(Peaceful yet exotic!) 『I have bought 8-9 other CDs with this one, many a disappointment sadly. When I received the Yoga Groove, I was thinking "here we go again!" until I heard the first song. Intoxicating, healing, dream invoking, smooth flowing music - great for yoga, relaxation or just for every day use. I often use it during my hectic car ride to work, very soothing.
I also use it during prenatal yoga. Hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.』
(Received what I expected) 『I received the cd brand new but the jewel case was broken on the inside. I don't think it was the fault of the seller but probably how it was shipped. It took a while to get but I had the free shipping so I wasn't too surprised.』
(I like the CD) 『I like this CD the first time I listened and now I listen to it everyday. I like it more and more』
(Very inspiring) 『This CD came in very handy. I have started doing yoga at home, after three years yoga classes with certified teachers. This CD helps me get in the mood of practising. It's absolutely fabulous!』 『"Whether you teach active yoga or just enjoy practicing yoga in your home, this is perfect to keep you moving." -ACCENT WEEKLY
"This is not your mother’s yoga music Composed/performed/produced by DJ Free, his keyboards, Native flute and distinctive chanting flow along grooves laid down by master percussionist Brent Lewis…the overall feel is richly layered, a kind of primal naturalness mixed with an edgy urbanity. If one’s style of yoga, dance, or movement is highly energetic, this could be the perfect motivator." -NAPRA REVIEW
"On Ice...DJ Free and Peter Schimke made sure all their musical chromosomes were properly aligned before hauling in a posse of luminaries, local and otherwise, to put the glisten on their first non-soundtrack collaboration. even as a simple augmented duo, the programming whiz and keyboardist-around-town slide accross genre boundaries with Olympic-caliber grace, mixing potentially unwieldy elements - shuffly house-music tectonics, serious jazz piano, and high-disco string pyrotechnics - as though they were water." -CITY PAGES

I am one who has great difficulty in taking time for myself and relaxing. I have a lot of stress which has caused much heartache. My counselor has suggested I try meditation so I got this DVD. That night I used it and was very impressed with the instuctors smooth clear voice. It is a very guided meditation that concentrates on body and breathing. When ever my mind started to wander, it helped a great deal in helping me to concentrate on me and breath. I was able be concious but be in a deep relaxed state. It helped me to release thoughts and stressers in a concious manner yet I was able to remain in deep relaxed state. I felt it also brought clairty to things that were causing the stress.』
(Great Assist) 『On the recommendation of a friend I ordered and began immediately using this CD. There are a number of reasons why I have recommended this CD to all my friends. The primary reason is that though I am still a fairly new practitioner of this particular kriya I'm already seeing numerous positive effects including a pervasive calmness post-listening which continues on into the next day (I listen to the CD every evening all the way through and then go to sleep). In addition, while I used to have occasional unpleasant vivid dreams...so far, those have stopped completely. The voice that guides you through to the yoga nidra state is one I find soothing and pleasant to listen to. The practice of bringing attention to various points of the body also appears to be assisting me in my daily meditative practice as well as helping me during the day keep bringing attention back to any changes of mood or mental states.
I highly recommend others try this CD for themselves and see how the practice and entering into Yoga Nidra assists the practitioner.』
(Help Put Me To Sleep) 『As in everyone this is something that either touches you deeply or helps in other ways.』
(Great Meditation Experience) 『I'm saddened by the "1 star" review on this item. As someone who does a lot of meditation, and a variety of meditations, I enjoy this CD very much. Could I have done it myself? Yes, but that's true of almost every spoken meditation CD. But I didn't.
As someone who meditates frequently, I enjoy this audio CD because it has a variety of meditations, which I can mix up into various length "programs" of different lengths. It's not just the short version, the medium version, and the long version. 』
(Good for guided relaxation) 『As some other reviewers have complained, the voice rather drones, but that isn't the worst thing in the world: who needs an excited guide when looking to relax? Anyway, the guided, point by point relaxation is just what I was looking for, so I'm pretty happy with it. I can fathom better though (e.g. maybe have binaural beats going in the background or some such), so 4 is the best I give this. 』 『This meditation is an authentic rendering of Yoga Nidra as taught in the Himalayas by the masters of Yoga, Vedanta and Tantra. While it is an advanced meditation practice, anyone can start the practice while watching it deepen over time.
Yoga Nidra literally means "Yogic Sleep." In this deep meditation you train your attention to leave the chatter of the Waking state of mind, go past the fantasy of the Dreaming state, and consciously, intentionally enter the stillness of the Deep Sleep state, yet paradoxically remain awake and in deep meditation. For thousands of years the Yogis have used Yoga Nidra to master the art of sleep, to balance the subtle energies, and to experience greater depths of meditation.
The state of conscious Deep Sleep or Yoga Nidra is underneath, behind, or subtler than meditations at either the Waking or Dreaming levels. This subtle state is called "Prajna," which means "supreme knowing." "Pra" means "supreme," and "jna" means "knowing." The conscious experience of this state is a doorway to higher, formless knowing that has been called the infinite library of wisdom and the teacher within.
The depth of authentic Yoga Nidra comes from inner awareness of the levels of your own self, including your body, breath, and the subtler mind, rather than diverting attention through music or inner fantasies (as pleasant as these may be). This inner exploring through self-awareness is a more refined form of meditation that leads you deeper into the stillness and silence of your own being, while remaining fully awake and aware. The Yoga Nidra methods bring you to a place of awareness where you are able to completely let go of any words, thoughts, images, impressions, or pictures in the mind. You are guided to allow your mind to "empty, empty, empty" though you remain fully awake and clear of mind.
The practices on this CD will gently train your ability to direct your own attention, which is the primary skill in the art of meditation. You will find that you are gradually able to use these methods on your own, without the CD, and the benefits will be with you not only during your practice time, but also during the activities of daily life.
The voice will systematically guide you to explore your physical body, then move through 61 specific points within the body, and then practice ascending breath awareness along the body and spine. Your attention will be brought to the space between the eyebrows, then to the throat, and finally to the heart center, where you will go deep into stillness and silence, beyond the activities of the mind.
The Yoga Nidra CD has five tracks. The first track is an introduction (8:02 minutes), describing the state of Yoga Nidra and the practices on the CD. The next four tracks move through four sequential practices that are listened to together, so as to form a complete practice of 57:24 minutes (CD is 65:36 minutes in total). These four tracks can also be listened to individually, as complete practices unto themselves, which allows you to have the benefits of practice when less time is available.』

