Usually ships in 2 to 4 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (More Advanced for Kids) 『Great Dvd a bit for advanced for age 5+ I'd say, but the little ones still love to try it.』
(Buy the Vol 2&3 Bundle Instead) 『I bought the second and third volumes as a set, and we love them. Therefore, I thought the first would be equally as good, but I was disappointed. There is little interaction from Marsha (aka Mrs. Yoga) and the order is kind of random. Most of the poses are in the other two volumes as well. This one does have more songs; that was the only benefit for us. This DVD seemed more like a rough draft. The next two are a much better, finished product.』
(Great introduction into Yoga) 『This video is VERY child friendly and parent fun. It is the best Video I have found that really is ALL about children and showing them how fun yoga is and it is all on their level. It is fun, playful, and imaginative without being complicated and flashy. The hands on approach to learning gives it a very Montessori feel. I highly recommend it to any parent.』
(Cute, but too fast) 『My kids really like the *idea* of this video, but the transitions between poses are so fast they can't even begin to keep up (and I can't either!) I suppose it is a good introduction to the poses, but in terms of a video you can follow to build a practice for little ones, it's not very helpful.』
(It is great!) 『My 4 year old daugther loves it! She loves to watch it and practices alone and with me. I highly recommend it.』 『Join in and sing along as four energetic youngsters show your child how fun yoga can be! Taking cues from animals, trees and the nature of the world, these curious 3 to 6 year-olds follow children¹s yoga expert Marsha Wenig as she guides creatively adapted yoga basics set to playful original songs.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Perfecto!) 『Estoy tratando de ampliar mi conocimiento del ashtanga yoga, y este DVD es perfecto por las siguientes razones:
1. El inglés de Tania Jo Ingraham se entiende muy bien. Su pronunciación es buena y habla en forma pausada. 2. El DVD nos permite familiarizarnos con los nombres en sánscrito de las asanas de la primera serie y su pronunciación. 3. El DVD da la facilidad para aquellos que no tenemos mucha experiencia en el ashtanga, de conocer cada asana con detalle, que se debe hacer, y aun más importante, las modificaciones que se pueden hacer, en caso de que no seamos estudiantes intermedios o avanzados de ashtanga. 4. El paisaje es maravilloso, especialmente en las secciones en que se ve el mar y el sol radiante de Hawaii. 5. Para aquellos que ya saben todo lo que deberían de las posturas, pueden saltarse la parte de las lecciones y entrar directo a la primera serie.
Dude un poco antes de comprar el DVD, pero ahora estoy convencida que fue una buena inversión.』
(fabulous) 『I have been taking Ashtanga classes for a couple of years now. This CD is just like having an instructor in your home. I have been able to advance my practice because of it. Clear instructions. I love the fact you can see many different people practicing, shows you what different body types do. I can't say enough good things about it. If some of the poses are beyond your ability right now you are shown modifications. Ashtanga has changed my body (and my mind) for the better, I have never done such a powerful practice. It is well worth trying. If you keep working at it you will be amazed.』
(One of the best Ashtanga DVDs on the market!) 『I have been practicing yoga for almost 2 years now but I am still a beginner. I can't do arm balances or head stands but I can do most of the basic poses. I found Ease Into Ashtanga challenging without being overwhelming. This DVD is the full Ashtanga Primary series. The DVD is broken up into lessons where each pose is explained fully with modifications. Then once you master the poses, you can do one of 4 flows...the full 90 minute flow, a 60 minute, 40 minute and 30 minute flow. You can also pick which instructor's voice you want (out of 3). They even explain proper sitting and breathing. It is a very thorough DVD and one that a beginner can grow into. I think it is challenging enough for intermediate and advanced yoga students as well since they will probably be able to get into the full poses (very challenging!) rather than the modifications. It's a fun DVD and never boring. Minimal chatter which is refreshing. Plus, Ashtanga is a lot of fun and super conditioning!』
