ethical guidlines (which seem very much like a religious creed of sorts), etc.
However, it is easy enough to ignore it and adapt it to your own purposes while increasing your difficulty level and introducing yourself to some new challenges. After course three you should be able to create your own routines and will be ready to move on to bigger and better things. This book is a good start to yoga for exercise. I could have done without all of the new age philosophizing and personal ramblings of the author, which I tried to ignore as much as possible. She also refers to evolution, which may be annoying to some as it can be a touchy subject. Again, easily ignored (for me). Yet I wish none of it were there and she had simply stuck to yoga. I realize that yoga is more than exercise to her. The book is still a good starting place if you consider yoga as exercise alone and do not want to take up a new worldview.
There is also a yoga during pregnancy chapter with routines, yoga&sports with routines, yoga&stress management (a bit too much of her philosophies there, as you can imagine). Furthermore, the Yoga Techniques Classified by Type section at the end of the book is very helpful for creating your own routines.
