Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (One of my favorites) 『Another great yoga CD from Shiva Rea -- one of my favorites. The instructions are clear and the breathing flows nicely, though it's probably not recommended for people who are brand new to yoga, where visual cues would be helpful. The yoga nidra and pranayama sections are superb. I have almost all of Shiva Rea's yoga CDs and would definitely recommend them all.』
(a beautiful discovery) 『I have been a yoga practitioner my entire life (a long time) and this is a lovely addition to my regular class schedule. It allows me to do a guided practice in a hotel room or rooms of my house without a tv screen. The music provides a soothing, spiritual background.』
(Open Your Heart) 『It is unfortunate that I have only done this workout twice before I injured my rotator cuff (not due to the workout)! I was a little apprehensive about useing a cd but now that I have I find it a wonderful experience. I am able to go a little deeper "within" than I do with a dvd. This is probably because I don't have any attention directed toward a screen! I found the practice to be solid and the OM and kirtan chanting awesome. Not for beginners of course. My shoulder is just about healed and I will be so happy to regularly practice with Shiva again.』
(Great guided work-out) 『Shiva Rhea successfully delivers again with this voice-guided yoga work-out. Intense enough to work up a sweat, but also flexible enough to accomodate both intermediate and advanced practicers. I also enjoyed the background music that is played throughout. You will definitely need to be familiar with yoga postures and their names in order to benefit from this CD. It's best to start off doing yoga with a live instructor anyway. If you are intermediate to advanced, this is a nice rounded out practice that you can do at home. I highly recommend it.』
(Balanced Sequence for the Experienced Practitioner) 『Don't be put off by the title - foremost this CD set offers a well-rounded flow of asanas that are complemented by the chanting at the end of the second CD. Jai Uttal's music is ideal accompaniment. Rea has, as usual, designed the tracks to be accessible for different needs - length of time, type of practice, time of day, etc. I especially apprecite the gems of poetry (Hafiz) and thought (Upanishads) she has interspersed with her instruction. Altogether a worthwhile purchase!』 『The journey of all yogas, in every tradition, leads us to a single destination: an open and loving heart connected to the Source. On Yoga Chant, instructor Shiva Rea and acclaimed world music artist Jai Uttal guide yoga lovers into a transformative "inner yoga" practice of the heart to experience: Chant (kirtan)– India’s ecstatic sacred sound tradition for opening ourselves to love and devotion, Postures and Movements (asanas) in a flowing sequence to expand the chest and rib cage, and release the physical and emotional "armoring" of daily stress, and Meditation and Breathwork (pranayama) – specificmeditations and breathing cycles to nourish the heart center with prana (vital life energy).』

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Transformative and hugely relaxing) 『I recently took a weekend workshop with Todd Norian here in West Virginia, and this music was highlighted. I am at that point in life where I truly love my quiet meditation and yoga, and this music is enormously beneficial to me in its ability to soothe my soul during my practice and at other times as well. I recommend it highly!』
(Excellent for Yoga) 『I ordered this for my yoga practice not just for relaxation. I had heard it in a yoga class so knew what I was ordering. I feel it is really a personal preference as to one's choice of music for yoga.』
(lovely) 『My yoga instructor uses this CD in our classes, so I bought it to use in the classes I teach. I just love it, and I don't like much that's out there for yoga. It's very nonintrusive, unlike some music that has too much singing or change in tempo between songs. As the title implies, it is soothing and is good for relaxation background music as well as yoga.』
(Bija) 『Very nice recording of music and mantras, but not recommended for meditation newbies. Mantras can be distracting, making it difficult to focus. I enjoy relaxing with this CD, but I'm an experienced meditator.』
(Relaxing2Day) 『I have a very stressful job and listen to it occasionally at work when I would otherwise run out of the building while screaming.』 『A very deep and pwerful music CD that opens the heart, calms the mind, and creates a direct connection with spirit within. Bija is a Sanskrit word that means sacred, source, or beginning. Serene and estatic. Todd Norian has created a perfect blend of ancient and contemporary sounds to sooth the soul. With over 30 years of music, yoga, and meditation experience, Todd captures the essence and magic of inner peace through sound. Enjoy this mesmerizing music which will help you release tensions and stress, transporting you to a state of bliss and connection with the natural source of spirit within.』