(Great Challenging DVD) 『I really enjoyed this DVD even though I do not recommend it for beginners (some postures are quite challenging!). It is a great DVD if you are used going to yoga studio and want to practice at home.』
(Easy to follow) 『This is a wonderful DVD. Great intro into the full primary series.If what you're looking for is STRAIGHT ashtanga with no mondifications or variations go with this... TAMARA'S YOGA FUSION』 『Over 3 1/2 hours of professional yoga instruction shot on location in Hawaii. Essential 3 is proud to present the first run of Ease Into Ashtanga. This fabulous yoga DVD was created with the excellent instructors at the Yoga-Hawaii school in Honolulu. Tania Jo Ingraham and Rupali have created the Ease Into Ashtanga curriculem as a perfect entry to the Vinyasa (breath and movement) style of Ashtanga. This DVD truely creates a manageble way to approach the active sytle of Ashtanga. This DVD utilizes the latest dual layer DVD technology to provide over 3 1/2 hours of video content. The DVD contains two elements. The first element is instructional, teaching all the postures in the primary series of Ashtanga and also offers modifications for each of the poses. The second element is the 75 minute flow series. You may also select from a 30 minute, 40 minute, 50 minute or 60 minute routine. Multiple Teacher Voices: Using your DVD remote you can select your teacher for the practice. Rupali, Diane or Tania.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Overrated) 『This dvd was far from challenging and way over priced when compared to Bryan Kest's Power Yoga. I purchased one of Bryan Kest's dvds that came with 3 long sessions. Each session is supposed to be progressively more difficult. It took me months to master the first session alone, but I did the best I could each time and was extremely satisfied with my results. This dvd uses many of the same moves and transitions that Bryan Kest uses so I was familiar with her cues; in other words, the lack of description or demostration of a position was not a problem for me. All in all if you are looking for a yoga dvd that will truly challenge your athleticism, this is not it. Try Bryan Kest's power yoga and you will not only get a great deal but a great work out.』
(Great DVD for Runners) 『I was looking for a yoga DVD to compliment my running and this is the best that I have found. It is a great, and easy to follow, workout.』
(No-nonsense and inspirational) 『Yoga for Atheletes is an excellent read. I appreciate the no-nonsense approach to this critical element of physical balance, especially as part of a more holistic wellness program. I enjoyed the author's style as well as content and descriptions of the various benefits. An easy read with much content and information. Excellent』
(The Athlete's New Best Friend!) 『This is an awesome yoga practice for all levels! While it doesn't take you through the advanced poses like headstands, arm balances, etc., the clever sequencing takes you through every pose that your body really needs - just none of the injury prone poses that help us show off! This practice will keep you safe while focusing on all the muscle groups the athlete particularly needs - basic stretching, hip openers, Warrior I-III, and plenty of pushups if you choose to accept that challenge:-) If not, you can always do them on your knees. Kimberly Fowler's voice and pacing are very nice, and her attitude is encouraging and non-judgemental. While she doesn't try to provide the spiritual guidance running rampant among yoga teachers, she does say that this is a natural bi-product of a yoga practice in her website Q&A. Personally, I like that she is cool with letting each of us experience our own personal spiritual journey and focuses on guiding us through a very efficient and focused practice. I use this DVD regularly and can't wait for the next one! I liked it so much that I also purchased the IPOD download version!』
(Recommended by a friend, and met expectations) 『I was interested in incorporating yoga into my training routine, and this program was recommended by a friend. It was exactly what I expected, and after three weeks of use, I can see that I am getting the desired results (greater flexibility, core strength, body control).
