Kundalini Yoga Meditation for Beginners & Beyond

I believe this is the #1 Kundalini DVD Series out there. I discovered this Kundalini Yoga Series by Ana Brett and Ravi Singh on Amazon about 2 years ago and it is incredible. I have been doing casual yoga of various sorts here and there via DVD and at the (Hatha, Kripalu, etc.) over the years but this series by Ana Brett and Ravi Singh fundamentally changed my approach to wellness, fitness, personal growth and outlook on life. I was totally new to Kundalini Yoga and, frankly, a but skeptical about it since it has some "unusual" moves and poses and chanting compared to other forms of exercise and Yoga I have done at the gym and via DVDs. Now I see the power of Kundalini via Ana and Ravi "technology" that integrates physicality, mindfulness, and spirit. It is not easy at first - but that is the point. You do what you can, dot judge yourself and you reap massive benefits. I progressed quite rapidly from things I felt were impossible but worth trying to not so hard to challenging to "not hard any more". I feel GREAT every single time I complete a DVD - -my mood, my body, my creativity, my stress, my mind clarity, my stamina, etc. Its truly amazing. The key to reaping these benefits is to not get caught up in saying "this is weird" but to say "just try it and see how you feel". Incredibly fit and wise people did this type of yoga and meditation hundreds and thousands of years ago as a regular regime but Western society has somehow made it non-traditional and inaccessible. Many other types of Yoga focus too much on the body and physicality and don't see the mind, body, spirit interconnection like Ravi and Ana. Ravi and Ana make it so accessible - combining direction on how to do the poses and breathwork and sounds (mantras) that vibrate your body to heal it, strengthen it and give new clarity. Ana demonstrates the poses (don't be intimidated by how easy she makes things look - just do your best is what I found) and Ravi and Ana explain the physiological basis of how each pose affects your glands, nervous system, muscular system. Brain and energy and spirit. Ravi has amazing poetry sprinkled in to make it just a beautiful relaxing experience (even though its quite physical!). The production is very professionally done -- different angles, alternatives if you have certain issues or challenges, music editing, pacing, etc. I totally recommend any of Ana Brett and Ravi Singh's DVD's to anyone whether you do Yoga already or not. It can truly take your fitness to another level along with your outlook on life. Good luck! Kundalini Yoga Meditation for Beginners & Beyond

Having purchased and reveiwed quite a few of Ravi/Ana DVD's it may seem like I'm a bit biased ;-) Maybe I am (?), maybe not, it's just that it seems that the Ravi/Ana team puts so much thought into what the viewer may need or want, that every DVD seems custom made for me. I LOVE the Pre-sets, I LOVE the chaptering, I LOVE the Matrix, I LOVE the explanations, cueing, and soothing details, I LOVE the positive affirmations and reinforcements, I LOVE the encouraging words etc., ...you get the picture.There really is nothing that I don't like about the series and this DVD is no exception. I've only completed 4 of available (7 on the chapter sets and two additional extended meditiation), but after just 15 minutes of meditation, I felt calmer, clearer and not as stressed. This was the reason I bought this particular DVD. I have other meditation DVD's, but the ability to tailor the mediation to my needs (Self healing, rewriting the script of my life, total regeneration, etc.) and also to my time limitations makes this DVD worth every penny spent.The other DVD's last a prescribed amount of time and if you don't want or need to meditate that long, you have to stop the DVD or fast forward to the relaxation..it doesn't work for me...in fact it's more stressful, because my mind is on the clock and not clear. With these meditations, you can "set the DVD" for a Tune-in, 15-90 minutes (or more) meditation, guided relaxation and then do what it is you sat down to do...clear your mind. You know that the DVD will only go for 20 minutes and you'll hear the cueing telling you it's time to come back. It's like having teachers/gurus/friends come into my room for a few minutes of the day and spend alone time.I never tire of this series and it always delivers what I need..Thanks so much Ana and Ravi....

I love this dvd. It is perfect if you want to enhance your meditation practice, especially if you are already a fan of Ravi Singh/Ana Brett Kundalini yoga. I have with this one included, 11 dvds of theirs. I always have struggled to do the meditations at the end of the programs and usually skip them, instead choosing to close with the deep relaxation and the closing prayer. I don't skip them because they aren't great, its just hard to fit all of that in during one practice. I have often thought how nice it would be to take those meditations and make a dvd just of them, and thats what they have done! This dvd is a solution for me because it allows me to make a devoted time only for meditation. It is put together very well and they have included extended meditations, some lasting 31 minutes as well as pre selected workouts, the AM and the PM was a great idea. They have the matrix which allows you to make your own workout, which is very important for this particular one. I haven't done everything on the DVD yet, just got it yesterday but last night I watched the commentary on the meditations, which is great as it explains everything and did the PM meditation. Beautiful, very peaceful. The music is nice, very Indian which I love having lived there and feel a real connection with. If you want a dvd that is only meditation and put together beautifully, you should purchase this. If you have never done a RaviAna dvd you should purchase it too! They are very special people that have a wonderful gift to give, very inspirational.

This is a beautiful DVD of Kundalini yoga meditations as given by Yogi Bhajan. It goes very well with a yoga practice. It's not meant to be a relaxation practice it is conscious breath work (although there is a beautiful deep relaxation included) it's sad that this DVD only has 3 stars as it is worthy of 10 but perhaps people have bought it thinking it was purely for relaxation.I recommend this dvd to all my therapy clients and no one has ever reported anything but great resultsSat Nam 💙💚🙏🙏

great for those new to meditation or those just seeking new ideas & inspiration or just plain motivation to start & keep to a regular practise. several sections ranging in time from 5-15 mins so always something for you to fit in the time you've got. there are also pre-set practises or you can design your own workout. hihghly recommend for those needing a little motivation or inspira\tion

I wouldn't say this is a calming meditation at all!! Its weird but it is very good at making you realise the connection between breath and body. I do prefer more yoga style meditation.

Was not a very restful meditation video. Instead of making me feel relaxed, the commentary just made me anxious. :-(

I love Ana Brett's DVD's. There are lots of different meditations on this DVD with different lengths of time. Just wish I had more time at home to spend doing her DVD's