(Great for relaxation, a few selections work for yoga.) 『This is a very good CD for relaxation and chilling out at home after a long day at the office. All 7 of the recording artists who perform the 12 selections on the CD are in top form and the music varies from chants or flute solo, to synthesized space music. However, I don't think it is the right CD for meditative yoga. For example, Randy Armstrong's two selections were a bit too influenced by jazz and improvisation and this made them less appropriate for quite meditation. I found 5 selections that would work for meditative yoga practice but many of the others were a bit too vocal or too jazzy to enduce meditation and quiet. The five selections I think were right for meditation were Air Oil by Peas, Opening and Devotion by Stephen DeRuby and Plant and Misty by Kitaro.』

However, I like music with a bit more rythym for Sun Salutations/vinyasas, after the 1st quarter of the CD. It is a nice CD for small gatherings as well.』
(Great all around CD!) 『I am a Yoga instructor, and purchased the CD with my classes in mind. I wanted something a little different than my usual traditional music, and this was! It is a great blend of modern western beats meets eastern lounge like music. There is a good mix of soft and upbeat songs great for a yoga practice with variety.The music tracks are also wonderful for entertaining and peaceful relaxation.』
(Ideal for Yoga!) 『This is definitely a WONDERFUL choice for Yoga, perfect actually. Great transitions and progression throughout. Takes you on a Yoga journey planned just for you! I highly recommend this album and also Yoga Salon, two great yoga titles.』
(Yoga Moods) 『After a long day at work, I like to drive home listening to soothing and relaxing music. When I heard Yoga Moods, I made three CD copies, one for my car, one for my office and one d/l for my ipod. Yoga Moods takes you to a place of tranquility and a place of sanctuary. The sounds are mezmerizing. I highly recommend this title for any yoga enthusiast and anyone who enjoys relaxing music.』
(Perfect for Yoga and everything else) 『I heard this in yoga class the other day and thought it was the best music for yoga I had every heard. Unlike other yoga music CDs that have music from India or meditation music, this one has a blend of hip downtempo electronica tracks that are not only perfect for yoga, they are also great for entertaining friends or just relaxing at home. It's mixed by the Gordon Brothers who also did the Buddha-Lounge series that is really great too. Check it out!"』 『Find Inner Balance - Discover a mellow spot where you can unwind, feel centered and renew your body, mind and spirit. This serene set of richly satisfying chill/lounge grooves has been carefully handpicked by renowned yoga-instructor trainer Beth Shaw and exclusively mixed by the Gordon brothers (Buddha-Lounge, Hotel Tara).