Some of the routine was difficult for me at first, and some parts of the routine remain challenging even as I have progressed. The jacket recommends watching the entire video at least once before participating, and I would say that is good advice - when you are working out, it allows you to concentrate on the verbal cues without constantly interrupting the movement/position to look at the tape.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (treating the liver right) 『This workout gave me new access to the power of the liver and how to support it. Ravi makes great suggestions all through the dvd in addition to just going through the exercises. Kundalini yoga is so potent and yet we all can do it. Enlightenment only comes through purification, so this is an essential step on the path.』
(Really Worked For My Liver and Beyond!) 『This challenging, but very doable, program offers more than just a standard fitness approach to de-tox. The sequencing and originality of these exercises are amazing. After doing this for 2 weeks, my skin looks better and I feel lighter and have more energy. Kundalini Yoga with Ana&Ravi is effective and enjoyable fitness. I believe that everyone should include this workout in their fitness rotation. Everyone is talking about cleaning the environment these days. It stands to reason that we should also focus on cleaning our own!』
(Purchase this, but not as your FIRST Raviana DVD.) 『I have 9 other Ravi Singh and Ana Brett Kundalini Yoga DVDs and love each of them. I was very excited to get this DVD, but I don't know if I can even use it again; it was stressful going through it the first time. Each of the other DVDs is of the highest quality; the set bright, light, open and clear. The instruction clear and peaceful in either Ana's sweet gentle voice, or Ravi's peaceful voice. This vid is very different in unsettling ways. First, the "studio" is an open warehouse with glaring fluorescent lights. These lights are diminished and during the actual class, there is a dark background with an odd spotlight in the back behind Ana. It is sort of gloomy and eerie looking, which is enhanced by the background noise of sirens making you feel that this was taped in a bad area of town at night. The spoken lesson by Ravi is not as smooth as usual and that wouldn't be bad, but the setting and mood have already changed the quality of the potential. The musical background is also less than smooth - think of a cassette tape playing in the background that needs to be occasionally restarted because you got to the end of side one. The lesson is excellent, and I wish that instead of transferring this to DVD, they would have redone the DVD anew keeping the lesson, but changing the quality to that of their newer works. If it were not that I already practically worship these two people and I already know how wonderful their work is, this DVD may have prevented me from trying any of their others. As it is, this particular DVD is sitting on my table with me glaring at it, unable to muster up enough to do it again. Argh, I could ignore the visuals, because I've done enough that I don't need to watch it; but, I cannot get past the sirens in the background.
** Well, I finally got back into it and am glad. I still wouldn't suggest buying it as your first Raviana DVD, and I still don't like some of the visuals, still notice the sirens, but can ignore these things now. The benefits of this DVD outweigh the distractions.』
(Fat Free Yoga Cleanse) 『I really like this video. I almost love it, but I don't quite love it because by the end I feel a little sick and like I want to curl up in a ball and sleep. Maybe that is the whole point. I personally like the DVD's that leave me feeling energized and good. This one works my body and I feel like I've really accomplished something, but I don't feel "healthy" afterwards. I would still highly recommed it though.』
(Great workout) 『One notch down because of the production quality. Ravi and Ana's newer DVD's are great quality!!! Only "Yoga Cleanse" and "Total Tune Up" were of this quality.Ravi and Ana don't change a thing later, still great, but with some enhancements. Ana's makeup gets better, There is breathing in the voice over ot direct and inspire you., etc. Each successive DVD they put out is better still. My favorites are, "Warrior Workout". The production quality is better yet, and it is a very challenging workout, as are "Navel Power, and "Ultimate Stretch" I love them! Then there is Fat Free Yoga" (This is where the production quality is great, and the music is wonderful with each successive DVD), "Beginners and Beyond", "A Journey Through the Chakras" (A masterpiece), "Bliss Hips", "Dance the Chakras", "Beauty Body". I love them all, but these are my faves!
About the new "Matrix" option on most of their DVD's -- it is fantastic!

Good Times Video
Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (light workout, not for relaxing) 『Compared to other yoga dvds, this is more of a workout. I didn't get as good of a stretch as I do from most yoga classes or dvds. The instructor didn't use the names of the poses, which i guess isn't that important since you can see her, and the person who was doing the modified positions wasn't in view most of the time. This would be good for someone who is just starting to work out, or for a light work out for someone of moderate fitness level. I would pass if you are not new to yoga and if you're in good shape. I felt like it was kinda a waste of my time, I didn't get a stretch or a work out.』
(I am addicted to this DVD!) 『I consider myself to be in pretty good shape, but I had never tried yoga before. On the reccomendation of a friend I ordered this DVD. I really love it.