The music is upbeat but the beat does not interfere with the rhythm of the pilates moves. This music also works well for an awakening yoga session. You won't be disappointed if you purchase this cd.』
(My Class Participants Noticed!) 『I promised some new music for my Pilates classes and played this CD and even my class participants noticed it. We usually don't notice the music that much. I particularly like the steady 95 BPM throughout the workout.』 『Rhythmic, beautiful and powerful, Mat Pilates 2 is the perfect soundtrack for an energizing Pilates workout.This CD is specifically designed for Mat Pilates classes and is divided into 3 sections: 1) Warmup at 100 bpm, 2) The Workout at 95 bpm, and 3) Cooldown at 85 and 70 bpms.

Usually ships in 24 hours IPhone 3G used's review (Does not play on U.S. players) 『Although this item is supposed to be for "All Regions," it is NOT. Taking a chance because one reviewer said she could play it, I ordered and am very disheartened this morning to find it will not play on any of my DVD players or computers. This is a terrible disservice to Ms. Mesko and to the people who want to use her beautiful practice. Amazon, you need to pull this product for American consumers. Ms. Mesko, your production company needs to produce a DVD that is available for your many American fans. If you have already ordered and need to return, contact Amazon so they can send you instructions and a label that will avoid you having to pay return shipping and handling. I am deeply disappointed.』
(Instructions from a true master) 『This is a gorgeous presentation of mudras. Ms. Mesko's instructions are clearly understandable and well-thought and offered in a setting of visual beauty. Anyone with an inkling of the profound benefits of ancient hand gestures will also recognize that they are receiving instructions from a true master.
Sabrina Mesko has very effectively imbued this project with her uniquely artistic vision and has successfully gone far beyond anything I've seen in this genre. Ms Mesko's voice, which provides narration throughout, is extremely soothing and inspires profound calmness.
By the way, I am in the US of A and have had no problem playing Mesko's advanced mudra DVD either on my little portable player or on my PC. 』
(Healing for the senses, relaxing for the soul) 『I am a social worker and I am often burned out and stressed when I get home after a ten-twelve hour day. A friend gave me this video and suggested it might relieve stress. I was dubious at best. These mudras and breathing exercises were unlike anything I have ever tried before. They are simple to follow, and give immediate results. They are broken down for specific situations so you can go directly to your area of need. The art direction is stunning, and Sabrina Mesko has a reassuring warmth as she leads you through the mudras. Whether I pop the dvd in for five minutes or 25, this was the best gift ever. I am able to implement these techniques at work easily to de-stress and focus my energy. I highly recommend these mudras, they are truly healing and rejuvenating!』
(doesn't play on USA DVD players) 『I was so excited to see Sabrina Mesko come out with a new mudras DVD. Finally it arrived. But it is unable to play on USA DVD players. I tried it on many many players and couldn't get it to play. it wouldn't even play on my computer! Well, you may be thinking that you can try it anyway because Amazon will reimburse you since it is defective. surprise! surprise! surprise! They will only reimburse the cost of the item and the return shipping; customer has to bear cost of s/h from amazon to customer. Are you thinking "no problem, I got free s/h!" well surprise again! Eventhough they didn't charge you when you were sent it, they will deduct the s/h cost from the item reimbursement making the customer pay for the s/h on defective items! So be careful. I got charges for s/h twice because I was dumb enough to ask them to send a replacement for their defective dvd and it was defective too! I paid s/h twice and ended up with no DVD playable in USA. Good luck! Dr M Dixon』 『This brand new - one of a kind - double DVD contains 43 MUDRAS and mantras in Chakra order. Experience the ancient Mudra technique with the foremost authority and best-selling author on hand gestures - Sabrina Mesko. In the introduction you will learn all about the Mudra practice, your energy body, your hands and the cosmos, proper breathing and mantra practice.