(yoga for kids) 『My 4 year old daughter loves it. When Mommy does her yoga she can do some of the exercises,too. Many times she just gets it out and does a section on her own. She is so flexible, I wish I had this when I was a child. Very simple to follow, and fun for the parent to do together.』
(Perfect past time for too hot summer days) 『My son loves this DVD set! When it is too hot and humid to go outside he pops it in and does Silly to Calm to get his wiggles out. I don't even have to remind him he has it, he does it all by himself. My only complaint is that one of the DVDs is slightly off, the intro is scrambled, but it doesn't affect the work-out part of the video so no big deal. I would definitely recommend this set to anyone with young children.』
(interesting but too long) 『The video incorporates different kinds of postures in a fun way. However, I think a 40 min non-stop sessions is too long to hold any 3-5 year old's interest. Instead, if different routines, each at the most 10 min. long had been presented it would have been better. A parent could guide the child do those, or even accompany the child doing them. And by having different routines there would also have been more variety for the child. My three year old grand son soon lost interest and moved away to play with some other toys.』
(Very entertaining for toddlers!) 『I bought this for my little home daycare and have found it to be the most popular video in my collection to them. The two-year-olds especially ask for it all the time. It's a great way to keep them active when it's too hot to go outside.』 『Kids love doing yoga - especially when it feels like play. This acclaimed DVD set engages your child with fun yoga-style moves and activities to develop physical fitness, learning skills and confidence. In YogaKids 2 ABCs (40 minutes), letters, animals and nature inspire your child to get moving. YogaKids 3: Silly to Calm (40 minutes) helps release restless energy and teach helpful tools for handling everyday feelings and challenges. Entertaining and educational, YogaKids Fun Collection is destined to be a family favorite.』

(Blown away) 『Attention to anyone who plans to make a yoga video in the future: a new bar has been set. I was amazed when I saw this thing. I never thought I would encounter a video that is actually better than most live yoga classes I've attended. This video is that good. Tamara combines a thorough understanding of the practice with an easy-to-follow teaching method that works for all skill levels. For anyone even remotely interested in yoga to those who have practiced it for years, if you are going to buy a yoga video please get this one. You will not be disappointed in the least bit.』
(Excellent Yoga instructional DVD) 『Tamara's Yoga Fusion is a great instructional DVD. She gives clear instructions on how to properly get into each pose. Poses are organized together into sections that make sense and work together. She explains the details of each pose with special emphasis on positioning of all body parts and breathing. Her instructions are easy to understand for both beginners and more advanced students. Overall I would highly recommend this DVD.』
(Love it !) 『I can be a very discriminating buyer. I shop, compare and shop more... However, there was no hesitation when I purchased Tamara's Yoga Fusion DVD. It is as great as I thought it would be. I think I will buy as few more DVDs for gifts to some of my friends.』
(A Great Workout!) 『Tamara's Yoga Fusion is a great yoga DVD - and, what a workout!! Of course, you can take it easy if you want to, but believe me you can really get a great work out. A big plus with this DVD is Tamara! Her voice is really pleasant and easy to listen to and she seems so genuine. She gives very thorough instructions all the way through the DVD. In fact, when you are in the poses she gives additional instructions that allow you to make micro-corrections. I love this DVD!』 『Tamara s Yoga Fusionis not your typical yoga dvd. This 90 minute instructional vinyasa style yoga DVD is a powerful and original yoga practice suited for all levels. Tamara Schreyer, M.A., CYT, from San Diego teaches a creative blend of Power yoga, Ashtanga yoga, and Vinyasa Flow yoga all accompanied by an inspiring array of contemporary music by up-and-coming artists. Tamara s guided practice focuses on the importance of moving with your breath and proper alignment throughout the entire practice.
This DVD is unique for several reasons. The music is not traditional yoga music. The soundtrack features acoustic guitar and piano played by up-and-coming artists from San Diego and Ireland. The DVD has the look and feel of something more surreal, dreamlike or a Cirque Du Soleil quality to it; however it is instructional and easy to follow. Tamara s voice is soothing and easy to understand even with the more detailed postures.
The DVD has a menu to choose from (stand-alone chapters) if the viewer does not want to do the entire practice, they have the choice to start the class at any point. The menu is broken down as follows.
1.Introduction A creative and personal look at yoga teacher Tamara Schreyer in her element. 2.Sun Salutations A&B 3.Standing and Balancing Postures 4.Seated Postures 5.Backbend Sequence 6.Closing Sequence 7.Guided Shavasana』

With a slow, steady rhythm, "The White Spirit" from French duo Uman unfolds the collection splendidly, transporting the listener to an exotic, rhythmic place perfect for focusing the mind and stretching the body. Other standouts include "Bridges" from Celtic-folk artists Nightnoise, featuring a lyrical acoustic guitar and plaintive violin; Philip Aaberg's poetic "Crying Smile"; and Patrick O'Hearn's electronic "87 Dreams of a Lifetime," whose cadences are just spirited enough to keep your body moving while still laid-back in delivery and meter.Yoga Zoneis a solid collection whose only weakness lies in its demand to be listened to rather than used to underscore physical movement.--Karen Karleski』

The difference with this one is that though I'm familiar with the basics of yoga, I don't quite have the flexibility that is needed for some of the other videos. This video challenges me at times, yet makes me feel like I can complete it without much strain. It keeps from being over-athletic, but also from being over-woo-woo. When I'm done, I have a feeling that it wasn't so hard, but usually feel the stretch the next day when I haven't practiced in awhile. It is definitely relaxing and strength-building.』