Being new to yoga I knew nothing about any poses, how to get into them or out of them. The instructor in this dvd walks you through every single pose as you are doing it. I could close my eyes and get into every position just by following the instructor's voice. Having done a few other yoga dvd's now, I really appreciated how this one all flows together. Each pose flows into the next pose with a shift of weight and/turn of the body. You also get the beginners pose BEFORE the instructor moves into the more difficult position. This is different from every other dvd I have done where the instructor moves into the more difficult pose and then after a few seconds says something like "if this position is too challenging then try this" .. I learned modifications on this dvd that i have been able to apply to other dvds.
I am not sure what "power" yoga is supposed to be. I can tell you that this dvd is a full body work out. If you aren't feeling it then you aren't stretching yourself into the poses. I do agree with other posters though, this really a stretching yoga dvd. The poses are not difficult, they are effective. I really feel wonderful after doing this dvd and I use it at least once a week in combination with other yoga dvd's that I have. This one leaves me feeling limber, warm and refreshed.
That being said, if you are looking for a dvd with advanced poses and a high difficulty level, this is not the dvd for you. If you are a beginner, this is the perfect dvd for you.』
(This video got me hooked on yoga.) 『It's been almost 15 years since I exercised regularly, and when I first tried yoga, finally trying to get into shape, I was bored by the slow pace but couldn't keep up with other cardio videos. With yoga, I felt like was breathing awkwardly and that I wasn't getting a workout at all.
But after experiencing years of chronic back pain with no relief despite physical therapy, heavy prescription drugs, and thousands of dollars in chiropractic visits, I was driven to try yoga again.
It was this video that got me hooked. When I concentrated on my stretches and following the techniques Kirsten (yoga master in this video) suggests, I was amazed by the almost immediate effect I felt. After just two workouts, my lower back pain lessened, and I began to feel more limber. My muscles began to tone up, and my body seemed to come alive. I could feel bones, tendons, and muscles that had been dormant for years!
Although I still have pain from time to time in my sacrum, this video has helped me feel better than I have in years! It is awesome!』
(Relaxing, but not "power") 『I really enjoy this workout, but I am a beginner in yoga, and even I know there isn't anything "powerful" about it. It is very relaxing and a great stretching workout, but I didn't break a sweat at all. It goes by fast, which I like. I was surprised by how short it seemed, but I did like it.』
(The Firm Power Yoga) 『This DVD is a good basic Yoga workout. I like to do it once a week to stretch and work on core strength and balance. At 40 minutes, it is just right for me.』 『The FIRM Power Yoga DESCRIPTION A yoga workout done FIRM style offers body sculpting weight loss solutions in an easy to follow workout.』

(baby yoga) 『Starting yoga for myself before my second child was born, I discovered its many benefits (don't want to get into this, but you can research&read for yourself)&was excited to find out about the Itsy Bitsy Yoga classes for children. I did the live classes with my second child, used Helen's book for my third child (which I also highly recommend), and now am using this great DVD for my fourth! After all, one can only afford to pay for so many yoga classes :) (although they are definately worth it). I like the DVD, as I am visual, and I feel like I am back in the live class. What's also great is it has sections for newborns&those for older babies. Provides great bonding for you&your child--recommend for new mommies&even experienced ones. Looking forward to getting the book for my toddlers&can't wait for a toddler DVD to come out! (Helen, are you reading this?)』

Musician, filmmaker, and human rights worker Michael Franti first tried yoga as a way to cope with the stresses of touring internationally with his band, Spearhead.

Join Michael as he practices with two of his favorite teachers—David Life and Sharon Gannon, creators of Jivamukti, the yoga of spiritual activism.