Gaiam (formerly Living Arts)
IPhone 3G used's review (Aerobic Yoga?) 『As a beginner to yoga, I was very surprised to see the fast pace of this workout. You barely get into position before Rodney jumps (literally) to a different one. He does not explain or talk you through most of this workout. It is very repetitious with lots and lots of upward and downward dogs and forward bends. I was disappointed with this video, as compared to Yoga for Athletes which sounds very, very daunting but has three levels of demonstration and Rodney slowly moves through the sessions and explains everything thoroughly. If this Power Yoga were the first one I had done, I would not have bought another.』
(Nicely flowing practice provides vigorous stretching) 『First of all, like all of the videos in the Living Arts "for Beginners" series, this tape assumes some prior familiarity with basic yoga poses, so "Yoga Practice for Beginners" is recommended as a first step. Secondly, because this is a "power" yoga workout, it moves along at a fairly quick pace, so some baseline staminia and strength is also a necessary prerequisite to this practice.
That being said, Rodney Yee has done a nice job of putting together a flowing, energizing 25-minute workout on this video. I particularly like how he gradually increases the difficulty level over the course of the practice. For example, when you first begin the sun salutations, you will step back to a lunge and put your knees on the floor before coming into cobra; on subsequent repetitions, you jump back instead and then move into a low push-up position before doing a full upward dog. Yee gradually adds on to the sun salutations with powerful pose, warrior poses, triangle, three-legged dog, and one of my favorite poses, pigeon--this is an especially nice hip opener. Following the standing poses, Yee comes to a seated position for simple seated forward bends: head to knee, wide-legged forward bend, and cobbler. Finally, Yee moves to reclined poses and offers a nice guided meditation in relaxation pose which is less rushed than in his other videos.
This is my favorite video in Yee's Power Yoga series. The practice flows at a nice, steady pace without feeling rushed, and the poses included provide excellent stretches, particularly for the hip area. This is a good video for anyone who wants a shorter yoga practice which is invigorating without being exhausting.』
(Great workout!) 『One word of caution...beginner. It really is best if you get the series (strength or stamina) and become really good at one of those first. This one is a little challenging if you are not in good shape already or if you unfamiliar with yoga poses. Otherwise, the tape is a solid workout and not too long. Before this workout I had a relatively weak upper body, but this has made me much stronger. I can now do several pushups, impossible five weeks ago. I have done tapes by three different people and I find Rodney Yee the best at explaining. It's true that he goes pretty quickly. MAny people who do yoga want a slow pace and more meditation. If that's you then this tape is not for you. But is you want to get stronger, more flexible and work up a ligh sweat, then this is the perfect tape.』
(Lower back pain relief) 『I am tall and I live in Japan, which is designed for small people. Lower back aches and pains are constant for me. I have several of Rodney Yee's Power Yoga videos, but this is the best one to help ease the lower back. If bending forward causes pain or discomfort (other than the stretch of muscles I wouldn't recommend this tape as it will probably only give you more pain! However, if you have a job with a lot of sitting or standing involved and you need a good stretch to relieve the tension - this is the tape! I agree with the comments that this is not a tape for beginners - but then most of the "beginner" series aren't really for beginners anyway. I had never done yoga before using Rodney Yee's "beginner" tapes. If you have good body awareness and start slowly you should be able to get the hang of the tape after 3-5 times.』
(Waste of money) 『Ill sum this up quick. This video was horrible. I like alot of Yees stuff, but this was a bad attempt to keep up with yoga trends. Pace was way too fast and the postures were hardly explained. Save the 9 bucks and put it twords Baptistes or Kests videos.』

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.
