5 Stars Great Yoga Workout
This is a great yoga workout for advanced beginners and for intermediates. Sara Ivanhoe gives clear directions and makes the workout fun even with repeated viewings.

4 Stars Great for beginners…. VERY BASIC
This is a good DVD if you have NEVER EVER done Yoga before. It is very basic but informative. If you have basic knowledge of yoga, I would go for the intermediated dvd. But, like I said, if you have no knowledge whatsoever, this is a great dvd.

2 Stars I’m a beginner but way past this..
I love Sara Ivanhoe and own some and have rented some of her other dvd’s. I was real excited to get this dvd and learn some new great poses. I have just started doing Yoga and I already knew 11 of the 12 poses. I can not believe that I already knew them because they are such simple ones and this is “beyond basic”. It is very clear and it is nice that is shows you what you could be doing wrong but I assumed I would learn the new poses in a flowing sequence. You just learn them and then hold them for 6 breaths and it’s over. It is very easy to do and you could probably skip the first one. Her Crunch dvd’s and 20 min workouts are better. I love the 20 min workouts.

5 Stars Yoga Postures for Strength and Flexibility
Sara Ivanhoe’s nurturing teaching style makes her workouts perfect for beginners, but even if you are intermediate, she still knows how to present challenging postures in a way that makes you want to try them. This workout begins with a series of stretches to warm up the upper body, but you may want to walk for 20-30 minutes or do some aerobics to warm up the muscles. I found that without the walking or biking, I was not as flexible.

“The Daily Dozen” exercises are a little more challenging than the first DVD and I was actually surprised at two of the exercises because they almost seemed advanced. It was more the length of time you are required to hold the posture that seems to make them go beyond intermediate. Upward Dog is surprisingly challenging when held for six breaths. Normally I’ve tried this in a vinyasa style workout with flowing postures. When you take each posture and focus your attention for six breaths, this becomes a test of patience and endurance. The postures include:

Chair

Warrior

Triangle

Wide Leg Standing Forward Bend

Low Lunge Twist

Upward Facing Dog

Dolphin

Cow - I had never seen this exercise before! Total challenge!

Wide Leg Seated Forward Bend

Reclined Butterfly

Supine Twist

Final Relaxation

I really loved “Dolphin” which is like Downward dog with your arms bent and your head almost on the floor. It tests your upper body strength and balance, but feels great once you are done with the breathing exercises. Each posture presents a physical and psychological challenge which makes them even more fun.

“Cow” felt very much like an advanced exercise, mostly because of the flexibility required to even get into the posture. I literally sat there laughing when I realized there was no way my legs would “pretzel” the way the exercise required. So, you may just want to adapt that one for beginner/intermediate and it still seems to have the desired effect. Beginners will find some of the exercises to be more intermediate, and intermediate practitioners may find this workout great for developing patience.

For some reason, which I can’t explain, Sara Ivanhoe’s workouts leave me feeling more centered, balanced and generally happy and peaceful. It is as if the world spins a little more smoothly after the workout. A meditation session is also offered and Sara Ivanhoe teaches you a new mudra. I can also highly recommend her Candlelight Yoga workout and all of her 20-minute Makeovers.

3 Stars A little disappointed…
I bought the First DVD, Yoga for Dummies. It was great because it had a section where she showed you each pose and then she actually gave you a full routine that you could practice to. This DVD only gives the instructional part but there is no routine to follow. And I agree with the other reviews…the pop-ups are beyond annoying. I do not think these existed on the first DVD and I am not quite sure why they were added. I like Candle Light Yoga and Crunch Fat Burning with Sara but I would not recommend this DVD due to the fact that it is basically instructional with no practice routine to go with the instructional.

5 Stars Kundalini Yoga- A Journey through the Chakras
I have been using this DVD for several weeks now, and love it. The exercises are simple enough and explained well so that anyone can do them, from a beginner to experienced yoga, (I have been practicing yoga for about 40 years)I have been going back an forth with kundalini yoga for about 5 years and have decided to get serious about it, this DVD is a good place to start. I find the exercises raise my energy, and I am noticing that I am going through my days with more energy, I handle stress better ( work in a nursing home for the elderly), am happier and I sleep better. I work an eight hour job where I am moving constantly, in other words I don’t sit at a desk, like most people I don’t have hours to do yoga every day, I like how the CD is divided into thirty minute sections, or you can do the full hour on days that you have more time, I also like that they explain why you are doing each asana, meditation, bandh, mantra, breathing and mudra, I like to know what and why I am doing something, I feel that in knowing, your thoughts also create energy and can have a fuller impact on what you are working on, such as each chakra or chakras, and moving the energy up the spine etc. I also love the meditations at the end. To me Ana Brett and Ravi Singh did a nice job putting this DVD together, it flows nicely.

5 Stars fill your body with your own light & power
This DVD is so amazing. It is difficult to do if you have never worked with breath or muscle isolation, HOWEVER, if you want the experience of feeling your body fill with the kundalini energy, this is for you! I do it once a week and am hoping to work up to more. Beginners should get a beginner yoga program to loosen up the body and learn breath work first. Start slow with this DVD. Stick with it and you will fill the power that is within your own body! It is truly amazing!

5 Stars What a Journey?
This journey was such an inpirational one. Not only do you get a great workout but along the way you learn about each chakra and its purpose.

One of my favorite poses is Tree pose, I feel grounded yet relaxed.

This is great for beginners and the advanced yogi.

Ana and Ravi are so inspirational and so giving by creating these workouts for everyone. Everyday I wake up looking forward to spending my first hour + with them. Sat Nam

5 Stars If you really want to get in touch with kundalini energy this DVD is it!
I was really surprised with how I felt after finishing this DVD for the first time–my mind felt clear and balanced. I was having some difficulties before with visualizing my 6th and 7th chakra colors, but after doing this workout twice I don’t have that issue anymore. This is a really wonderful approach to balancing chakras and your life. In comparison to some other Ravi and Ana’s DVD’s that I have I would say this one has a moderate level of physical activity and more complex breathing and energy moving exercises then other newer DVD’s that they have. Even though it is one of their earlier DVD’s–it is certainly a “must have”. I absolutely love it!!

5 Stars A REAL JOURNEY
THIS ONE, WITH INVIGORATING EXERCISES AND MEDITATIONS, SENT ME ON A VERY INTERESTING INNER JOURNEY. VERY INTROSPECTIVE AND GOOD WORKOUT TOO.
